Aug 18, 2023 at 8:00 comment added Nick S @UriBader Actually $G$ is open in $bG$ if and only if $G$ is compact (in which case $G=bG$).

Dec 21, 2017 at 20:09 comment added Uri Bader @HamedPourmohammad, $G$ is always dense in $bG$ by definition. The problem is that it might not be open in (or might not inject into) it.

Dec 18, 2017 at 20:14 comment added YCor Would you define "topological compactification"? I'm not aware of any difference between "compactification" and "topological compactification". Does the latter mean that the subspace carries the compactification map induces a homeomorphism onto its image?
Dec 18, 2017 at 19:24 comment added XIII Is it clear that Bohr compactification is not a topological comactification? Does it mean for example that $G$ is not dense in $bG$ (in the sense of topological compactifications)? @FrancoisZiegler
Dec 18, 2017 at 19:20 comment added XIII Thanks. I don't know the topology of $b \mathbb{Z}$, good point. @GeraldEdgar
Dec 18, 2017 at 19:09 comment added Francois Ziegler Bohr compactification (of a not already-compact group) is not a "topological" compactification.
Dec 18, 2017 at 19:03 comment added Gerald Edgar Maybe first work on $b\mathbb Z$ and figure out whether the natural image of $\mathbb Z$ in there has the discrete topology.
