Apr 19, 2023 at 16:50 comment added Emil Jeřábek Then you need to show that the closure of an abelian subgroup is abelian. This is no easier that using centralizers.
Apr 19, 2023 at 16:48 comment added YCor You're invoking the centralizer and that's unnecessary. The closure is a larger subgroup, and is abelian, hence is equal.
Apr 19, 2023 at 16:47 comment added Emil Jeřábek @YCor Well that’s exactly what I have just proved, isn’t it?
Apr 19, 2023 at 16:46 comment added YCor I should add that the "standard topology" of $S_\omega$ was discovered by L. Onofri in the 20s and rediscovered decades later.
Apr 19, 2023 at 16:46 comment added YCor No need for centralizers: in a Polish [edit: in every Hausdorff top. group] group, the maximal abelian subgroups are closed.
