Where can I learn more about the topology on $\mathbb{R}$ induced by the map $\mathbb{R} \to \prod_{a>0} (\mathbb{R}/a\mathbb{Z})$?

Consider the (continuous, injective, abelian group homomorphism) map $\Phi \colon \mathbb{R} \to \prod_{a>0} (\mathbb{R}/a\mathbb{Z})$ (where the target is given the product topology) taking $x\in \...

Reference request: placing a set with respect to the integer grid

For $x=(x_1,...,x_n)\in \mathbb{R}^n$, let $Q_x=(x_1,x_1+1)\times ...\times (x_n,x_n+1)$ - the open cube having $x$ in its "bottom left" corner. It seems, I can prove (see a draft here) the following ...

Structure of extensions arising in Lie approximation of connected groups

My imperfect understanding is that, by the work of various authors (Gleason, Yamabe, Montgomery, Zippin ...), the following result is known: Let $G$ be a connected, locally compact, Hausdorff group, ...

Are $T_0$ topological quasigroups completely regular?

In 1957 H. Salzmann generalized to quasigroups but weakened the standard result that $T_0$ topological groups are completely regular. He was able to show that $T_0$ topological quasigroups are regular ...

Embedding abelian cancellative Hausdorff topological semigroups into abelian Hausdorff topological groups

An abelian cancellative semigroup embeds (via a semigroup monomorphism) into an abelian group. What about an abelian cancellative Hausdorff topological semigroup that does not embed (via a ...

Borel subsets of Polish groups

Suppose that I have a polish group $G$ and two subsets $A$ and $B$ of $G$ such that: $A$ is open in $G$ and $B$ is closed in $G,$ from this, can I conclude that $AB$ is a Borel subset of $G$? if not, ...

Is there a compact connected Hausdorff space in which every non-empty $G_\delta$ set has non-empty interior?

Q1. Is there a compact connected Hausdorff space (with at least two points) in which every non-empty $G_\delta$ set has non-empty interior? (Without the requirement for connectedness, every finite $...
