What is the universal/fine uniformity on a topological group?
Cross posted from https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4889335
I'm aware that every topological group is uniformizable: given a neighborhood $U\in\mathcal N(e)$ of the identity, the set $D_U=\{\...

Does each $\omega$-narrow topological group have countable discrete cellularity?
A topological space $X$ is defined to have countable discrete cellularity if each discrete family of open subsets of $X$ is at most countable.
A family $\mathcal F$ of subsets of a topological space ...

Has the Roelcke completion of a topological group any reasonable algebraic structure?
It is well-known that each topological group $G$ carries (at least) four natural uniformities:
the left uniformity $\mathcal L$, generated by the base $\{\{(x,y)\in G\times G:y\in xU\}:U\in\mathcal ...

Is a successor to a successor to the trivial group topology on an Abelian group, totally bounded?
Is there an example of an Abelian group $G$ and group topologies $\cal S$ and $\cal T$ on it such that $\cal S$ is an immediate successor to the trivial topology on $G$ (i.e there is no other group ...

Baire Category Theorem for complete uniform spaces
The version of the Baire Category Theorem I have in mind is the statement that a countable intersection of dense open subsets of a complete metric space is dense. The question is: is it likewise ...

Totally bounded group topologies on $\Bbb Q$ with trivial intersection of two neighborhoods
Are there totally bounded group topologies $\mathcal S$ and $\mathcal T$ on $\Bbb Q$ such that for some open sets $A\in\mathcal S$ and $B\in \mathcal T$ we have $A\cap B=\{0\}$?

Start with a topological group, take the meet of the two uniformities, and take the topology. Is the result again a topological group? [xpost from math.SE]
And what else can be said, if so?
(Original math.SE post)
In more detail: Say $(G,\mathscr{T})$ is a topological group. It has a left uniformity $\mathscr{L}$ and a right uniformity $\mathscr{R}$. (...

Does the weak approximation theorem hold for general topological fields?
The weak approximation theorem states that given a field $F$ and nontrivial inequivalent absolute values $|\cdot|_1,\ldots,|\cdot|_n,$ and letting $F_i$ denote $F$ with the topology from $|\cdot|_i$, ...

Finite dimensional vector spaces over a complete but not-necessarily-valued field
I'm essentially reopening this old question of Ricky Demer which was never fully answered.
Essentially the original question: Suppose we have a topological field $F$ which is complete, Hausdorff, and ...
