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=\{\...

Image of a complete topological group under open and surjective map is complete?
A uniform space $X$ is complete if every Cauchy filter in $X$ is convergent. Here we do not require $X$ to be Hausdorff.
Question.
Let $G$ be a complete topological group and let $H$ be a topological ...

Alternative uniformities on topological groups
Are there any interesting alternative uniformities defined on topological groups besides the usual four (left, right, and their meet/join)? I am curious because in the (sort of) dual setting of coarse ...

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 ...

When is the unitary dual of a lscs group uniformizable?
Let $G$ be a locally compact, second countable group. We equip the unitary dual $\widehat{G}$ with the Fell topology. I am looking for conditions which guarantee that the topological space $\widehat{G}...

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 ...

In a topological group $G$ with its lower uniformity, if $G$ is locally totally bounded, is its completion locally compact?
There has been work done on groups whose lower uniformity (or Roelcke uniformity) is totally bounded, e.g. the orthogonal group on a Hilbert space. This condition is equivalent to saying the lower ...

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 $A\cap B=\{0\}$?

A theorem of Markov about completely regular spaces and topological groups
In Pontriaguin's classic book Grupos continuos (in English Continuous Groups), says that A. Markov proved that:
There are topological groups that are not normal.
Furthermore, he says it is deduced ...

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 ...
