Proposition 1. The left and right translations are isomorphisms of the right uniformity onto itself.
As to the right translations, the result is clear, since the relation \( y{x}^{-1} \in \mathrm{V} \) is equivalent to \( \left( {ya}\right) {\left( xa\right) }^{-1} \in \mathrm{V} \) [in other words, the mapping \( \left( {x, y}\right) \rightarrow \left( {{xa},{ya}}\right) \) leaves \( {\mathrm{V}}_{d} \) fixed].

As to a), since K is compact, \( {\operatorname{pr}}_{2} : \left( {s, x}\right) \rightarrow x \) is proper (Chapter I,§ 10, no. 2, Theorem 1, Corollary 5); hence, \( \mathrm{X} \) being Hausdorff, \( \left( {s, x}\right) \rightarrow \left( {x, s.x}\right) \) is proper (Chapter I, § 10, no. 1, Proposition 5, Corollary 3...

Proposition 8 (Restricted associativity of series). Let \( \left( {k}_{n}\right) \) be a strictly increasing sequence of integers \( \geq 0 \) . If the series whose general term is \( {x}_{n} \) converges, and if we put \( {u}_{n} = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{p = {k}_{n - 1}}}{x}_{p} \), then the series whose general term...
For the sequence of partial sums of the series \( \left( {u}_{n}\right) \) is a subsequence \( \left( {s}_{{k}_{n} - 1}\right) \) of the sequence \( \left( {s}_{n}\right) \) of partial sums of the series \( \left( {x}_{n}\right) \) .

Proposition 9. The series defined by the sequence \( \left( {x}_{n}\right) \) is commutatively convergent if and only if the sequence \( \left( {x}_{n}\right) \) is summable; and then, for each permutation of \( \mathbf{N} \), we have \[ {\int }_{n = 0}^{\infty }{x}_{\sigma } = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n \in \mathbf{N}}...
If the sequence is summable, then clearly the series is commutatively convergent. To prove the reverse implication we shall argue by reductio ad absurdum and suppose that the series \( \left( {x}_{n}\right) \) is commutatively convergent but that the sequence \( \left( {x}_{n}\right) \) is not summable.

Proposition 1. If \( \mathrm{H} \) is a stable subgroup of a topological group \( \mathrm{G} \) with operators, then the closure \( \overline{\mathrm{H}} \) of \( \mathrm{H} \) in \( \mathrm{G} \) is a stable subgroup of \( \mathrm{G} \) .
We know already (§ 2, no. 1, Proposition 1) that \( \overline{\mathbf{H}} \) is a subgroup of \( \mathbf{G} \). Also if \( \alpha \) is any operator on \( \mathrm{G} \), the image of \( \mathrm{H} \) under the continuous mapping \( x \rightarrow {x}^{\alpha } \) is contained in \( \mathrm{H} \), and therefore the image...

Since \( I = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{n}{P}_{i} \) (where \( I \) denotes the identity mapping of \( E \) ) it is sufficient for \( n - 1 \) of the projectors \( {p}_{i} \) to be continuous in order that the \( n \) th should also be continuous.

Let \( \mathrm{X} \) be a topological space, and let \( f \) and \( g \) be two mappings of \( \mathrm{X} \) into a topological ring \( \mathrm{A} \). If \( f \) and \( g \) are continuous at a point \( {x}_{0} \in \mathrm{X} \), then \( f + g, - f \) and \( {fg} \) are continuous at this point.
It follows that the continuous mappings of \( \mathrm{X} \) into \( \mathrm{A} \) form a subring of the ring \( {A}^{x} \) of all mappings of \( X \) into \( A \) . We see also that, if \( A \) is commutative, then every polynomial in \( n \) variables, with coefficients in \( \mathbf{A} \) and defined on \( {\mathrm{A...

Corollary 1. If the \( {\mathrm{G}}_{\alpha } \) are compact and the \( {\mathrm{X}}_{\alpha } \) Hausdorff, then the conclusions of \( \mathrm{a} ) and \( \mathrm{b} ) are valid.
For the hypotheses of a) and b) are satisfied, since every closed subgroup of \( {\mathrm{G}}_{\alpha } \) is compact and \( {u}_{\alpha } : {s}_{\alpha } \rightarrow {s}_{\alpha }.{x}_{\alpha } \) is a continuous mapping of a compact space into a Hausdorff space.

Corollary 1. If the condition (AP) is satisfied and if in addition the (Hausdorff) groups \( \mathrm{G}/{\mathrm{H}}_{\alpha } \) are complete, then the group \( \mathrm{G} \) has a Hausdorff completion which can be identified with \( \widetilde{\mathrm{G}} \) ; and the mapping \( i : \mathrm{G} \rightarrow \widetilde{...
For \( \widetilde{\mathbf{G}} \) is then complete (no. 2), and Proposition 2 shows that \( i\left( \mathbf{G}\right) \) is isomorphic with the Hausdorff group associated with \( \mathrm{G} \) ; since it is dense in \( \widetilde{G} \), the corollary follows \( \left( {§3,\text{no. 3, Proposition 5}}\right) \) .

The facts that \( {f}_{\alpha } \) is surjective and that its kernel is compact are consequences of Chapter I,§ 9, no. 6, Corollary 1 to Proposition 8.

Proposition 1. The relation \( y - x \in {\overline{\mathbf{Q}}}_{ + } \) is an ordering on \( \mathbf{R} \) which makes R into a linearly ordered set; is compatible with the additive group structure on \( \mathbf{R} \) , and induces the ordering \( x \leq y \) on \( \overline{\mathbf{Q}} \) .
We begin by showing that the relations \( y - x \in {\overline{\mathbf{Q}}}_{ + } \) and \( z - y \in {\overline{\mathbf{Q}}}_{ + } \) imply \( z - x \in {\overline{\mathbf{Q}}}_{ + } \) . Indeed, the function \( x + y \) is continuous on \( \mathbf{R} \times \mathbf{R} \) , and therefore by (8) we have \( {\overline{\...

Proposition 3. As \( r \) runs through the set of rational numbers \( > 0 \), the intervals \( {\mathrm{s}}_{r} = \left\lbrack {-r, + r}\right\rbrack \) in \( \mathbf{R} \) form a fundamental system of neighbourhoods of \( 0 \) .
By Proposition 7 of Chapter III,§ 3, no. 4 we obtain a fundamental system of neighbourhoods of o in \( \mathbf{R} \) by taking the closures in \( \mathbf{R} \) of the intervals\n\n\( {\mathbf{S}}_{r} \cap \mathbf{Q} = \left\lbrack {-r, + r}\right\rbrack \) of \( \mathbf{Q} \) .

Proposition 4. If \( \left( {x, y}\right) \) is any pair of real numbers such that \( x < y \), there is a rational number \( r \) such that \( x < r < y \) .
Since \( \mathbf{Q} \) is dense in \( \mathbf{R} \), it is enough to show that \( \rbrack x, y\lbrack \) is not empty; by translation we may assume \( x = 0 \) and \( y > 0 \) .

Every open interval of \( \mathbf{I} \) is the trace on \( \mathbf{I} \) of an open interval of \( \mathbf{R} \). This is clear for a bounded interval, and the unbounded interval \( \rbrack a, \rightarrow \lbrack \) of \( \mathbf{I} \) is the trace of the unbounded interval \( \rbrack a, \rightarrow \lbrack \) of \( \m...

The condition is clearly necessary. Conversely, suppose that it is satisfied. If \( A \) is neither bounded above nor below it must be the whole of \( \mathbf{R} \) , for if \( x \) is any point of \( \mathbf{R} \) there are then two points \( a, b \) of \( \mathrm{A} \) such that \( a < x < b \) .
