A note on automatic continuity

Group Theory 2019-08-13 v1

Abstract

We present new results regarding automatic continuity, unifying some diagonalization concepts that have been developed over the years. For example, any homomorphism from a completely metrizable topological group to Thompson's group FF has open kernel. A similar claim holds when FF is replaced with a Baumslag-Solitar group or a torsion-free word hyperbolic group.
