The regularity of quotient paratopological groups

Group Theory 2014-12-04 v4

Abstract

Let HH be a closed subgroup of a regular abelian paratopological group GG. The group reflexion GG^\flat of GG is the group GG endowed with the strongest group topology, weaker that the original topology of GG. We show that the quotient G/HG/H is Hausdorff (and regular) if HH is closed (and locally compact) in GG^\flat. On the other hand, we construct an example of a regular abelian paratopological group GG containing a closed discrete subgroup HH such that the quotient G/HG/H is Hausdorff but not regular.
