Exercise 13, § 1

General Topology, IX

Let GG be a locally compact, non-compact topological group. Show that the uniformity induced on the product space H=G×GH = G \times G by the uniformity of its Stone-Čech compactification βH\beta H is strictly finer than the uniformity induced by that of (βG)×(βG)(\beta G) \times (\beta G). [Assuming the result false, show, by applying Exercise 7 a) to the mapping (x,y)→xy−1(x, y) \to xy^{-1} of HH into GG, that GG would be isomorphic to a subgroup of a compact group; now apply Chapter III, § 3, no. 3, Proposition 4, Corollary 1.]
