Exercise 26, § 3
General Topology, X
Bourbaki marks this one as harder than the rest.
a) Let be a locally compact uniform space, a group of homeomorphisms of , and the closure of in . Show that is compact with respect to the topology of pointwise convergence and is a group of homeomorphisms if and only if is relatively compact in . [Use Exercises 12 and 24 and the Corollary to Theorem 4 (no. 5).]
b) Let be a locally compact, non-compact topological group and let be its one-point compactification; can be identified with a group of homeomorphisms of . Show that is not equicontinuous, although its closure in is compact.
