General Topology, chapter III, § 6. Topological groups with operators; topological rings division rings and fields

If HH is a stable subgroup of a topological group GG with operators, then the closure H‾\overline{H} of HH in GG is a stable subgroup of GG.

We know already (§ 2, no. 1, Proposition 1) that H‾\overline{H} is a subgroup of GG. Also if α\alpha is any operator on GG, the image of HH under the continuous mapping x→xαx \to x^\alpha is contained in HH, and therefore the image of H‾\overline{H} is contained in H‾\overline{H} (Chapter I, § 2, no. 1, Theorem 1).

Let HH be a stable normal subgroup of a topological group GG with operators. Then for each operator α\alpha on GG, the mapping of G/HG/H into itself induced by x→xαx \to x^\alpha is continuous (§ 2, no. 8, Remark 3), and the structure of group with operators on G/HG/H is therefore compatible with the quotient topology on G/HG/H.

Let (Gi)i∈I(G_i)_{i \in I} be a family of topological groups with operators, where each GiG_i is assumed to have the same operator set Ω\Omega. For each α∈Ω\alpha \in \Omega, the mapping x→((prix)α)x \to ((\mathrm{pr}_i x)^\alpha) of G=∏i∈IGiG = \prod_{i \in I} G_i into itself is continuous (Chapter I, § 4, no. 1, Proposition 1), and the structure of groups with operators on GG is therefore compatible with the product topology on GG.

If GG is a Hausdorff topological group with operators and if GG has a completion G^\hat{G} (§ 3, no. 4), then every endomorphism x→xαx \to x^\alpha of GG defined by an operator on GG can be extended by continuity to an endomorphism of G^\hat{G} (§ 3, no. 3, Proposition 5). Hence G^\hat{G} has the structure of a topological group with operators, and the operator set is the same for G^\hat{G} as for GG.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
