Recall that a topological space xis locally compact if given a point x2xthere exists a compact subset uof xsuch that ucontains an open neighbourhood of x. Namely, we will discuss metric spaces, open sets, and closed sets.

Then each orbit of the homeomorphism group g of x is open. Let h be a subgroup of a topological group g, and let p. If g is a topological group, then every open subgroup of g is also closed. In the general case, all the cosets are homeomorphic to h h which we have just shown to be a paracompact group. Let ldenote the category of locally compact abelian groups and continuous homomorphisms and let t rz be the unit circle group. Since the continuous image of a compact set is compact, k1k2 is compact. Pointset topology is the main language for a broad range of mathematical disciplines, while algebraic topology offers as a powerful tool for studying problems in geometry and numerous other areas of mathematics. All the familiar groups in particular, all matrix groupsare locally compact.

The importance of compact open topologies is due to the fact that they are essential elements in pontryagins theory of duality of locally compact commutative groups. The compactopen topology is one in which the fundamental system of neighbour. A locally compact topological group is complete in its uniform structure. We will use the terms ndisk, ncell, nball interchangeably to refer to any topological space homeomorphic to the standard nball. In addition to metrizability, separability and second countability of this topology on kc x, various kinds of topological properties of this topology are studied in detail.
For some purposes, the homeomorphism group happens to be too big, but by means of the isotopy relation, one can reduce this group to the mapping class group.
