Abstract

The topology of a topological group in which the intersection of open sets is open is uniquely determined by a normal subgroup, and the group is uniquely an extension of an indiscrete group by a discrete group. This was proved by M.C. Thornton under the additional hypothesis that the group is a torsion group. The proofs here given make the more general facts almost trivial.
