Extract

Let H and K be topological groups, and let HⓈ K denote the semidirect product determined by a homomorphism (η): H → A(K), where A(K) is the automorphism group of K. In this paper we consider two restricted types of semidirect products. We say that HⓈ K is a semidirect product of type I if η(h) is the identity on Z(K), the centre of K, for each hє H, and of type II if η(H) є I(K), where I(K) is the group of inner automorphisms of K. We obtain conditions under which a type II semidirect product of two groups with equal uniformities has equal uniformities, and conditions under which a type I (hence type II) product of two central groups is central. A group G is central if G/Z(G) is compact, where Z(G) is the centre of G.
