A survey of generalized metrizable properties in topological groups and weakly topological groups

Abstract

The theory of generalized metrizable spaces is an important topic of general topology. This paper is a survey of research methods and achievements on generalized metrizable properties in topological groups and weakly topological groups. We mainly study this kind of properties in topological groups, semitopological groups, paratopological groups, quasitopological groups and free topological groups, and focus on the influence of separation properties, conditions for weakly topological groups to become topological groups, cardinal invariants, weak first-countability, three-space properties and remainders in compactifications on topological groups and related structures. Finally, some unsolved problems in this field are listed for researchers.
