Continuity of operations in right semitopological groups

Abstract

Groups with a topology that is in consistent one way or another with the algebraic structure are considered. Well-known classes of groups with a topology are topological, paratopological, semitopological, and quasitopological groups. We also study other ways of matching topology and algebraic structure. The minimum requirement in this paper is that the group is a right semitopological group (such groups are often called right topological groups). We study when a group with a topology is a topological group; research in this direction began with the work of Deane Montgomery and Robert Ellis. (Invariant) semi-neighborhoods of the diagonal are used as a means of study.
