1 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 55, Number 1, February 1976 APPLICATIONS OF THE STONE-CECH COMPACTIFICATION TO FREE TOPOLOGICAL GROUPS J. P. L. HARDY, SIDNEY A. MORRIS1 AND H. B. THOMPSON Abstract. In this note the Stone-Cech compactification is used to produce short proofs of two theorems on the structure of free topological groups. The first is: The free topological group on any Tychonoff space X contains, as a closed subspace, a homeomorphic copy of the product space X". This is a generalization of a result of B. V. S. Thomas. The second theorem proved is C. Joiner's, Fundamental Lemma. 1. Introduction. Definition. Let A be any topological space. Then the compact Hausdorff space BX is said to be the Stone-Cech compactification of X if there exists a continuous map B: X» BX such that for any continuous map of A into any compact Hausdorff space AT there exists a unique continuous map $: BX -» K such that <&B = <j>. While BX exists and is unique for any topological space A, it is of particular interest when A is a Tychonoff (= completely regular Hausdorff) space, for then B is an embedding of A in BX and we can consider A to be a subspace of BX. (For details, see Kelley [5].) Definition. Let A be any Tychonoff space. Then the Hausdorff topological group F(A) is said to be the free topological group on A if A is a subspace of F(A") and for any continuous map <b of A into any topological group G there exists a unique continuous homomorphism 4>: F(A) * G such that $ A = <f>. It is known [8], [1], [2] that for any Tychonoff space A, F(A) exists and is unique. Considered as an abstract group F(A) is the free group on the set A. If, in the above definition, ' group ' is replaced everywhere by ' abelian group ' then we have the definition of the free abelian topological group AiX) on X. Of course, considered as an abstract group, /1(A) is just the free abelian group on the set A. Category theorists will recognize that if Top is the category of topological spaces and continuous maps and Comp. Haus. is the category of compact Hausdorff spaces and continuous maps, then the functor B: Top -» Comp. Haus. is the left adjoint to the forgetful functor from Comp. Haus. to Top. The existence and uniqueness of B(X) then follows from the Freyd adjoint functor theorem. Similar remarks can be made about FtA) and AiX). (For further details see Mac Lane [7].) We prove here two theorems: Received by the editors May 15, 1974 and, in revised form, January 2, AMS (MOS) subject classifications (1970).Primary 22A05, 54D35. Key words and phrases.

2 STONE-CECH COMPACTIFICATION 161 Theorem A. Let X be any Tychonoff space. Then F\X) and A(X) both contain, as a closed subspace, a homeomorphic copy of the product space X" = X X X X X X, for each n S 1. Theorem B. Let X be any Tychonoff space and let Fn(X) (An(X)) denote the subspace of F(X) (A(X)) comprising all the words of length ^ n with respect to X. Let x,1 xen" be any reduced word, with x, G X and e, = ± 1. Then a base of neighbourhoods of xxl xen" in the subspace Fn(X) (An(X)) is formed by the family of all subsets of the form U^ 7 e" where U, is a neighbourhood of x, in X for i = 1,..., n. B. V. S. Thomas [12] proved Theorem A for A(X) only. Her proof cannot easily be extended to deal with F(X). C. Joiner [4] proved Theorem B. In both cases, particularly the latter, the original proofs are significantly longer and more difficult than ours. Both of these papers include applications of the results. We do not give any further applications except to point out that Thomas' result can be derived easily from Joiner's. Further discussion of both results will be given in Nickolas [10]. 2. Proofs. To introduce the essential idea of our Stone-Cech compactification proofs we begin with a well-known proposition. The proof we give here was first used in Morris [9, Theorem 2.2] for a related result. All other proofs known to us (for example, see [8], [1] and [2]) are much longer. Proposition. Let X be any Tychonoff space. Then X and F (X), for all n S 1, are closed subspaces of F(X). Proof. Consider the free topological group F(RX) on the Stone-Cech compactification BX of X. The natural map R: X > RX C F(BX) can, by the properties of free topological groups, be extended to a continuous homomorphism/ F(X) > F(RX). Clearly y is an algebraic isomorphism of F(X) onto j(f(x)) G F(RX). Noting that F(X) is algebraically the free group on the set X and F(RX) is algebraically the free group on the set RX, it is obvious that j~x(bx) = X and j~x(fn(rx)) = Fn(X). Since BX and Fn(RX) = ^((RX U (RX)'1 u {*})"), where xp denotes multiplication in F(RX) and e denotes the identity in F(RX), are compact, they are closed subspaces of the Hausdorff group F(BX). From the continuity of j it then follows immediately that X and Fn(X), n > 1, are closed subspaces of F\X) as required. Remark. The essential feature of the above proof is that the natural map R: X -> R(X) C F(RX) can be extended to a continuous algebraic isomorphism / of F(X) onto its image in F(RX). Proof of Theorem A. Consider the diagram (BXy -> FffiX) > i X"->F(X)
3 162 j. p. l. HARDY, S. A. MORRIS AND H. B. THOMPSON where X" and (BX)" denote the product of n copies of A and of BX, respectively; /' is the natural embedding of X" in (BX)" given by i(xx,...,xn) = (/3(x,),...,Bixn));jis the map described in the above Remark; and 4> and * are given by (x,,...,x ) -> x, x\ x2,"''. Clearly 4> and ^ are continuous injections. Noting that F(j3X) is Hausdorff and ibx)" is compact, we see that ^ is an embedding of ibx)" in FiBX). Further, as ^HBX)") is compact, it is a closed subspace of FiBX). (So we have proved the theorem in the case when A is compact; that is, when A = BX) Since B: X -> /?(A") is an embedding, i: X" -* ibx)" is also an embedding. Thus u/i is an embedding of X" in F\BX). Noting that the above diagram is commutative, this says that7$ is an embedding of X" in jf(bx). Hence, $ must be an embedding of X" in F(A). Finally, noting that <I>(An) = J~:(^((PX)")) and that <K(/3A)") is closed in FiBX), we have that $(A"") is closed in F(A). The abelian case can be proved in a similar fashion. Proof of Theorem B. Let U be any neighbourhood in FniX) of x,1 xenn. Then U = U' n FniX), where U is a neighbourhood in F(A") of x,' -x%. Since F(A) is a topological group, there exist Ux',..., Un' such that If/ is a neighbourhood in T\X) of xt, i = 1,..., n and t/,' > t/ 'e" C U'. Put Uj = Uj' n X. Then l/f1 f/ E" C 7^(A"), and each {/, is a neighbourhood in A of x,. Hence, [/,' t/ e" C U' (1 F ix) = U. To complete the proof we have to show that every set of the form l/j1 c/ e", where Ut is a neighbourhood of x, in A, is a neighbourhood in F^(A)ofxf' xj". It clearly suffices to show that every set of the form Uxl f7 e" is a neighbourhood in FniX) of x\^ xen", where each Uj = B~xiVj) and Vt is an open neighbourhood in BX of /?(x,) such that Jf = Vjif Xj = xj and 1/ n f< = 0 if x,- ^ xy. Let 7 be the subset of F{BX) consisting of BX U ibx)~x U {e}. Clearly these three sets are disjoint and open in Y. Similarly define Z to be the subset of F(A") consisting of A U A"1 U {<?}. Consider the diagram Y"-> i Fni(SX) i Z"-J-^FH(X) where Y" and Z" are products of n copies of Y and of Z, respectively; i and j are the obvious maps; and <b and \p are given by (a,,...,an) > a, a2 a. Now ff1 X ^ a X X VnEn is an open subset of Y" and \piiax,...,a )) E Vx' VnE" if and only if (a,,..., an) E Vxx X X Vne". Since ^ is surjective and VXH X X VJ" is an open saturated subset of the compact space Y", this implies Vxx V*n is an open subset of FniBX). Sincey is continuous and J~\VX] Vne") = Ux] / E\ we have that Uxl U*" is an open neighbourhood in F,(A~) of Xj1 xn", which completes the proof for F\X). The proof for.4(a) is similar.
4 STONE-CECH COMPACTIFICATION 163 Remark. We now point out that Theorem A can be deduced from Theorem B. To see this let X be any Tychonoff space, F(X) its free topological group and $: X" -> F(X) given by <J>((x,,x2>...,x )) = xxx\ xl". Clearly each word in <E>(A"") has length precisely m = "_1. Since <1> is continuous and injective, we only have to show that $: X" > <&(Xn) is an open map. Let U be any neighbourhood of a point (xx.x ) in X". Then (/2 Ux X U2 X X Un where U, is a neighbourhood in X of x, for each ;'. Then 0((7) 2 $((7, X X U ) = UXU\ U2"~\ and by Theorem B this is a neighbourhood in Fm(X), and hence also in <Jf(X"), of <b((xx,...,x )). So <J>: X" * $(Xn) is an open map, as required. We will conclude the paper with a question which arises quite naturally from our investigations. Question. Let X be a Tychonoff space andy the canonical map from F(X) to F(BX). Under what conditions isj an embedding of (FX) in F(BX)1 We note that j is always continuous and injective. If X is compact theny is certainly an embedding since X = RX and F(X) = F(BX). If A' is a noncompact /cu-space theny is not an embedding of F(X) in F(RX). (A topological space X is said to be a /c^-space if X = U L i Xn, where each Xn is a compact Hausdorff space and X has the property that a subset A is closed in X if and only if A PlJC, is compact for each n. Note that the real line is an example of a &u-space. For further details, see [11].) If A" is a Z^-space then, by [6], F(A") is a /cu-space and, hence, by [3], it is a complete topological group. So if/: F(A") -» F(BX) were an embedding, then (i)y'(f(a')) would be the free topological group ony^a1), and (ii)j(f(x)) would be closed in F(BX). By the Proposition this would imply thaty'(a') is closed iny'(f(a")) and hence also in F(j3X). But this says that y (A) = R(X) is closed in ysa-which is false since R(X) is dense in RX.
