Review text

In this reviewing article, Romaguera and Sanchis obtain a series of interesting results about cofinal completeness in topological and paratopological groups. They prove that a topological group is locally compact iff it has pointwise countable type and its left group uniformity is cofinally complete. Let us recall that a uniform space \((X,\mathcal{V})\) has \textit{property \((\mathcal{U})\)} if every continuous real-valued function on \(X\) is uniformly continuous with respect to \(\mathcal{V}\). Romaguera and Sanchis prove that if a topological group \(G\) is of pointwise countable type and the left group uniformity of \(G\) has property \((\mathcal{U})\), then \(G\) is either discrete or compact. This theorem generalizes classical results by \textit{J. M. Kister} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 13, 37-40 (1962; Zbl 0103.01604)] and \textit{W. W. Comfort} and \textit{K. A. Ross} [Pac. J. Math. 16, 483-496 (1966; Zbl 0214.28502)]. The authors also study the cofinal completeness of the free topological groups and of the Hausdorff-Bourbaki uniformity of topological groups.
