On the unitary group associated to an involution of an algebraically closed field

The topological group isomorphism between \(\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}\) and \(\mathbb{U}=\{z\in\mathbb{C};|z|=1\}\) is well known. The author tries to extend this result to a more general situation and he proves that for any algebraically closed field \(C\) of zero characteristic and any involution \(c\) of \(C\) the groups \(U(C,c)=\{z\in C;\, zc(z)=1\}\) and \(C^{<c>}/\mathbb{Z}\) are algebraically isomorphic, where \(C^{<c>}\) is the real closed subfield of \(C\) associated with \(c\). Then he exhibits an example of an involution \(c_0\) of \(\mathbb{C}\) not conjugated in the group \(\Aut\mathbb{C}\) to the complex conjugacy such that \(U(\mathbb{C},c_0)\) is isomorphic as a topological group to \(\mathbb{C}^{<c_0>}/\mathbb{Z}\).
