7 Linear Topologies 37<br />

Example 7.1. The Z-adic topology on a group A is defined by letting fnA j n 2 Ng beabaseof<br />

neighborhoods about 0. This is a u-topology, where u consists of all U A such that A=U is a<br />

bounded group. This topology is Hausdorff if and only if the first Ulm subgroup A 1 of A vanishes.<br />

A subgroup G of A is closed exactly if the first Ulm subgroup of A=G is 0.<br />

Example 7.2. In the p-adic topology (for a prime p) the subgroups p k A .k
