Polish Groups Learning Seminar - Analysis & Logic

Speaker: Thomas Bray

"The Birkhoff-Kakutani Theorem"

I will introduce the basic concepts pertaining to topological groups. After this, I will show one way of proving the Birkhoff-Kakutani theorem. Time permitting, I will demonstrate how one can use Birkhoff-Kakutani to build a complete metric on a Polish group.
