Algebra in the Stone-Čech compactification: applications to topologies on groups

For every discrete group G, the Stone-Čech compactification βG of G has a natural structure of compact right topological semigroup. Assume that G is endowed with some left invariant topology I and let τ¯ be the set of all ultrafilters on G converging to the unit of G in I. Then τ¯ is a closed subsem...
