topological G-space (Definition)

Essential data

Let us recall the definition of a topological group; this is a group $(G, . ,e)$ together with a topology on $G$ such that $(x,y) \mapsto xy^{-1}$ is continuous, i.e., from $G \times G$ into $G$ . Note also that $G \times G$ is regarded as a topological space defined by the product topology.
Definition 0.1   Consider $G$ to be a topological group with the above notations, and also let $X$ be a topological space, such that an action $a$ of $G$ on $X$ is continuous if $a : G \times X \to X$ is continuous; with these conditions, $X$ is defined to be a topological G-space.
