TITLE: Topology induced by the completion of a topological group
QUESTION [15 upvotes]: Let $G$ be an abelian topological group and let $\hat{G}$ be its completion, i.e. the group containing the equivalence classes of all Cauchy sequences of $G$. What exactly is the topology of $\hat{G}$?

REPLY [5 votes]: formerly a remark 
For each neighborhood $N$ of zero in G, define a neighborhood $\hat{N}$ in $\hat{G}$ consisting of those equivalence classes for which all sequences in the class are eventually in $N$. This is a base (of neighborhoods of zero) for the new topology.
