Local compactness of adeles #

The adele ring of a number field is locally compact: its archimedean part is a finite product of local fields, while its finite part is a restricted product with compact open integer rings. It is also σ-compact, which is what the open mapping theorem for topological groups needs.

The infinite adele ring of a number field is σ-compact, since it is homeomorphic to the finite-dimensional mixed space.

The adele ring of a number field is σ-compact when its Dedekind domain is countable.
