Splitting a commutative topological group along a continuous section #
Let f : G →ₜ* H be a continuous homomorphism from a commutative topological group, and let
s : H →ₜ* G be a continuous homomorphic right inverse of f. Then G is isomorphic as a
topological group to the product of the kernel of f with H: an element x corresponds to its
kernel part x · s(f x)⁻¹ and its image f x, with inverse (k, t) ↦ k · s(t).
The kernel is given as any subgroup N with the same members as f.ker, so that a kernel with
its own name can be used directly.

The kernel part x - s(f x) of x lies in the kernel N of f.
Splitting along a continuous section. For a continuous homomorphism f : G →ₜ* H of a
commutative topological group with a continuous homomorphic right inverse s, the map
x ↦ (x · s(f x)⁻¹, f x) is an isomorphism of topological groups G ≃ₜ* N × H, where N is the
kernel of f.
