An open map out of a nonarchimedean group stays open, and an open surjection stays surjective #

For a continuous open homomorphism f : G → H from a first-countable nonarchimedean additive group to a uniform additive group, the induced map on separated completions is again open; if f is moreover surjective then so is that map. Openness is what the statements turn on: a continuous surjection alone gives only a dense image in the completion of H. Nothing is asked of H beyond being a uniform additive group.

Main results #

A continuous open homomorphism out of a first-countable nonarchimedean additive group induces an open map on the separated completions.

A continuous open surjection out of a first-countable nonarchimedean additive group induces a surjection on the separated completions.
