Topological monoid

Summary

A topological monoid is a monoid with a topology in which the multiplication is jointly continuous. It is a topological semigroup that has an identity element. Topological monoids arise in algebraic topology, for example as Moore loop spaces, where loops of varying length are concatenated. They also arise in the study of operator semigroups.
