Introduction to topological groups. (English) Zbl 0955.54013

Summary: We present a concise survey of old and new results concerning cardinal functions on topological groups and then establish various relations between the classes of \(\sigma\)-compact, \(\aleph_0\)-bounded and \(R\)-factorizable topological groups. The article is addressed to the general topology minded reader with no (or little) experience in topological algebra.
