\end{proposition}
% Obvious so proof omitted.
\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:tg-subgroup-closure}
Let $G$ be a topological group and $H \subset G$ be a subgroup, then $\ol H$ is also a subgroup.
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
By \autoref{proposition:closure-of-image}, for each $g \in G$, $g\ol H \subset \ol{gH} \subset \ol H$. Similarly, $\ol{H}^{-1} \subset \ol{H^{-1}} \subset \ol H$.
\end{proof}
\begin{definition}[Left and Right Translations]
\label{definition:tg-translations}
Let $G$ be a group, $g \in G$, and $Y$ be a set, then
\[
L_g: Y^G \to Y^G \quad (L_gf)(h) = f(g^{-1}h)
\]
is the \textbf{left translation map} by $g$, and
\[
R_g: Y^G \to Y^G \quad (R_gf)(h) = f(hg)
\]
is the \textbf{right translation map} by $g$.
\end{definition}
\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:tg-translation-action}
Let $G$ be a group, $Y$ be a set, and $x, y \in G$, then:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $L_{xy} = L_xL_y$.
\item $R_{xy} = R_xR_y$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
(1): For any $f \in Y^G$ and $z \in G$,
\[
L_{xy}f(z) = f((xy)^{-1}z) = f(y^{-1}x^{-1}z) = L_yf(x^{-1}z) = L_xL_yf(z)
\]
\end{proof}

\section{Coset Spaces and Factor Groups}
\label{section:tg-quotient}
\begin{definition}[Coset Space]
\label{definition:coset-space}
Let $G$ be a topological group and $H$ be a subgroup of $G$, then the set $\bracs{gH|g \in G}$ is the \textbf{coset space} of $G$ with respect to $H$, equipped with the quotient topology.
\end{definition}
\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:coset-space-gymnastics}
Let $G$ be a topological group and $H$ be a subgroup of $G$, then:
\begin{enumerate}
\item The canonical map $\pi: G \to G/H$ is open.
\item The coset space $G/H$ is Hausdorff if and only if $H$ is closed.
\item The coset space $G/H$ is discrete if and only if $H$ is open.
\end{enumerate}
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
(1): For each $U \subset G$, $\pi(U) = \pi(UH) = \pi^{-1}[\pi(U)]$.
(2): If $H$ is closed, then for any $g \in G \setminus H$, there exists $U \in \cn_G(1)$ such that $Ug \cap UH = \emptyset$, so $\pi(Ug) \cap \pi(UH) = \emptyset$.
On the other hand, if $G/H$ is Hausdorff, then $\ol H = \bigcup_{U \in \cn_G(1)}UH = H$, and $H$ is closed.
\end{proof}
