Topological groups have representable internal actions
 
 
Description:  The actions of a group B on a group X correspond bijectively to the group homomorphisms from B to the group of automorphisms of X. This can be stated using representability of the functor 'actions on X' (see [2, 3]).

In this talk we show the corresponding result for topological groups: The continuous actions of a topological group B on a topological group X correspond bijectively to the continuous homomorphisms from B to the group of auto-homeomorphisms of X, equipped with a suitable topology. This result is based on previous joint work with F. Borceux and A. Montoli [1], where this result is proved for quasi-locally compact groups X, and a completely topological approach to the problem, obtained jointly with F. Cagliari [4].
