Extract

In a recent book, L. H. Loomis has obtained the “Bohr compactification” of a topological group, in terms of almost periodic functions, by applying the representation theory of commutative B-algebras. It is simpler, and perhaps more natural, to consider this matter from the point of view of comparative topology; we can then obtain a more general result, in that the discussion is no longer restricted to the case of numerically valued (or even vector-valued) functions.
