An abelian topological group can be considered simply as an abelian group or as a topological space. The question considered in this article is whether the topological group structure is determined by these weaker structures. Denote homeomorphism, isomorphism, and homeomorphic isomorphism by ≈, ≅ , and =, respectively. The principal results are these.

Theorem 1. If G1andG2are locally compact and connected, then G1≈ G2implies G1= G2.
