Basic statements
closed subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are equivalently compact subspaces
open subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are locally compact
compact spaces equivalently have converging subnet of every net
continuous metric space valued function on compact metric space is uniformly continuous
paracompact Hausdorff spaces equivalently admit subordinate partitions of unity
injective proper maps to locally compact spaces are equivalently the closed embeddings

A topological ring is a ring internal to Top, a ring object in Top:
a topological space equipped with the structure of a ring on its underlying set, such that addition and multiplication are continuous functions.
Remarks:
The structure of a topological ring makes a uniform space.
It is automatic that negation in a topological unital ring is continuous, since it is the operation of multiplication with , and multiplication is continuous in each argument. Hence for a topological ring, then is a topological group.
A topological field is a topological ring whose underlying ring is in fact a field and such that reciprocation is continuous. This latter condition is the same as demanding that the subspace topology on induced by the embedding coincide with the subspace topology induced by the embedding . More at topological field.
In a topological ring, the closure of is an ideal. It follows that for a topological field , either is a closed point (so that is and therefore completely regular Hausdorff, by standard arguments in the theory of uniform spaces), or is a codiscrete space.
A topological algebra over a topological ring is a topological ring together with a topological ring map that makes an -algebra at the underlying set level (a topological associative algebra).
The real numbers form a topological field.
Any pseudocompact ring such as the completed group ring of a profinite group is a topological ring.
For any prime , the ring of p-adic integers is a topological ring.
A Banach algebra is in particular a topological algebra, hence a topological ring. Hence so is a C-star-algebra.
