Consider a group word w in n letters. For a compact group G, w induces a map G^n rightarrow G$ and thus a pushforward measure {mu}_w on G from the Haar measure on G^n. We associate to each word w a 2-dimensional cell complex X(w) and prove in Theorem 2.5 that {mu}_w is determined by the topology of X(w). The proof makes use of non-abelian cohomology and Nielsens classification of automorphisms of free groups [Nie24]. Focusing on the case when X(w) is a surface, we rediscover representation-theoretic formulas for {mu}_w that were derived by Witten in the context of quantum gauge theory [Wit91]. These formulas generalize a result of ErdH{o}s and Turan on the probability that two random elements of a finite group commute [ET68]. As another corollary, we give an elementary proof that the dimension of an irreducible complex representation of a finite group divides the order of the group; the only ingredients are Schurs lemma, basic counting, and a divisibility argument.

We prove continuity results for abstract epimorphisms of locally compact groups onto finitely generated groups.
Suppose that $X=G/K$ is the quotient of a locally compact group by a closed subgroup. If $X$ is locally contractible and connected, we prove that $X$ is a manifold. If the $G$-action is faithful, then $G$ is a Lie group.
We are concerned with questions of the following type. Suppose that $G$ and $K$ are topological groups belonging to a certain class $cal K$ of spaces, and suppose that $phi:K to G$ is an abstract (i.e. not necessarily continuous) surjective group homomorphism. Under what conditions on the group $G$ and the kernel is the homomorphism $phi$ automatically continuous and open? Questions of this type have a long history and were studied in particular for the case that $G$ and $K$ are Lie groups, compact groups, or Polish groups. We develop an axiomatic approach, which allows us to resolve the question uniformly for different classes of topological groups. In this way we are able to extend the classical results about automatic continuity to a much more general setting.
Let $G$, $R$ and $A$ be topological groups. Suppose that $G$ and $R$ act continuously on $A$, and $G$ acts continuously on $R$. In this paper, we define a partially crossed topological $G-R$-bimodule $(A,mu)$, where $mu:Arightarrow R$ is a continuous homomorphism. Let $Der_{c}(G,(A,mu))$ be the set of all $(alpha,r)$ such that $alpha:Grightarrow A$ is a continuous crossed homomorphism and $mualpha(g)=r^{g}r^{-1}$. We introduce a topology on $Der_{c}(G,(A,mu))$. We show that $Der_{c}(G,(A,mu))$ is a topological group, wherever $G$ and $R$ are locally compact. We define the first cohomology, $H^{1}(G,(A,mu))$, of $G$ with coefficients in $(A,mu)$ as a quotient space of $Der_{c}(G,(A,mu))$. Also, we state conditions under which $H^{1}(G,(A,mu))$ is a topological group. Finally, we show that under what conditions $H^{1}(G,(A,mu))$ is one of the following: $k$-space, discrete, locally compact and compact.
Given a $T_0$ paratopological group $G$ and a class $mathcal C$ of continuous homomorphisms of paratopological groups, we define the $mathcal C$-$semicompletion$ $mathcal C[G)$ and $mathcal C$-$completion$ $mathcal C[G]$ of the group $G$ that contain $G$ as a dense subgroup, satisfy the $T_0$-separation axiom and have certain universality properties. For special classes $mathcal C$, we present some necessary and sufficient conditions on $G$ in order that the (semi)completions $mathcal C[G)$ and $mathcal C[G]$ be Hausdorff. Also, we give an example of a Hausdorff paratopological abelian group $G$ whose $mathcal C$-semicompletion $mathcal C[G)$ fails to be a $T_1$-space, where $mathcal C$ is the class of continuous homomorphisms of sequentially compact topological groups to paratopological groups. In particular, the group $G$ contains an $omega$-bounded sequentially compact subgroup $H$ such that $H$ is a topological group but its closure in $G$ fails to be a subgroup.
