      Many of the topological concepts that will be defined later can be incorporated into methods of topologization in the same general way.

      The p-adic topologization also does not coincide with ours and is not stronger than it since any Un contains Pk which is an integer and which is relatively prime with p.

      The problem on the non-discrete Hausdorff topologization of rings was investigated in a series of works.
