$ABCD$ is a circumscribed and inscribed quadrilateral. $O$ is the circumcenter of the quadrilateral. $E,F$ and $S$ are the intersections of $AB,CD$ , $AD,BC$ and $AC,BD$ respectively. $E'$ and $F'$ are points on $AD$ and $AB$ such that $A\hat{E}E'=E'\hat{E}D$ and $A\hat{F}F'=F'\hat{F}B$. $X$ and $Y$ are points on $OE'$ and $OF'$ such that $\frac{XA}{XD}=\frac{EA}{ED}$ and $\frac{YA}{YB}=\frac{FA}{FB}$. $M$ is the midpoint of arc $BD$ of $(O)$ which contains $A$. Prove that the circumcircles of triangles $OXY$ and $OAM$ are coaxal with the circle with diameter $OS$.

Let $ A$ and $ B$ be two Abelian groups, and define the sum of two homomorphisms $ \eta$ and $ \chi$ from $ A$ to $ B$ by \[ a( \eta\plus{}\chi)\equal{}a\eta\plus{}a\chi \;\textrm{for all}\ \;a \in A\ .\] With this addition, the set of homomorphisms from $ A$ to $ B$ forms an Abelian group $ H$. Suppose now that $ A$ is a $ p$-group ( $ p$ a prime number). Prove that in this case $ H$ becomes a topological group under the topology defined by taking the subgroups $ p^kH \;(k\equal{}1,2,...)$ as a neighborhood base of $ 0$. Prove that $ H$ is complete in this topology and that every connected component of $ H$ consists of a single element. When is $ H$ compact in this topology? [L. Fuchs]
