Abstract
The notion of a semitransitive binary action of a group 𝐺 on a topological space is introduced. A duality theorem is proved, establishing a bijective correspondence between semitransitive
distributive binary 𝐺-spaces and topological fields whose multiplicative group is isomorphic to 𝐺. This result yields an equivalence between the category of semitransitive distributive binary 𝐺-spaces and the category of topological fields with multiplicative group 𝐺.
As applications of the duality theorem, two important results are established. It is shown that a finite group can act semitransitively, distributively, and binarily only on finite sets whose cardinality is a power of a prime number. A complete characterization of those groups that can appear as multiplicative groups of topological fields is also obtained.
