The character group of a topological group that is an abelian group consists of its continuous group homomorphisms to the circle group, with pointwise multiplication. For a finite group, all characters are continuous and their values are roots of unity, so this agrees with the character group of a finite abelian group.
A character group typically refers to a collection or set of characters that share certain characteristics or properties, often used in various contexts including literature, psychology, gaming, and social dynamics.
