The quotient maps define a continuous homomorphismIts kernel is , because is a neighborhood basis and is Hausdorff. Thus is injective. The standard compactness argument for inverse limits makes it surjective: a compatible family of cosets has the finite intersection property, and the corresponding closed cosets in compact have nonempty intersection. Finally, a continuous bijection from compact to the Hausdorff inverse limit is a homeomorphism. Henceas topological groups.
