Abstract
In this note we present an attempt at a topological study of a part of the theory of discontinuous groups (see for instance [1]). The idea is to study it as an effective transformation group G on a compact metric space X, where any element of G is a homeomorphism of type 2 (see § 1.1) or the identity of X. Some results are given in § 2, which are more or less like that of discontinuous groups. However the author does not know how to characterize the discontinuity theorem topologically (see for instance [1]). In § 1 we study a special case; and results will be applied in § 2. In § 3 a theorem related to covering transformation groups is proved.
