The Dvoretzky-Hanani Theorem for the Group "ax + b"

Let G be the group "ax + b" of affine transformations of the line and let U be a neighbourhood of 1 in G. It is proved that there is another neighborhood V of 1 such that to each finite sequence g1,...,gn V there corresponds a sequence of signs 1,...,n = ±1 with U for k = 1,...,n. This implies that G satisfies the following analogue of the Dvoretzky-Hanani theorem: to each sequence converging to 1 in G there corresponds a sequence of signs k = ±1 such that the infinite product is convergent.
