Abstract

Using a strong version of the Curve Selection Lemma for real semianalytic sets, we prove that for an arbitrary connected Lie group GG, each connected component of the set En(G)E_n(G) of all elements of order nn in GG is a conjugacy class in GG. In particular, all conjugacy classes of finite order in GG are closed. Some properties of connected components of En(G)E_n(G) are also given.
