We describe finite-dimensional smooth Lie groups over local fields of positive characteristic which do not admit an analytic Lie group structure compatible with the given topological group structure, and C^n-Lie groups without a compatible…

Let G be a group definable in an o-minimal structure M. We prove that the union of the Cartan subgroups of G is a dense subset of G. When M is an expansion of a real closed field we give a characterization of Cartan subgroups of G via their…

Given any real-analytic CR manifold M, we provide general conditions on M guaranteeing that the group of all its global real-analytic CR automorphisms is a Lie group (in an appropriate topology). Our conditions are in particular satisfied…

Let $G$ be a connected real Lie group with associated Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, and let ${\rm Aut}(G)$ be the group of (Lie) automorphisms of $G$. It is noted here that, given a super-solvable subgroup $\Gamma\subset {\rm Aut}(G)$ of…

A topological group is called a pro-Lie group if it is isomorphic to a closed subgroup of a product of finite-dimensional real Lie groups. This class of groups is closed under the formation of arbitrary products and closed subgroups and…

Let G be a Lie group over a local field of positive characteristic which admits a contractive automorphism f (i.e., the forward iterates f^n(x) of each group element x converge to the neutral element 1). We show that then G is a torsion…

A pro-Lie group is a projective limit of a family of finite-dimensional Lie groups. In this note we show that a pro-Lie group $G$ is a Lie group in the sense that its topology is compatible with a smooth manifold structure for which the…

There are strong analogies between groups definable in o-minimal structures and real Lie groups. Nevertheless, unlike the real case, not every definable group has maximal definably compact subgroups. We study definable groups G which are…

We examine subgroups of locally compact groups that are continuous homomorphic images of connected Lie groups and we give a criterion for being such an image. We also provide a new characterisation of Lie groups and a characterisation of…

We study Lie group structures on groups of the form C^\infty(M,K)}, where M is a non-compact smooth manifold and K is a, possibly infinite-dimensional, Lie group. First we prove that there is at most one Lie group structure with Lie algebra…

We provide characterizations of Lie groups as compact-like groups in which all closed zero-dimensional metric (compact) subgroups are discrete. The "compact-like" properties we consider include (local) compactness, (local)…

We construct an infinite dimensional real analytic manifold structure for the space of real analytic mappings from a compact manifold to a locally convex manifold. Here a map is real analytic if it extends to a holomorphic map on some…

In this paper we show that topological subgroupoids of Lie groupoids, under special circumstances are Lie subgroupoids. Giving an example, we indicate that having the same topological dimension is a necessary condition for topological…

The Hilbert-Smith Conjecture states that if G is a locally compact group which acts effectively on a connected manifold as a topological transformation group, then G is a Lie group. A rather straightforward proof of this conjecture is…

Given a Lie group $G$ with finitely many components and a compact Lie group A which acts on $G$ by automorphisms, we prove that there always exists an A-invariant maximal compact subgroup K of G, and that for every such K, the natural map…

We study locally compact group topologies on semisimple Lie groups. We show that the Lie group topology on such a group $S$ is very rigid: every 'abstract' isomorphism between $S$ and a locally compact and $\sigma$-compact group $\Gamma$ is…

Early this century K. H. Hofmann and S. A. Morris introduced the class of pro-Lie groups which consists of projective limits of finite-dimensional Lie groups and proved that it contains all compact groups, all locally compact abelian…

Suppose that $X=G/K$ is the quotient of a locally compact group by a closed subgroup. If $X$ is locally contractible and connected, we prove that $X$ is a manifold. If the $G$-action is faithful, then $G$ is a Lie group.

Let \(G\) be a non-discrete, locally compact group with Haar measure \(m\). We prove that there exists a compact set \(K \subset G\) with \(m(K)=0\) such that \(KK^{-1}\) contains a neighborhood of the identity. Moreover, such a set may be…

First we give a new proof of Goto's theorem for Lie algebras of compact semisimple Lie groups using Coxeter transformations. Namely, every $x$ in $L = \operatorname{Lie}(G)$ can be written as $x =[a, b]$ for some $a$, $b$ in $L$. By using…
