Abstract
A pointwise-elliptic subset of a topological group is one whose elements all generate relatively-compact subgroups. A connected locally compact group has a dense pointwise-elliptic subgroup if and only if it is an extension by a compact normal subgroup of a semidirect product with connected, simply-connected Lie , compact Lie , with the commutator subgroup acting on the Lie algebra with no trivial weights. This extends and recovers a result of Kabenyuk's, providing the analogous classification with assumed Lie connected, topologically perfect, with no non-trivial central elliptic elements.
