Characterizing Lie groups by controlling their zero-dimensional subgroups

Characterizing Lie groups by controlling their zero-dimensional subgroups

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) omega-boundedness, (local) countable compactness, (local) precompactness, (local) minimality and sequential completeness. Below is a sample of our characterizations: (i) A topological group …
