Such an exact sequence is said to be topologically split if $G$ is $N \times H$ as a topological space.</p> <p>Can someone give me an example of a topologically split short exact sequence of non-discrete connected topological groups. Of course I want an example which is not a split exact sequence.</p> <p>Edit: By a split exact sequence of topological groups, I mean an exact sequence of topological groups admitting a continuous section which is also a homomorphism. In other words, $G$ is a semi-direct product of $N$ by $H$.</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/62608/topologically-split-extensions-of-topological-groups/62643#62643 Comment by 2011-04-23T04:45:33Z 2011-04-23T04:45:33Z Yes Kevin. By non-discrete, I mean that none of the groups are allowed to be discrete. I have modified my original question by adding connectedness also. I apologize I should have written it while posting the question. http://mathoverflow.net/questions/62608/topologically-split-extensions-of-topological-groups/62609#62609 Comment by 2011-04-22T10:50:54Z 2011-04-22T10:50:54Z I would appreciate very much if someone could provide some reference(s) for more examples as mentioned by Yemen. http://mathoverflow.net/questions/62608/topologically-split-extensions-of-topological-groups Comment by 2011-04-22T10:48:56Z 2011-04-22T10:48:56Z Thanks to all for your interest in the question. Yes, by split exact I meant that the exact sequence has a continuous section which is also a homomorphism.
