Feb 5, 2013 at 18:06 comment added Tom LaGatta Excellent, I just looked at your other question. Alain Varette provides a nice reference to Adam Kleppner's paper. A measurable homomorphism of locally compact groups is continuous. Since Lie groups are locally compact, this proves it. Direct link to Alain Varette's answer: mathoverflow.net/questions/64116/…
Feb 5, 2013 at 18:04 comment added Tom LaGatta Thanks @Marc Palm. I meant homomorphism but I foolishly neglected to say it. Why is the answer yes in general? Intuitively, the Borel $\sigma$-algebra contains all the topological information of the space, hence the differential information since $G$ is a Lie group. However, this is just heuristic speculation and I don't know a good argument which makes this fact apparent.
