Jul 5, 2023 at 16:35 comment added Yanko @YCor Do you know if any short exact sequence $0\rightarrow G_0\rightarrow G\rightarrow G/G_0\rightarrow 0$ split if we know that $G/G_0$ has some bounded torsion (say torsion $p$ so $G/G_0 = \prod \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$)? (Here $G$ compact and abelian)

Nov 4, 2018 at 13:47 comment added YCor I'll edit my post if I can answer your other question.

Nov 4, 2018 at 13:46 comment added TopGroups Oh I see, in this case I will accept this answer. But will leave the comments just to ensure nobody gets confused. I will try to use this example to construct what I need. Thanks
Nov 4, 2018 at 13:45 comment added YCor Your question was somewhat unclear: I answered the question suggested by the title, for which you provided a wrong example in your post.
Nov 4, 2018 at 13:40 comment added TopGroups Right I see now. You find a compact abelian group $K$ such that $K/K_0$ is a direct product, $\prod_{i\in I}\mathbb{Z}/p_i\mathbb{Z}$ and $K \not =K_0\times \prod_{i\in I}\mathbb{Z}/p_i\mathbb{Z}$. But this doesn't answer my question, is it? To answer my question I think you need to find a group $K$ and a direct product of finite groups $\Delta$ such that $K/\Delta$ is a torus but $K\not = K_0 \times K/K_0$.
Nov 4, 2018 at 13:27 comment added YCor I fixed a typo ($K$ is dual of $H$, not of $G$). Except in the first and last paragraph, i.e. when I construct $H$, I consider no topology on the groups.

Nov 4, 2018 at 13:20 comment added TopGroups When you say "isomorphic to $\mathbb{Q}^k$ or some vector space over $\mathbb{Q}$" you mean isomorphic as abstract groups am I right? Because the direct sum is not a closed subgroup. I'm also confused about the last paragraph, the dual group of $G$ is the direct sum, which is discrete, then how come it admits a connected group as a closed subgroup?
