Jun 15, 2019 at 14:36 comment added Jackson Morrow @YCor My apologies! There was a missing "every" in the question. I have corrected the statement. Thanks again!

clarified question
Jun 14, 2019 at 21:51 comment added YCor I don't understand the wording in Q3. Is "every" or "some" or "no" missing?

Jun 14, 2019 at 21:23 comment added Jackson Morrow @YCor thank you for your comments! The phrasing of Q2 was not very precise, but yes I was asking for generalizations of the results of Gleason, Montgomery-Zippin and Yamabe. I have edited the question a bit since I am interested in a certain type of Polish group having no small subgroups.
Jun 13, 2019 at 21:13 comment added YCor Q2: one short answer is "yes, there are." If more precisely you're asking whether there are generalizations of this result of Gleason, Montgomery-Zippin and Yamabe, to a broader setting, I don't know. One can ask whether for Polish groups, "no small subgroups" implies "locally contractible". I'd guess counterexamples are known, but this is speculation.
