Dec 31, 2010 at 18:16 comment added Anton Geraschenko gurs says (moved from an answer): Can someone give an example in the setting of compact topological groups or in the setting of finite dimensional Banach spaces.
Dec 24, 2010 at 12:11 comment added Theo Buehler @Johannes: While this is nice, gurs wants a non-split extension.
Dec 24, 2010 at 10:06 comment added Johannes Ebert Take the extension $1 \to \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R} \to 0$ and the section $x \mapsto (x,x^3)$.

Dec 24, 2010 at 9:13 comment added gurs Let me write my question again. Does there exist an extension of topological groups $1 \to N \to E \to G \to 1$ admitting a section $s:G \to E$ which is continuous (or only continous in a neighbourhood of identity) and satisfy the property that $s(x^{-1})=s(x)^{-1}$ for all $x \in G$ but is not a homomorphism.
Dec 24, 2010 at 9:04 comment added gurs Thanks. But I want a non-trivial extension.
Dec 24, 2010 at 8:36 comment added David Roberts Yes: a semi-direct product. Or do you want some sort of non-triviality condition?
