Non-recurrent points of $F(a,b)=(b,ba)$ in a compact metric group $G$
Consider a compact metric group $G$ [A compact topological group $G$ where the topology is generated by an invariant metric]. I am particularly interested in the case where $G$ is the $n$-dimensional ...

Homomorphisms from circle to $GL(k,\mathbb{R})$ [duplicate]
Example 3 at the website tricki proves that every measurable homomorphism of groups from the circle to the non-zero complex numbers is continuous. Is there any analogous (true) statement for ...

Continuous vs $L^2$ homomorphisms from circle to non-zero complex numbers
Let $T:S^1\to C^\ast$ be a group theoretic homomorphism from the circle to the non-zero complex numbers.
Presumably it is true that if $T$ is $L^2$, then it is continuous. Is there a simple proof, or ...

Structure of extensions arising in Lie approximation of connected groups
My imperfect understanding is that, by the work of various authors (Gleason, Yamabe, Montgomery, Zippin ...), the following result is known:
Let $G$ be a connected, locally compact, Hausdorff group, ...

Conditions for a topological group to be a Lie group
In flipping through the Springer lecture notes on Serre's 1964 'Lie Algebras and Lie Groups' lectures at Harvard, I found this pair of suprising results (page 157):
Let $G$ be a locally compact group....
