Is every topological (resp. Lie-) group the isometrygroup of a metric space (resp. Riemannian manifold)?
The isometry group of a metric space is a topological group (with the compact open topology). The isometry group of a Riemann Manifold is a Liegroup. (Thm. of Steenrod-Myers)
So, is every topological ...
