Abstract

If G is a locally compact group such that G/G0 contains a uniform compactly generated nilpotent subgroup, then G has a maximal compact normal subgroup K such that G/G is a Lie group. A topological group G is an N-group if, for each neighbourhood U of the identity and each compact set C ⊂G, there is a neighbourhood V of the identity such that for each g∈G. Several results on N-groups are obtained and it is shown that a related weaker condition is equivalent to local finiteness for certain totally disconnected groups.
