    tried to bring the entry Lie group a bit into shape: added plenty of sections and cross links to other nLab material. But there is still much that deserves to be done.

    There is the recent preprint

    Linus Kramer, The topology of a simple Lie group is essentially unique, arXiv:1009.5457

    Abstract: We study locally compact group topologies on simple Lie groups. We show that the Lie group topology on such a group SS is very rigid: every ’abstract’ isomorphism between SS and a locally compact and σ\sigma-compact group Γ\Gamma is automatically a homeomorphism, provided that SS is absolutely simple. If SS is complex, then non-continuous field automorphisms of the complex numbers have to be considered, but that is all.

    Not to put pressure on you, Urs. This is as much just a marker for me to put it in later.

    Notice that since n\mathbb{R}^n as Lie groups are not simple, this doesn’t apply to the example at Lie group regarding number if Lie group structures.

    Thanks!

    Tweaked the sentences under Definition, for better exposition. Much more could be cleaned up in this entry.

    Rewrite paragraph “Lie’s three theorems”:

    • Reconjugate tenses to respect those who will never do maths again
    • Use clearer grammar with better speakability
    • Deduplicate information available on Lie’s three theorems
    • Remove bluelink to the third theorem, which simply redirects to the page on all three
