   Format: MarkdownItexIt says the "quotient topological space $G/G_0$" and it means the quotient topological group. I know, you wanted to say the underlying space of the quotient topological group, but if one talks about quotient topological space then this means that only $G_0$ is contracted to a point, while the rest stays the same. In other words, the notation $G/G_0$ in topological category is much bigger than the underlying space of $G/G_0$ in the category of topological groups. The quotient in the category of topological spaces is different than the underlying topological space of a quotient in the category of topological groups. I corrected the statement. But a real question is if the entry assumes Hausdorfness. I wonder how one can have compact quotient of topological groups by a connected component if not finite, as if something is an accumulation point, by the homogeneity, everything would be an accumulation point. Example ?

   Format: MarkdownItexZoran, as an example, consider the $p$-adic integers under addition. This is totally disconnected, so the connected component $G_0$ is just the identity element. Therefore $G/G_0 \cong G$, and $G$ is compact Hausdorff, so this is an example.

   Format: MarkdownItexThis example is mentioned already at _[[maximal compact subgroup]]_. But it would be nice if somebody found the time to add it also to _[[almost connected topological group]]_, highlighting the point just discussed. (I guess I could do it later. But I won't protest if somebody does it before me ;-)
