Abstract:
Our main interest is the existence of maximal compact normal subgroups of locally compact topological groups and its relation to compactly generated subgroups. If a topological group $G$ has a compact normal subgroup $K$ such that $G/K$ is a Lie group and every closed subgroup of $G$ is compactly generated, we call $G$ an $\mathcal {H}(c)$-group. If $G$ has a maximal compact normal subgroup $K$ such that $G/K$ is a Lie group, we call $G$ an $\mathcal {H}$-group. If $G$ is an $\mathcal {H}(c)$-group, then $G$ is a hereditary $\mathcal {H}$-group in the sense that every closed subgroup is an $\mathcal {H}$-group. If $H$ is a closed normal subgroup of $G$ and both $H,G/H$ are $\mathcal {H}(c)$-groups, then $G$ is an $\mathcal {H}(c)$-group. A corollary of this is that a compactly generated solvable group whose characteristic open subgroups are compactly generated is an $\mathcal {H}$-group. If $G$ has a compactly generated closed normal subgroup $F$ such that both $F/{F_0}G/F$ are $\mathcal {H}$-groups, then $G$ is an $\mathcal {H}$-group.References
