TOTALLY DISCONNECTED GROUPS, P-ADIC GROUPS AND THE HILBERT-SMITH CONJECTURE

  • Published : 1997.07.01

Abstract

The following statement is known as the generalized Hilbert-Smith conjecture : If G is a compact group and acts effectively on a manifold, then G is a Lie group. In this paper we prove that the generalized Hilbert-Smith conjecture is equivalent to the following : A known, but has never been published before.
