On a Question of Ross and Stromberg
Journal of Lie Theory, Volume 25 (2015) no. 3, pp. 889-901
A topological group G is called an [AFG]-group if G contains an increasing sequence of finite subgroups having a dense union. In this paper it is proved that the identity component G0 of a locally compact [AFG]-group G is a pro-torus. This partially answers an old open question posed by K. A. Ross and K. Stromberg [Pacific J. Math. 20 (1967) 135--147]. Other results included in this paper give a necessary and sufficient condition for an almost connected Lie group to be an [AFG]-group.
