Compact Elements in Connected Lie Groups
Journal of Lie theory, Tome 27 (2017) no. 2, pp. 569-578
We prove that the set of compact elements in the group extension of the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group by SO(2) (the so-called oscillator group) is not dense. We also give a new proof of the following criterion: The set of compact elements of a connected Lie group G is dense in G if and only if every Cartan subgroup of G is compact.
