On the Topology of J-Groups
Journal of Lie theory, Tome 33 (2023) no. 1, pp. 169-194
A topological J-group is a topological group which contains an element $w$ and admits a continuous self-map $f$ such that $f(x\cdot w)=f(x)\cdot x$ holds for all $x$. We determine for many important examples of topological groups if they are topological J-groups or not. Besides other results, we show that the underlying topological space of a pathwise connected topological J-group is weakly contractible which is a strong and unexpected obstruction that depends only on the homotopy type of the underlying space.
