Abstract: The set $mathcalS(G)$ of compact subgroups of a Hausdorff topological group $G$ can be equipped with the Vietoris topology. A compact subgroup $KinmathcalS(G)$ is isolated up to conjugacy if there is a neighborhood $mathcalUsubseteqmathcalS(G)$ of $K$ such that every $LinmathcalU$ is conjugate to $K$. In this paper, we characterize compact subgroups of a Lie group that are isolated up to conjugacy. Our characterization depends only on the intrinsic structure of $K$, the ambient Lie group $G$ and the embedding of $K$ into $G$ are irrelevant. In addition, we prove that any continuous homomorphism from a compact group $G$ onto a compact Lie group $H$ induces a continuous open map from $mathcalS(G)$ onto $mathcalS(H)$.
