A Polish group without Lie sums (Q1032523)

A topological group complete with respect to some metric defining its topology and with a countable dense subset is called a Polish group. The authors construct a Polish group with an invariant metric in which Lie sums and Lie brackets do not exist. The construction of the group and the proof of the main theorem use some facts of combinatorial nature about the free group with two generators equipped with a Graev metric.
