On topological groups containing a Fréchet-Urysohn fan (Q1308189)

A topological space \(X\) is a \(\kappa_\omega\)-space provided \(X\) is the direct limit of a sequence of its compact subsets. Theorem: Let \(G\) be a topological group whose underlying topological space can be written as the direct limit of a sequence of closed metrizable subsets. Then \(G\) is either metrizable or it is homeomorphic to the product of a \(\kappa_\omega\)-space and a discrete space.
