Lie groups simply isomorphic with no linear group
Let \( G \) be a non-abelian Lie group of matrices with a nilpotent infinitesimal ring. It is shown that the central of \( G \) always contains a discrete subgroup \( N \) such that the Lie group \( G / N \) is isomorphic (in the pure group-theoretic sense, hence topologically) with no linear group. Thus there exist Lie groups which do not admit, in the large, of faithful representations (continuous or otherwise) by matrices. In the case of continuous representations examples of such groups have also been given by \textit{É. Cartan} [Enseign. Math. 35, 177--200 (1936; Zbl 0015.20401)].
