Review text

Let \(G\) be a connected locally compact (Hausdorff) topological group. Let \(\text{Aut }G\) denote the group of all bi-continuous automorphisms of \(G\) topologized by the Birkhoff topology [cf. \textit{G. Hochschild}, The structure of Lie groups. San Francisco etc.: Holden-Day (1965; Zbl 0131.02702)]. Let \(\Aut_0 G\) be the identity component of \(\Aut G\). The main result of this paper is the following: Theorem. Let \(G\) be a connected locally compact group. Then \(\Aut G\) is locally compact if and only if one of the following two conditions holds: (1) The dimension of the center \(Z(G)\) of \(G\) is finite. (2) The closure of the commutator subgroup of \(G\) is uniform in \(G\) and \(\Aut G\) is a Baire space, i.e. it satisfies the Baire Category Theorem. The proof of this theorem is proceeded by a sequence of lemmas, some of them have their own interest. A necessary and sufficient condition for \(\Aut G\) to be locally compact is also given at the end of the paper.
