For Lie groups over a local field ${\\mathbb K}$ of positive characteristic, the analogous conclusion is known to be wrong. We show more: There exists a ${\\mathbb K}$-analytic Lie group $G$ and a non-discrete, compact subgroup $H$ such that, for every ${\\mathbb K}$-analytic manifold $M$, every ${\\mathbb K}$-analytic map $f\\colon M\\to G$ with $f(M)\\subseteq H$ is locally constant. In particular, the set $H$ does not admit a non-discrete ${\\mathbb K}$-analytic manifold structure which makes the inclusion of $H$ into $G$ a ${\\mathbb K}$-analytic map. We can achieve that, moreover, $H$ does not admit a ${\\mathbb K}$-analytic Lie group structure compatible with the topological group structure induced by $G$ on $H$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-29T19:03:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "22E20", "22E35", "22E50", "32P05" ], "keywords": [ "local field", "positive characteristic", "non-lie subgroups", "analytic map", "analytic lie group structure compatible" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
