Abstract
For any group G, x ∈ G and n ∈ ℕ (the natural numbers), leti.e. the set of all nth roots of x in G. If G is a Hausdorff topological group, then Rn(x, G) is a closed set in G, but may otherwise be quite complicated. However, as we have observed in (4), if G is a compact Lie group, then Rn(x, G) always has a finite number of connected components, and this result has led us to wonder about the connectedness properties of Rn(x, G) for other Lie groups G. Here is the result.
