Extract
Varieties of topological groups have been investigated in several papers ((2) and (10)-(13)). In this note we investigate the varieties generated by classical Lie groups. In particular we show results of which the following is indicative: The variety generated by the unitary group U(n) contains U(m) if and only if m ≦ n. En route we introduce the notion of a variety of topological Lie algebras which provides a convenient setting in which to answer our questions.
