Abstract: | Constructive groups were introduced by Sternfeld in 6] as a class of metrizable groupsG for which a suitable version of the Stone-Weierstrass theorem on the group ofG-valued functionsC(X, G) remains valid. As a way of exploring the existence of such Stone-Weierstrass-type theorems in this context we address the
question raised in 6] as to which groups are constructive and prove that a locally compact group with more than two elements
is constructive if and only if it is either totally disconnected or homeomorphic to some vector group ℝ
n
. It may therefore be concluded that the Stone-Weierstrass theorem can be extended to some noncommutative Lie groups — exactly
to those not containing any nontrivial compact subgroup.
