Hilbert's Fifth Problem for Local Groups
Abstract: Hilbert's Fifth Problem for Local Groups roughly asks whether every locally euclidean local group
is locally isomorphic to a Lie group. After giving a brief history, I will present a positive solution to
the question. The proof uses nonstandard methods and the relevant notions from nonstandard analysis will be
explained.
