We prove that a topological group G is (locally) homeomorphic to an LF-space if G = n∈ω Gn for some increasing sequence of subgroups (Gn)n∈ω such that (1) for any neighborhoods Un ⊂ Gn, n ∈ ω, of the neutral element e ∈ Gn ⊂ G, the set(2) each group Gn is (locally) homeomorphic to a Hilbert space;(3) for every n ∈ N the quotient map Gn → Gn/G n−1 is a locally trivial bundle; (4) for infinitely many numbers n ∈ N each Z-point in the quotient space Gn/G n−1 = {xG n−1 : x ∈ Gn} is a strong Z-point.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 57N20; 46A13; 22A05.
