The Hilbert–Smith conjecture in every dimension
Every locally compact second-countable Hausdorff group acting faithfully and jointly continuously on a connected finite-dimensional topological manifold is a Lie group. This proves the Hilbert–Smith conjecture in all finite dimensions, for Hausdorff second-countable manifolds without boundary.

We prove the Hilbert–Smith conjecture in every finite dimension: every locally compact second-countable Hausdorff group acting faithfully and jointly continuously on a connected Hausdorff second-countable finite-dimensional topological manifold without boundary is a Lie group.
