There is a famous theorem about when $S^n$ has the structure of a Lie group. What about the complex projective space $mathbb CP^n$? For example, why $mathbb CP^2$ is not a Lie group (without using classification for low dimension compact Lie groups)?

  • It is an amusing observation that a polynomial $f$ over $Bbb C$ that does not split into linear factors gives a non-trivial finite field extension $F/Bbb C$, and $Bbb P(F) = Bbb CP^{dim F - 1}$ is then a commutative positive-dimensional Lie group, and so the proofs below give as a corollary the fundamental theorem of algebra.

$mathbb{CP}^n$ has Euler characteristic $n+1$, but a compact (positive-dimensional) Lie group has Euler characteristic $0$, for example by the Lefschetz fixed point theorem.



Alternatively, you can show in various ways that the rational cohomology ring of a compact Lie group must be an exterior algebra on a finite number of odd generators. But $H^{bullet}(mathbb{CP}^n, mathbb{Q})$ is concentrated in even degrees, so doesn't admit odd generators.

      A complex projective space (of positive dimension) never admits a Lie group structure. There are lots of ways to prove this. For instance, the rational cohomology ring of any Lie group is a graded Hopf algebra (the comultiplication coming from the group operation) but the cohomology ring $mathbb{Q}[x]/(x^n)$ of $mathbb{CP}^n$ does not admit a Hopf algebra structure. Indeed, for reasons of degree, $Delta(x)$ would have to be $xotimes 1+1otimes x$ but then $Delta(x^n)=Delta(x)^n=sum_{k=0}^n binom{n}{k} x^kotimes x^{n-k}$ would be nonzero (all the terms except $k=0$ and $k=n$ are nonzero), which is a contradiction.
