[Abstract-pdf]

Let $H$ and $M$ be closed normal subgroups of a pro-Lie group $G$ and assume that $H$ is connected and that $G/M$ is a Lie group. Then there is a closed normal subgroup $N$ of $G$ such that $N\subseteq M$, that $G/N$ is a Lie group, and that $HN$ is closed in $G$. As a consequence, $H/(H\cap N)\to HN/N$ is an isomorphism of Lie groups.

Keywords: Pro-Lie groups, closed subgroup theorem.
