Abstract

Are the arc components in a locally compact group Borel subsets? An affirmative answer is provide for locally compact groups satisfying the First Axiom of Count-ability. For general locally compact groups the question is reduced to compact connected Abelian groups. In certain models of set theory the answer is negative.
