Let 9ll(X, G) be the set of all C' - mappings g: X~ G which have a compact support, and for all compact subset K of X, let 9ll~~.{X, G) = {g E 9ll(X, G)i[g] ~ A} One easily sees that 9ll(X, G) is a group for the pointwise product coming from the product in G, for \vhich the mapping £ : ~ E(x) = e, V x EX is the unit, and in \Vhich 9ll~~.{X, G) is an invariant subgroup.
