Hilbert's fifth problem asks informally what is the difference between Lie groups and topological groups. In 1950s this problem was solved by Andrew Gleason, Deane Montgomery, Leo Zippin and Hidehiko Yamabe concluding that every locally compact topological group is "essentially" a Lie group. In this talk we will show the complete proof of this theorem.
