A proper short exact sequence 0→H →G→K→0 (*) in the category of locally compact abelian groups is said to be topologically pure if the induced sequence 0→nH→nG→nK→0 is proper short exact for all positive integers n. Some characterizations of topologically pure sequences in terms of direct decompositions, pure extensions and tensor products are established. A simple proof is given for a theorem on pure subgroups by Hartman and Hulanickl. Using topologically pure extensions, we characterize those splitting locally compact abelian groups whose torsion part is a direct sum of a compact …
