contents Let $G$ be a group and $σ, τ$ be topological group topologies on $G$. We say that $σ$ is a successor of $τ$ if $σ$ is strictly finer than $τ$ and there is not a group topology properly between them. In this note, we explore the existence of successor topologies in topological groups, particularly focusing on non-abelian connected locally compact groups. Our main contributions are twofold: for a connected locally compact group $(G, τ)$, we show that (1) if $(G, τ)$ is compact, then $τ$ has a precompact successor if and only if there exists a discontinuous homomorphism from $G$ into a simple connected compact group with dense image, and (2) if $G$ is solvable, then $τ$ has no successors. Our work relies on the previous characterization of locally compact group topologies on abelian groups processing successors.
