contents The (reduced) characteristic group of a locally conformally product manifold is obtained by restricting the action of its fundamental group to the non-flat factor of the universal cover, and taking the connected component of the identity in the closure of this restriction. It was shown by Kourganoff that this group is abelian, but it is currently unknown whether it is simply connected, or might have compact (toric) factors. This question is crucial for a better understanding of LCP structure, as shown recently by B. Flamencourt. In this paper we consider Lie LCP structures (which are defined on quotients of simply connected Lie groups by lattices) and show that the reduced characteristic group of any Lie LCP manifold $Γ\backslash G$ is contained in the radical of $G$, so in particular is simply connected.
