Abstract
Let G be a topological group, and let C(G) denote the algebra of continuous, complex valued functions on G. We find the solutions f,g,h∈C(G) of the Levi-Civita equation (Formula presented.) which is an extension of the sine addition law. Representations of G on C2 play an important role. As a corollary we get the solutions f,g∈C(G) of the sine subtraction law f(xy∗)=f(x)g(y)-g(x)f(y), x,y∈G, in which x↦x∗ is a continuous involution, meaning that (xy)∗=y∗x∗ and x∗∗=x for all x,y∈G.
