A theorem of L\"utkebohmert states that a rigid group homomorphism from the formal multiplicative group to a smooth commutative rigid group $G$, with relatively compact image, can be extended to a homomorphism from the full rigid multiplicative group to $G$. In this paper, we prove a relative version of this theorem, with any rigid space as a base. This theorem is a step in the uniformisation of proper smooth rigid groups.PDF: Extension of relative rigid homomorphisms from the formal multiplicative group.pdf
