AbstractGiven a class${\cal C}$of subgroups of a topological groupG, we say that a subgroup$H \in {\cal C}$is auniversal${\cal C}$subgroupofGif every subgroup$K \in {\cal C}$is a continuous homomorphic preimage ofH. Such subgroups may be regarded as complete members of${\cal C}$with respect to a natural preorder on the set of subgroups ofG. We show that for any locally compact Polish groupG, the countable powerGωhas a universalKσsubgroup and a universal compactly generated subgroup. We prove a weaker version of this in the nonlocally compact case and provide an example showing that this result cannot readily be improved. Additionally, we show that many standard Banach spaces (viewed as additive topological groups) have universalKσand compactly generated subgroups. As an aside, we explore the relationship between the classes ofKσand compactly generated subgroups and give conditions under which the two coincide.

AbstractWe give some general results concerning continuity of measurable homomorphisms of topological groups. As a consequence we show that a Christensen measurable homomorphism of a Polish abelian group into a locally compact topological group is continuous. We also obtain similar results for the universally measurable homomorphisms and the homomorphisms that have the Baire property.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the relationships between some of the lattice-valued topological groups, and the lattice-valued uniformities that they inherit. In so doing, we look at the relationship between (a) crisp sets of lattice-valued neighborhood groups and lattice-valued neighborhood topological groups, and their uniformities; (b) lattice-valued topological groups of ordinary subsets and fuzzy neighborhood groups, and their uniformities. We also investigate the connection between stratified lattice-valued neighborhood topological group and its level spaces.

Let G be a locally compact topological group, with left-invariant Haar measure. If L1(G) is the usual class of complex functions which are integrable with respect to this measure, and μ is any bounded Borel measure on G, then the convolution-product μ⋆f, defined for any f in Li byis again in L1, and

Let ξ be a random measure on a locally compact second countable topological group, and letXbe a random element in a measurable space on which the group acts. In the compact case we give a natural definition of the concept that the origin is a typical location forXin the mass of ξ, and prove that when this holds, the same is true on sets placed uniformly at random around the origin. This new result motivates an extension of the concept of typicality to the locally compact case where it coincides with the concept of mass-stationarity. We describe recent developments in Palm theory where these ideas play a central role.

Let G be a locally compact Abelian group, and the set of bounded complex (regular countably-additive Borel) measures on G. It is well known that becomes a Banach space if the norm is defined bythe supremum being over all finite sets of disjoint Borel subsets of G.

An element in a topological group is called an $\mathrm{FC}^-$-element if its conjugacy class has compact closure. The $\mathrm{FC}^-$-elements form a normal subgroup. In this note it is shown that in a compactly generated totally disconnected locally compact group this normal subgroup is closed. This result answers a question of Ghahramani, Runde and Willis. The proof uses a result of Trofimov about automorphism groups of graphs and a graph theoretical interpretation of the condition that the group is compactly generated.

Wreath products of nondiscrete locally compact groups are usually not locally compact groups, nor even topological groups. As a substitute introduce a natural extension of the wreath product construction to the setting of locally compact groups. Applying this construction, we disprove a conjecture of Trofimov, constructing compactly generated locally compact groups of intermediate growth without any open compact normal subgroup.

For any locally compact topological group G let M(G) denote the topological semigroup of all probability (Borel) measures on G, furnished with the weak topology and with convolution as the multiplication. A Gauss semigroup on G is a homomorphism t→ μt of the strictly positive reals (under addition) into M(G) such that(i) no μt is a point mesaure,(ii) for each neighbourhood V of 1 in G we have

AbstractIf G is a locally compact group such thatG/G0contains a uniform compactly generated nilpotent subgroup, thenGhas a maximal compact normal subgroupKsuch thatG/Gis a Lie group. A topological groupGis an N-group if, for each neighbourhoodUof the identity and each compact setC⊂G, there is a neighbourhoodVof the identity such thatfor eachg∈G. Several results on N-groups are obtained and it is shown that a related weaker condition is equivalent to local finiteness for certain totally disconnected groups.
