Significant Class

Continuous one-parameter semigroups {μt}t≥0 of probability measures on a locally compact group which are semistable with respect to some automorphism τ of the group, namely such that τ(μt) = μct for all t ≥ 0, for a fixed c ∈ (0, 1), have attracted considerable attention of various researchers in recent years (cf. [3], [5] and other references cited therein). A detailed study of semistable measures on (real) Lie groups is carried out in [5]. In this context it is of interest to study semistable measures on the class of p-adic Lie groups, which is another significant class of locally compact groups.

New Formulation

In this paper a number of questions about locally compact groups are studied. The structure of finite dimensional connected locally compact groups is investigated, and a fairly simple representation of such groups is obtained. Using this it is proved that finite dimensional arcwise connected locally compact groups are Lie groups, and that in general arcwise connected locally compact groups are locally connected. Semi-simple locally compact groups are then investigated, and it is shown that under suitable restrictions these satisfy many of the properties of semi-simple Lie groups. For example, a factor group of a semi-simple locally compact group is semi-simple. A result of Zassenhaus, Auslander and Wang is reformulated, and in this new formulation it is shown to be true under more general conditions. This fact is used in the study of (C)-groups in the sense of K. Iwasawa.

Compact Boundary

Freudenthal [5, 7] defined a compactification of a rim-compact space, that is, a space having a base of open sets with compact boundary. The additional points are called ends and Freudenthal showed that a connected locally compact non-compact group having a countable base has one or two ends. Later, Freudenthal [8], Zippin [16], and Iwasawa [11] showed that a connected locally compact group has two ends if and only if it is the direct product of a compact group and the reals.

Natural Way

Let H be a group of characters on an (algebraic) abelian group G. In a natural way, we may regard G as a group of characters on H. In this way, we obtain a duality between the two groups G and H. One may pose several problems about this duality. Firstly, one may ask whether there exists a group topology on G for which H is precisely the set of continuous characters. This question has been answered in the affirmative in [1]. We shall say that such a topology is compatible with the duality between G and H. Next, one may ask whether there exists a locally compact group topology on G which is compatible with a given duality and, if so, whether there is more than one such topology. It is this second question (previously considered by other authors, to whom we shall refer below) which we shall consider here.

Interesting Connection

Abstract We prove that, under certain restrictions, every locally compact group equipped with a nonzero, σ-finite, regular left Haar measure can be decomposed into two small sets, one of which is small in the sense of measure and the other is small in the sense of category, and all such decompositions originate from a generalised notion of a Lebesgue point. Incidentally, such class of topological groups for which this happens turns out to be metrisable. We also observe an interesting connection between Luzin sets in such spaces and decompositions of the above type.

AbstractLet $G$ be a locally compact group. In this paper, we show that if $G$ is a nondiscrete locally compact group, $p\in (0, 1)$ and $q\in (0, + \infty ] $, then $\{ (f, g)\in {L}^{p} (G)\times {L}^{q} (G): f\ast g\text{ is finite } \lambda \text{-a.e.} \} $ is a set of first category in ${L}^{p} (G)\times {L}^{q} (G)$. We also show that if $G$ is a nondiscrete locally compact group and $p, q, r\in [1, + \infty ] $ such that $1/ p+ 1/ q\gt 1+ 1/ r$, then $\{ (f, g)\in {L}^{p} (G)\times {L}^{q} (G): f\ast g\in {L}^{r} (G)\} $, is a set of first category in ${L}^{p} (G)\times {L}^{q} (G)$. Consequently, for $p, q\in [1+ \infty )$ and $r\in [1, + \infty ] $ with $1/ p+ 1/ q\gt 1+ 1/ r$, $G$ is discrete if and only if ${L}^{p} (G)\ast {L}^{q} (G)\subseteq {L}^{r} (G)$; this answers a question raised by Saeki [‘The ${L}^{p} $-conjecture and Young’s inequality’, Illinois J. Math. 34 (1990), 615–627].

The Real

If $G$ is an almost connected, nilpotent, locally compact group then the real rank of the $C^\ast$-algebra $C^\ast (G)$ is given by $\operatorname {RR} (C^\ast (G)) = \operatorname {rank} (G/[G,G]) = \operatorname {rank} (G_0/[G_0,G_0])$, where $G_0$ is the connected component of the identity element. In particular, for the continuous Heisenberg group $G_3$, $\operatorname {RR} C^\ast (G_3))=2$.

Isometric Actions

A locally compact group [Formula: see text] has property PL if every isometric [Formula: see text]-action either has bounded orbits or is (metrically) proper. For [Formula: see text], say that [Formula: see text] has property BPp if the same alternative holds for the smaller class of affine isometric actions on [Formula: see text]-spaces. We explore properties PL and BPp and prove that they are equivalent for some interesting classes of groups: abelian groups, amenable almost connected Lie groups, amenable linear algebraic groups over a local field of characteristic 0. The appendix provides new examples of groups with property PL, including nonlinear ones.

AbstractLet N be a compact normal subgroup of a locally compact group G. One of our goals here is to determine when and how a given compactification Y of G/N can be realized as a quotient of the analogous compactification (ψ, X) of G by Nψ = ψ(N) ⊂ X; this is achieved in a number of cases for which we can establish that μNψ ⊂ Nψ μ for all μ ∈ X A question arises naturally, ‘Can the latter containment be proper?’ With an example, we give a positive answer to this question.The group G is an extension of N by GN and can be identified algebraically with Nx GN when this product is given the Schreier multiplication, and for our further results we assume that we can also identify G topologically with N x GN. When GN is discrete and X is the compactification of G coming from the left uniformly continuous functions, we are able to show that X is an extension of N by (GN)(X≅N x (G/N)) even when G is not a semidirect product. Examples are given to illustrate the theory, and also to show its limitations.

Are the arc components in a locally compact group Borel subsets? An affirmative answer is provide for locally compact groups satisfying the First Axiom of Count-ability. For general locally compact groups the question is reduced to compact connected Abelian groups. In certain models of set theory the answer is negative.
