Compact groups as algebraic groups
Aclassic result of [Tannaka:1939], in the formulation of [Chevalley:1946], asserts that every compact subgroup of GLn(C) is the group of real points on an algebraic group defined over R. Chevalley introduced a more algebraic approach to the topic, but his underlying argument is not so different from Tannaka’s. The literature since then has followed one of two threads. One is algebraic (as in Ch...
متن کاملAlgebraically compact functors
In a previous paper, we investigated the relation between the initial algebra and terminal coalgebra for an endofunctor on the category of sets. In this one we study conditions on a functor to be algebraically compact, which means that the canonical comparison morphism between those objects is an isomorphism. Introduction Suppose C is a category and T : C −→ C is a functor. In both [Barr, 1991]...
متن کاملOn Approximation of Locally Compact Groups by Finite Algebraic Systems
We discuss the approximability of locally compact groups by finite semigroups and finite quasigroups (latin squares). We show that if a locally compact group G is approximable by finite semigroups, then it is approximable by finite groups, and thus many important groups are not approximable by finite semigroups. This result implies, in particular, the impossibility to simulate the field of real...
متن کاملALGEBRAIC Zd-ACTIONS ON ZERO-DIMENSIONAL COMPACT ABELIAN GROUPS
In 1967 Furstenberg proved that every infinite closed subset of T = R/Z simultaneously invariant under multiplication by 2 and by 3 is equal to T (cf. [8]), which motivated the still unresolved question whether this scarcity of invariant sets is paralleled by a corresponding scarcity of invariant probability measures: is Lebesgue measure the only nonatomic probability measure on T which is inva...
متن کاملAlgebraically recurrent random walks on groups
Initial steps are presented towards understanding which finitely generated groups are almost surely generated as a semigroup by the path of a random walk on the group.
