Dynamics of flat actions on totally disconnected, locally compact groups

چکیده
Let G be a totally disconnected, locally compact group and let H be a virtually flat (for example, polycyclic) group of automorphisms of G. We study the structure of, and relationships between, various subgroups of G defined by the dynamics of H. In particular, we consider the following four subgroups: the intersection of all tidy subgroups for H on G (in the case that H is flat); the intersection of all H-invariant open subgroups of G; the smallest closed H-invariant subgroup D such that no H-orbit on G/D accumulates at the trivial coset; and the group generated by the closures of contraction groups of elements of H on G.

On the Structure of Certain Locally Compact Topological Groups
A locally compact topological group G is called an (H) group if G has a maximal compact normal subgroup with Lie factor. In this note, we study the problem when a locally compact group is an (H) group. Let G be a locally compact Hausdorff topological group. Let G0 be the identity component of G. If G/G0 is compact, then we say that G is almost connected. The structure of almost connected locall...
متن کاملTopology Proceedings 45 (2015) pp. 175-187: Topological entropy for automorphisms of totally disconnected locally compact groups
We give a “limit-free formula” simplifying the computation of the topological entropy for topological automorphisms of totally disconnected locally compact groups. This result allows us to extend to our setting several basic properties of the topological entropy known for compact groups.
متن کاملRepresentations of Locally Compact Totally Disconnected Groups
Let G be a locally compact totally disconnected group. Recall that every neighborhood of 1 in G contains a compact open subgroup. If G is assumed to be compact, then every neighborhood of 1 in G contains a compact open normal subgroup. On the other hand, it follows from properties of Lie groups that the group GL(n,C) has the property that there is some neighborhood of the identity which contain...
متن کاملLocally compact groups with dense orbits under $\bm{\mathbb{Z}}^{\bm{d}}$-actions by automorphisms
We consider locally compact groups G admitting a topologically transitive Z -action by automorphisms. It is shown that such a group G has a compact normal subgroupK ofG, invariant under the action, such thatG/K is a product of (finitely many) locally compact fields of characteristic zero; moreover, the totally disconnected fields in the decomposition can be chosen to be invariant under the Z -a...
