The Role of Connectedness in the Structure and the Action of Group of Isometries of Locally Compact Metric Spaces

چکیده
By proving that, if the quotient space Σ(X) of the connected components of the locally compact metric space (X, d) is compact, then the full group I(X, d) of isometries of X is closed in C(X, X) with respect to the pointwise convergence topology, i.e., that I(X, d) coincides in this case with its Ellis’ semigroup, we complete the proof of the following: Theorem (a): If Σ(X) is not compact, I(X, d) need not be locally compact, nor act properly on X. (b): If Σ(X) is compact, I(X, d) is locally compact but need not act properly on X. (c): If, especially, X is connected, the action (I(X, d), X) is proper.

متن کاملUniform connectedness and uniform local connectedness for lattice-valued uniform convergence spaces
We apply Preuss' concept of $mbbe$-connectedness to the categories of lattice-valued uniform convergence spaces and of lattice-valued uniform spaces. A space is uniformly $mbbe$-connected if the only uniformly continuous mappings from the space to a space in the class $mbbe$ are the constant mappings. We develop the basic theory for $mbbe$-connected sets, including the product theorem. Furtherm...
متن کاملThe concentration function problem for $G$-spaces
In this note, we consider the concentration function problem for a continuous action of a locally compact group $G$ on a locally compact Hausdorff space $X$. We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the concentration functions of a spread-out irreducible probability measure $mu$ on $G$ to converge to zero.
متن کاملSome relations between $L^p$-spaces on locally compact group $G$ and double coset $Ksetminus G/H$
Let $H$ and $K$ be compact subgroups of locally compact group $G$. By considering the double coset space $Ksetminus G/H$, which equipped with an $N$-strongly quasi invariant measure $mu$, for $1leq pleq +infty$, we make a norm decreasing linear map from $L^p(G)$ onto $L^p(Ksetminus G/H,mu)$ and demonstrate that it may be identified with a quotient space of $L^p(G)$. In addition, we illustrate t...
متن کاملAbstract structure of partial function $*$-algebras over semi-direct product of locally compact groups
This article presents a unified approach to the abstract notions of partial convolution and involution in $L^p$-function spaces over semi-direct product of locally compact groups. Let $H$ and $K$ be locally compact groups and $tau:Hto Aut(K)$ be a continuous homomorphism. Let $G_tau=Hltimes_tau K$ be the semi-direct product of $H$ and $K$ with respect to $tau$. We define left and right $tau$-c...
