On Approximation of Locally Compact Groups by Finite Algebraic Systems

چکیده
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 reals in computers by finite associative rings. We show that a locally compact group is approximable by finite quasigroups iff it is unimodular.

On approximation of topological groups by finite algebraic systems
It is known that locally compact groups approximable by finite ones are unimodular, but this condition is not sufficient, for example, the simple Lie groups are not approximable by finite ones as topological groups. In this paper the approximations of locally compact groups by more general finite algebraic systems are investigated. It is proved that the approximation of locally compact groups b...
متن کاملOn approximation of topological algebraic systems by finite ones
We introduce and discuss a definition of approximation of a topological algebraic system A by finite algebraic systems of some class K. For the case of a discrete algebraic system this definition is equivalent to the well-known definition of a local embedding of an algebraic system A in a class K of algebraic systems. According to this definition A is locally embedded in K iff it is a subsystem...
متن کاملOn finite approximations of topological algebraic systems
We introduce and discuss a concept of approximation of a topological algebraic system A by finite algebraic systems from a given class K. If A is discrete, this concept agrees with the familiar notion of a local embedding of A in a class K of algebraic systems. One characterization of this concept states that A is locally embedded in K iff it is a subsystem of an ultraproduct of systems from K....

Recall that a locally compact group G is called unimodular if the left Haar measure on G is equal to the right one. It is proved in this paper that G is unimodular iff it is approximable by finite quasigroups (Latin squares).
