A p-compact group is the homotopical ghost of a compact Lie group; it is the residue that remains after the geometry and algebra have been stripped away. This paper sketches the theory of p-compact groups, with the intention of illustrating the fact that many classical structural properties of compact Lie groups depend only on homotopy theoretic considerations. 1 From compact Lie groups to p-co...

Preliminaries. Bn (resp. 5„_i) will denote the subset of Rn consisting of those x such that ||x|| g 1 (resp. ¡|x|| = 1). x0 will denote the point (1, 0, 0, •• -, 0) of R" and T will denote Si made into a topological group by using complex multiplication. All groups will be assumed to be Abelian. For a based topological space X and a topological group G, let C(X, G) denote the set of maps (i.e.,...

‎let $g$ be a locally compact abelian group‎. ‎the concept of a generalized multiresolution structure (gms) in $l^2(g)$ is discussed which is a generalization of gms in $l^2(mathbb{r})$‎. ‎basically a gms in $l^2(g)$ consists of an increasing sequence of closed subspaces of $l^2(g)$ and a pseudoframe of translation type at each level‎. ‎also‎, ‎the construction of affine frames for $l^2(g)$ bas...
