In \cite{Kramer11} Kramer proves for a large class of semisimple Lie groups that they admit just one locally compact $\sigma$-compact Hausdorff topology compatible with the group operations. We present two different methods of generalising…

We study contraction groups for automorphisms of totally disconnected locally compcat groups using the scale of the automorphism as a tool. The contraction group is shown to be unbounded when the inverse automorphism has non-trivial scale…

We construct a sequence of simple non-discrete totally disconnected locally compact (tdlc) groups separated by finiteness properties; that is, for every positive integer $n$ there exists a simple non-discrete tdlc group that is of type…

This article contains a basic introduction to the local study of finite groups, including a brief perspective on the theory of fusion systems and $p$-local finite groups. -- Este art\'iculo contiene una introducci\'on b\'asica al estudio…

Let $\Delta$ be a spherical building each of whose irreducible components is infinite, has rank at least 2 and satisfies the Moufang condition. We show that $\Delta$ can be given the structure of a topological building that is compact and…

We introduce the notion of soficity for locally compact groups and list a number of open problems.

We construct locally compact groups with no non-trivial Invariant Random Subgroups and no non-trivial Uniformly Recurrent Subgroups.

This text is the preprint version of the concluding chapter for the book New Directions in Locally Compact Groups published by Cambridge University Press in the series Lecture Notes of the LMS. The recent progress on locally compact groups…

Let $p$ be a fixed prime number. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the notion of \textit{irreducible} $p$-local compact group, which provides a first reduction towards a classification of all $p$-local compact groups. In order…

Generalizing results from \cite{DTk,DU} we study the fine structure of locally minimal (locally) precompact Abelian groups (these are the locally essential subgroups $G$ of LCA groups $L$, i.e., such that $G$ non-trivially meets all…

We prove continuity results for abstract epimorphisms of locally compact groups onto finitely generated groups.

We develop a structure theory of connected solvable spherical subgroups in semisimple algebraic groups. Based on this theory, we obtain an explicit classification of all such subgroups up to conjugation.

This paper aims to examine the version of the topological group structure in proximity and especially descriptive proximity spaces, that is, the concepts of proximal group and descriptive proximal group are introduced. In addition, the…

We study universal groups for right-angled buildings. Inspired by Simon Smith's work on universal groups for trees, we explicitly allow local groups that are not necessarily finite nor transitive. We discuss various topological and…

This work is motivated by the problem of finding locally compact group topologies for piecewise full groups (a.k.a.~ topological full groups). We determine that any piecewise full group that is locally compact in the compact-open topology…

Let $\phi: G \rightarrow H$ be a group homomorphism such that $H$ is a totally disconnected locally compact (t.d.l.c.) group and the image of $\phi$ is dense. We show that all such homomorphisms arise as completions of $G$ with respect to…

In this paper, we describe the possible disconnected complex reductive algebraic groups $E$ with component group $\Gamma = E/E_0$. We show that there is a natural bijection between such groups $E$ and algebraic extensions of $\Gamma$ by…

We show that the group of type-preserving automorphisms of any irreducible semi-regular thick right-angled building is abstractly simple. When the building is locally finite, this gives a large family of compactly generated (abstractly)…

A function group is a finitely generated Kleinian group with an invariant connected component of its region of discontinuity. An extended function group is a finitely generated extended Kleinian group that contains orientation reversing…

We introduce the group-compact coarse structure on a Hausdorff topological group in the context of coarse structures on an abstract group which are compatible with the group operations. We develop asymptotic dimension theory for the…
