چکیده
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.

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 کاملMeasures of maximal entropy
We extend the results of Walters on the uniqueness of invariant measures with maximal entropy on compact groups to an arbitrary locally compact group. We show that the maximal entropy is attained at the left Haar measure and the measure of maximal entropy is unique.
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...
متن کاملDynamics of flat actions on totally disconnected, locally compact groups
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 intersect...
متن کاملTopology Proceedings 37 (2011) pp. 315-330: Continuous and Pontryagin duality of topological groups
For Pontryagin’s group duality in the setting of locally compact topological Abelian groups, the topology on the character group is the compact open topology. There exist at present two extensions of this theory to topological groups which are not necessarily locally compact. The first, called the Pontryagin dual, retains the compact-open topology. The second, the continuous dual, uses the cont...
