Topological regular variation. III: Regular variation (Q989083): Difference between revisions

The paper extends the topological theory of regular variation of the slowly varying case of \textit{N. H. Bingham} and \textit{A. J. Ostaszewski} [Topology Appl. 157, No. 13, 1999--2013 (2010; Zbl 1202.26004)] to the regularly varying functions between metric groups, viewed as normed groups, cf. \textit{N. H. Bingham} and \textit{A. J. Ostaszewski} [Topology Appl. 157, No. 13, 2014--2023 (2010; Zbl 1203.26003)]. This employs the language of topological dynamics, especially flows and cocycles. In particular the authors show that regularly varying functions obey the chain rule and in the non-communicative context they characterize pairs of regularly varying functions whose product is regularly varying. The latter requires the use of a differential modus akin to the modulus of Haar integration.
