A characterization of compactly ruled groups

From MaRDI portal





Let \(\mathcal{SUB}(G)\) denote the space of closed subgroups of a topological group \(G\) endowed with the Chabauty topology. Furthermore denote the subspaces of compact and compact open subgroups by \(\mathcal{SUB}_{\mbox{c}}(G)\) and \(\mathcal{SUB}_{\mbox{co}}(G)\), respectively. If \(\mathcal{F}\) is a subset of \(\mathcal{SUB}(G)\) then the elements in the closure \(\overline{\mathcal{F}}\) are called \textit{Chabauty limits} of \(\mathcal{F}\). A topological group is said to be \textit{compactly ruled} if it is the direct union of compact open subgroups. The author tackles two questions arising from a paper by \textit{H. Hamrouni} and \textit{Z. Jlali} [Proc. Indian Acad. Sci., Math. Sci. 131, No. 1, Paper No. 6, 10 p. (2021; Zbl 1490.22006)]. The main results are the following: Theorem A. Let \(G\) be a locally compact group. Then the following are equivalent: \begin{itemize} \item[(1)] \(G\) is a Chabauty limit of \(\mathcal{SUB}_{\mbox{c}}(G)\). \item[(2)] \(G\) is a Chabauty limit of \(\mathcal{SUB}_{\mbox{co}}(G)\). \item[(3)] \(G\) is compactly ruled. \end{itemize} Theorem B. Let \(G\) be a locally compact group and \(E\) the trivial subgroup of \(G\). Then the following are equivalent: \begin{itemize} \item[(1)] \(G\) is compactly ruled and totally disconnected. \item[(2)] \(E\) and \(G\) are Chabauty limits of \(\mathcal{SUB}_{\mbox{co}}(G)\). \end{itemize}
