Finiteness properties of totally disconnected locally compact groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we investigate finiteness properties of totally disconnected locally compact groups for general commutative rings R, in particular for R=mathbbZ and R=mathbbQ. We show these properties satisfy many analogous results to the case of discrete groups, and we provide analogues of the famous Bieri's and Brown's criteria for finiteness properties and deduce that both FPn-properties and Fn-properties are quasi-isometric invariant. Moreover, we introduce graph-wreath products in the category of totally disconnected locally compact groups and discuss their finiteness properties.


Let \(G\) be a totally disconnected locally compact group and \(R\) a commutative ring. The author defines several finiteness properties for totally disconnected locally compact groups in terms of the categories \({}_{R[G]}\mathbf{top}\) and \({}_{R[G]}\mathbf{dis}\) of topological \(R[G]\)-modules and discrete \(R[G]\)-modules respectively. He also shows that many well-known properties that hold for abstract groups satisfying some finiteness properties can be transferred to the context of totally disconnected locally compact groups as well as several important criteria for finiteness properties, such as Bieri's criterion and Brown's criteria. Applications of these criteria are also presented. Finally, the author introduces graph-wreath products in the category of totally disconnected locally compact groups and discuss their finiteness properties, as well as homological and cohomological dimension for totally disconnected locally compact groups.
