Endomorphisms of Lie groups over local fields (Q1627448)

This paper is devoted to study the scale, tidy subgroups and further subgroups (like contraction subgroups) for analytic endomorphisms of totally disconnected, locally compact Lie groups over totally disconnected local fields (like the field of $p$-adic numbers or fields of formal Laurent series over a finite field). The main goal is twofold: on the one hand, an exposition is given of Lie groups over local fields and their endomorphisms, initiated by \textit{G. A. Willis} [Math. Ann. 361, No. 1--2, 403--442 (2015; Zbl 1308.22002)]; on the other hand, most of the text can be considered as a research article, as it contains new and interesting findings that are proved here in full. In the reviewer's opinion, this paper is highly recommendable for graduate students and those interested in addressing this area of research. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1394.00023].
