Periodic Locally Compact Groups : : A Study of a Class of Totally Disconnected Topological Groups / / Karl H. Hofmann, Wolfgang Herfort, Francesco G. Russo.

This authoritative book on periodic locally compact groups is divided into three parts: The first part covers the necessary background material on locally compact groups including the Chabauty topology on the space of closed subgroups of a locally compact group, its Sylow theory, and the introductio...
