We identify a class ℛ of almost simple groups that properly contains S and is moreover stable under passing to a non-discrete dense locally compact subgroup. We show that ℛ enjoys many of the same properties previously obtained for S and establish various original results for ℛ that are also new for the subclass S, notably concerning the structure of the local Sylow subgroups and the full automorphism group.]]> Thu 25 Aug 2022 11:46:28 AEST ]]> Locally normal subgroups of simple locally compact groups https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16383 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:18 AEDT ]]> Limits of contraction groups and the tits core https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20792 ϯ of a totally disconnected locally compact group G is defined as the abstract subgroup generated by the closures of the contraction groups of all its elements. We show that a dense subgroup is normalised by the Tits core if and only if it contains it. It follows that every dense subnormal subgroup contains the Tits core. In particular, if G is topologically simple, then the Tits core is abstractly simple, and when Gϯ is non-trivial, it is the smallest dense normal subgroup. The proofs are based on the fact, of independent interest, that the map which associates to an element the closure of its contraction group is continuous.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:59 AEDT ]]>
