Embedding Abstract Groups into Topological Groups
Presented by:
Murray Elder, University of Newcastle
Date:
Wed 7 Nov, 1:00 pm
Venue:
Room 442, Building 67 I will describe some new work with George Willis on embedding abstract groups into totally disconnected topological groups. For each pair of relatively prime integers m and n we obtain s distinct totally disconnected locally compact group which contains the Baumslag-Solitar groups BS(m,n) as a subgroup.
