This workshop studies the relationship between local, or small-scale, and global, or large-scale, properties of t.d.l.c. groups, which is more subtle than for Lie groups. Small-scale structure, which ...

If a polycyclic-by-finite rank-K group Γ admits a faithful affine representation making it acting on R K properly discontinuously and with compact quotient, we say that Γ admits an affine structure.

Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 140, No. 3 (MARCH 2012), pp. 745-747 (3 pages) Let X be a compact Hausdorff space, let Γ be a discrete group that acts continuously on X from the ...
