We apply Michael's selection theorem to offer a direct, self-contained, purely topological proof of the result of Hofmann and Morris on the existence of suitable sets in locally compact groups. Our approach uses only elementary facts from (topological) group theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-12-04T19:03:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "22D05", "22A05", "22C05", "54A25", "54B05", "54B35", "54C60", "54C65", "54D30", "54D45", "54H11" ], "keywords": [ "locally compact groups", "building suitable sets", "continuous selections", "apply michaels selection theorem", "group theory" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0812.0489S" } } }
