Via these properties, every compactly generated locally compact group admits an essentially chief series - i.e. a finite normal series in which each factor is compact, discrete, or a topological chief factor. Additionally, a Jordan-H\\\"older theorem holds for the `large' factors in an essentially chief series.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-09-22T13:32:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "compactly generated locally compact group", "essentially chief series", "generated locally compact group admits", "finite normal series", "closed normal subgroups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150906593R" } } }
