Non-discrete simple locally compact groups (Q1620854)

The author studies simple Lie groups and simple algebraic groups over local fields as members of a much broader class, denoted by \(\mathcal S\), comprising all non-discrete, compactly generated, locally compact groups that are topologically simple. He gives an overview of results and problems, presented in the past decade, whose purpose is the study of \(\mathcal S\) as a whole. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1396.00017].
