- Description
- A new characterisation of the scale function on the locally compact group G is given. It is shown that for x in G the scale of x, s(x), is the minimum value attained by the index [xUx⁻¹ : xUx⁻¹ ∩ U] as U ranges over all compact open subgroups of G. The properties of the scale function when passing to subgroups and quotient groups of G and under increasing unions of groups are also described.
