Abstract

Let ϕ:G→H be a group homomorphism such that H is a totally disconnected locally compact (t.d.l.c.) group and the image of ϕ is dense. We show that all such homomorphisms arise as completions of G with respect to uniformities of a particular kind. Moreover, H is determined up to a compact normal subgroup by the pair (G,ϕ-1⁢(L)), where L is a compact open subgroup of H. These results generalize the well-known properties of profinite completions to the locally compact setting.

Keywords: Totally disconnected locally compact groups; completions of groups; Hecke pairs
