A ratio limit theorem for a strongly subadditive set function in a locally compact amenable group

John Cronan Kieffer

Vol. 61 (1975), No. 1, 183–190
Abstract

It is the purpose of this paper to prove that the following property holds: Given a locally compact, amenable, unimodular group G, if S is a strongly subadditive, nonpositive, right invariant set function defined on the class 𝒦 of relatively compact Borel subsets of G, and if {Aα} is a net in 𝒦 satisfying an appropriate growth condition, then

lim λ(Aα)−1S(A α)
α

exists independently of {Aα}, where λ is Haar measure on G.
