On embeddings into compactly generated groups

Pierre-Emmanuel Caprace and Yves Cornulier

Vol. 269 (2014), No. 2, 305–321
Abstract

We prove that there is a second-countable locally compact group that does not embed as a closed subgroup in any compactly generated locally compact group, and discuss various related embedding and nonembedding results.

Keywords
locally compact groups, compactly generated groups, topologically simple groups, unrestricted wreath products
