Periodic locally compact groups : a study of a class of totally disconnected topological groups /

"This authoritative book on periodic locally compact groups is divided into three parts: The first part covers the necessary background material on locally compact groups including the Chabauty topology on the space of closed subgroups of a locally compact group, its Sylow theory, and the intro...
