Abstract

Given a locally compact group G and a probability measure μ on G it is of interest to know, in various situations, whether there exist divergent sequences {gn} such that {gn μg−1n is relatively compact (see for example [DM3] and [DS]); this phenomenon may be viewed as ‘collapsing’ of the measure. It is the purpose of this note to prove Theorem 1 below and give certain applications to the asymptotic behaviour of concentration functions.
