More generally, locally compact groups have a rich theory of harmonic analysis, because they admit a natural notion of measure and integral, given by the haar measure.
The most important property of locally compact group we recall in x7. Apart from covering important areas of current interest, a major aim is to make topics of an interdisciplinary nature accessible to the nonspecialist. We also remark that any smooth action of a compact lie group g on a smooth manifold m is locally linear.

In mathematics, a locally compact group is a topological group g for which the underlying topology is locally compact and hausdorff. Palais to extend a substantial part of the theory of compact lie transformation groups to noncompact ones.
A topological space is called locally compact if every point has a compact neighbourhood or rather, if one does not at the same time assume that the space is hausdorff topological space, then one needs to require that these compact neighbourhoods exist in a controlled way, e. This should be sufficient reason for studying compact groups of transformations of a space or of a manifold. Totally disconnected, nilpotent, locally compact groups.
