Extract

For any locally compact topological group G let M(G) denote the topological semigroup of all probability (Borel) measures on G, furnished with the weak topology and with convolution as the multiplication. A Gauss semigroup on G is a homomorphism t→ μt of the strictly positive reals (under addition) into M(G) such that

(i) no μt is a point mesaure,

(ii) for each neighbourhood V of 1 in G we have
