Extract

Continuous one-parameter semigroups {μt}t≥0 of probability measures on a locally compact group which are semistable with respect to some automorphism τ of the group, namely such that τ(μt) = μct for all t ≥ 0, for a fixed c ∈ (0, 1), have attracted considerable attention of various researchers in recent years (cf. [3], [5] and other references cited therein). A detailed study of semistable measures on (real) Lie groups is carried out in [5]. In this context it is of interest to study semistable measures on the class of p-adic Lie groups, which is another significant class of locally compact groups.
