Abstract: | Let G be a noncompact locally compact group. We show that a necessary and sufficient condition in order that G support an adapted probability measure whose concentration functions fail converge to zero is that G be the semidirect product , where is an automorphism of N contractive modulo a compact subgroup. Any adapted a probability measure whose concentration functions fail to converge to zero has the form =v×1 where v is a probability measure on N. If G is unimodular then the concentration functions of an adapted probability measure fail to converge to zero if and only if is supported on a coset of a compact normal subgroup. |
