Invariant measures on locally compact spaces and a topological characterization of unimodular Lie groups. (English) Zbl 0668.22001

Math. Slovaca 38, No. 4, 345-359 (1988).
Let X be a locally compact space and let G be a group of homeomorphisms of X such that every G-orbit is dense in X. The author studies a necessary condition and a sufficient one for the existence of a nonzero G-invariant Borel measure on X. The main result is as follows. We denote by (B:A) the minimal number of G-images of the set A covering the set B, and by [B:A] the maximal number of pairwise disjoint G-images of A which are contained in B. Then the existence of \(\alpha\in (0,1)\) such that the inequalities \(\alpha\) (B:A)\(\leq [B:A]\leq (B:A)\) are satisfied for sufficiently many Borel sets guarantees the existence and uniqueness of a nonzero G-invariant measure. The results are applied to give a topological characterization of unimodular Lie groups.
