In this talk we present the homological version of -theory for locally compact Hausdorff groups, the corresponding talk for the homotopical version will be given by José in the same parallel session. Both versions are connected by a Hurewicz-like theorem. They can be thought of as directional versions of type and type , respectively. And classical -theory is recovered if we equip an abstract group with the discrete topology.
We provide criteria for type and homological locally compact . In the setting of an exact sequence of locally compact Hausdorff groups, we study in which way compactness properties of the kernel/extension/quotient can be derived from the other two groups in the sequence. This project is joint work with Kai-Uwe Bux and José Pedro Quintanilha.
