1 Locally compact Hausdorff spaces
Definition 1.1. A locally compact Hausdorff space HLC is a locally compact topological
space (XLC,τ) with τ being a Hausdorff topology, that is, if given any distinct points
x,y ∈ XLC, there exist disjoint sets U,V ∈ τ such that, U ∩ V = ∅ (that is, open sets), and
with x and y satisfying the conditions that x ∈ U and y ∈ V .
