Title
Dynamics of Distal Actions on Groups
An automorphism T of a locally compact group is said to be distal if the closure of the T-orbit of any nontrivial element stays away from the identity. We discuss some properties of distal actions on groups. We will also relate any distal group with the behaviour of convolution powers of probability measures on it. (This would be a survey talk and most of it would be accessible to most people.)
