Abstract

For a locally compact group, the property of rapid decay (property (RD)) gives a control on the convolutor norm of any compactly supported function in terms of its \(L^2\)-norm and the diameter of its support. We investigate in this paper the algebraic structure of compactly generated p-adic groups that have property (RD). We prove in particular that an algebraic group over \(\mathbb Q_p\) which is compactly generated as well as its radical has property (RD) if and only if it is reductive.

Dedicated to the memory of Professor Takaaki Nomura.
