Jun 13, 2013 at 17:29 comment added user23860 @TheUser: I appreciate if you can introduce a reference for this statement. Because I am also interested to continuous length functions on locally compact groups and every left invariant metric gives me one.
Jun 13, 2013 at 17:22 comment added The User If you need a metric: On a locally compact group you can choose a left-invariant, complete metric such that every bounded set is relatively compact if and only if the group is second-countable. Especially, a locally compact group is a Polish group if and only if it is second-countable.
