Let G = {(x; y) : x in R; y > 0}$G = \{(x; y) : x \in \mathbb{R}, y > 0\}$. With (x; y)(u; v) = (x + yu; yv)$(x, y)(u, v) = (x + yu, yv)$, G$G$ is a group .If If we topologize G$G$ as a subset of R^2$\mathbb{R}^2$, it is known that G$G$ is a locally compact group group that is not unimodular. (see (15.17) of Hewitt-Ross). Is there another topological structure of the group G$G$ such that G be$G$ is a locally compact group and alsothe subgroup K = {(0; y) : y > 0} be$K = \{(0, y) : y > 0\}$ is compact?
