The following result is the central technical result underlying the theory <strong>of</strong> the<br />
present §2.<br />
(Pr<strong>of</strong>inite Conjugates <strong>of</strong> Nontrivial Compact Sub-<br />
be a nontrivial<br />
Proposition 2.1.<br />
groups) In the notation <strong>of</strong> the above discussion, let Λ ⊆ Π tp<br />
G<br />
compact subgroup, γ ∈ ̂Π G an element such that γ · Λ · γ −1 ⊆ Π tp<br />
G<br />
[or, equivalently,<br />
Λ ⊆ γ −1 · Π tp<br />
G<br />
· γ]. Then γ ∈ Πtp<br />
G .<br />
Pro<strong>of</strong>. Write ̂Γ for the “pro-̂Σ semi-graph” associated to the <strong>universal</strong> pro-̂Σ étale<br />
covering <strong>of</strong> G [i.e., the covering corresponding to the subgroup {1} ⊆̂Π G ]; Γ tp for<br />
the “pro-semi-graph” associated to the <strong>universal</strong> tempered covering <strong>of</strong> G [i.e., the<br />
covering corresponding to the subgroup {1} ⊆Π tp<br />
G<br />
]. Thus,wehaveanaturaldense<br />
map Γ tp → ̂Γ. Let us refer to a [“pro-”]vertex <strong>of</strong> ̂Γ that occurs as the image <strong>of</strong> a<br />
[“pro-”]vertex <strong>of</strong> Γ tp as tempered. Since Λ, γ · Λ · γ −1 are compact subgroups <strong>of</strong> Π tp<br />
G ,<br />
it follows from [SemiAnbd], Theorem 3.7, (iii) [cf. also [SemiAnbd], Example 3.10],<br />
that there exist verticial subgroups Λ ′ , Λ ′′ ⊆ Π tp<br />
G such that Λ ⊆ Λ′ , γ · Λ · γ −1 ⊆ Λ ′′ .<br />
Thus, Λ ′ ,Λ ′′ correspond to tempered vertices v ′ , v ′′ <strong>of</strong> ̂Γ; {1} ̸= γ·Λ·γ −1 ⊆ γ·Λ ′·γ−1 ,<br />
so (γ · Λ ′ · γ −1 ) ⋂ Λ ′′ ≠ {1}. SinceΛ ′′ , γ · Λ ′ · γ −1 are both verticial subgroups <strong>of</strong><br />
̂Π G , it thus follows either from [AbsTopII], Proposition 1.3, (iv), or from [NodNon],<br />
Proposition 3.9, (i), that the corresponding vertices v ′′ ,(v ′ ) γ <strong>of</strong> ̂Γ are either equal<br />
or adjacent. In particular, since v ′′ is tempered, we thus conclude that (v ′ ) γ is<br />
tempered. Thus,v ′ ,(v ′ ) γ are tempered, so γ ∈ Π tp<br />
G<br />
, as desired. ○<br />
Next, relative to the notation “C”, “N” and related terminology concerning<br />
commensurators and normalizers discussed, for instance, in [SemiAnbd], §0; [CombGC],<br />
§0, we have the following result.<br />
Proposition 2.2. (Commensurators <strong>of</strong> Decomposition Subgroups Associated<br />
to Sub-semi-graphs) In the notation <strong>of</strong> the above discussion, ̂Π H (respectively,<br />
Π tp H )iscommensurably terminal in ̂Π G (respectively, ̂Π G [hence, also<br />
in Π tp<br />
G<br />
]). In particular, Πtp<br />
G is commensurably terminal in ̂Π G .<br />
Pro<strong>of</strong>. First, let us observe that by allowing, in Proposition 2.1, Λ to range over the<br />
open subgroups <strong>of</strong> any verticial [hence, in particular, nontrivial compact!] subgroup<br />
<strong>of</strong> Π tp<br />
G<br />
, it follows from Proposition 2.1 that<br />
Π tp<br />
G<br />
is commensurably terminal in ̂Π G<br />
— cf. Remark 2.2.2 below. In particular, by applying this fact to H [cf. the discussion<br />
preceding Proposition 2.1], we conclude that Π tp H<br />
is commensurably terminal<br />
in ̂Π H . Next, let us observe that it is immediate from the definitions that<br />
Π tp H ⊆ C Π tp (Π tp H ) ⊆ ĈΠ (Π tp<br />
G<br />
G<br />
H ) ⊆ ĈΠ (̂Π H )<br />
G<br />
[where we think <strong>of</strong> ̂Π H , ̂Π G , respectively, as the pro-̂Σ completions <strong>of</strong> Π tp H ,Πtp G<br />
]. On<br />
the other hand, by the evident pro-̂Σ analogue <strong>of</strong> [SemiAnbd], Corollary 2.7, (i),
