Good book on topological group theory?

2k Views Asked by At

I'm looking for a good introduction to the theory of locally compact groups and their representations. It may assume the reader to be familiar with basic group theory, topology and measure theory.

There is a classical Lev Pontrjagin’s book “Continuous groups” or “Topological groups” (original is in Russian, but there exists an English translation too). Also I often encountered references to “Abstract Harmonic Analysis” by E.Hewitt and K.Ross it this context, but I never saw this book. :-)
