Abstract
We establish a new connection between local and large-scale structure in compactly generated totally disconnected locally compact (t.d.l.c.) groups G , finding a sufficient condition for G to have more than one end in terms of its compact subgroups. The condition actually results in an action of a quotient group G/N on a tree with faithful micro-supported action on the boundary, where N is compact, and is closely related to the Boolean algebra formed by the centralisers of the subgroups of G/N with open normaliser. As an application, we find a sufficient condition, given a one-ended t.d.l.c. group G , for all direct factors of open subgroups of G to be trivial or open.
