The Scale and Tidy Subgroups for Endomorphisms of Totally Disconnected Locally Compact Groups

The scale of an endomorphism, $α$, of a totally disconnected, locally compact group $G$ is the minimum index $[α(U) : α(U)\cap U]$, for $U$ a compact, open subgroup of $G$. A structural characterization of subgroups at which the minimum is attained is established. This characterization extends the notion of subgroup tidy for $α$ from previously understood case when $α$ is an automorphism to the case when $α$ is merely an endomorphism.
