Let G be any compact group, connected or disconnected, with dual object Ĝ. We define a family of local Sidon subsets of Ĝ in terms of allowable images of the representations. Using this family we develop a straightforward criterion whereby the existence of infinite Sidon subsets of Ĝ may be decided.
