Morita equivalence for continuous groups

Extract

This paper is essentially concerned with the following problem. Let G be a topological group. AG-set is a set S equipped with a continuous action (where S is given the discrete topology). These G-sets form a category BG. It is well known that if G and H are discrete groups, BG is equivalent to BH iff G is isomorphic to H. However, this result cannot be extended much beyond the discrete case. The problem is: when is BG equivalent to BH, for topological groups G and H?
