Résumé

We first explore in details a wide variety of examples of locally compact groups which arise in algebra, geometry, and dynamics. In particular, we discuss Lie groups over the reals and over the p-adic numbers, automorphism groups of locally finite trees, and almost automorphism groups of rooted trees. We go on to survey the general theory of locally compact groups.
