# Is the Haar measure of a product of finite measure and compact, finite?

Let $G$ be a locally compact group with Haar measure $\mu$, $K \subset G$ a compact subset and $F \subset G$ any subset of finite Haar measure $\mu (F) < \infty$.

Is the Haar measure of the product $\mu(KF)$ finite as well?

I know that the compactness of $K$ implies that $\mu(K)<\infty$, and that the above would be true if F was compact (since then $KF$ would be compact as well).

Take $G:=\Bbb R$ (additive group) with Lebesgue measure, $K:=[0,1]$ and $F:=\Bbb Z$. Then $$KF=\{x+y,x\in [0,1],y\in\Bbb Z\}=\Bbb R$$ which has infinite measure.
 Thank you, you are right and I missed this rather simple example. – the_lar Feb 4 at 9:33 In fact, when I said that $F$ has finite Haar measure, I was thinking about a set that is a fundamental domain for some lattice $\Gamma$ in $G$. Then $F$ is "localized" in some sense, even if it is not compact. So perhaps I can reformulate the question, with the additional assumption that $F$ is indeed a fundamental domain for a lattice $\Gamma$ in $G$ ? – the_lar Feb 4 at 9:36
