Abstract.
In the first part of the talk I will illustrate how the classical notion of accessibility for finitely generated groups carries over to the realm of compactly generated totally disconnected locally compact (= t.d.l.c.) groups. Then, by means of a new notion of Euler-Poincaré characteristic, I will discuss an accessibility result in the t.d.l.c. framework, under the assumption of rational discrete cohomological dimension = 1.
