W. Rudin has proved that the union of the Riesz set N ⊆ R with a Λ(l)-subset of Z is again a Riesz set. In this note we generalize his result to compact groups whose contains a circle group, thereby extending an earlier F. and M. Riesz theorem for such groups by the author. We also investigate the possibility of constructing Λ(p)-sets for these groups, departing from Λ(p)-sets for the circle group in center.
