Almost all submaximal groups are paracompact and σ-discrete

O. Alas, I. Protasov, M. Tkačenko, V. Tkachuk, R. Wilson, I. Yaschenko (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that any topological group of a non-measurable cardinality is hereditarily paracompact and strongly σ-discrete as soon as it is submaximal. Consequently, such a group is zero-dimensional. Examples of uncountable maximal separable spaces are constructed in ZFC.

Almost maximal topologies on groups

Yevhen Zelenyuk (2016)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let G be a countably infinite group. We show that for every finite absolute coretract S, there is a regular left invariant topology on G whose ultrafilter semigroup is isomorphic to S. As consequences we prove that (1) there is a right maximal idempotent in βG∖G which is not strongly right maximal, and (2) for each combination of the properties of being extremally disconnected, irresolvable, and nodec, except for the combination (-,-,+), there is a corresponding regular almost maximal left invariant...

Almost periodic compactifications of group extensions

H. D. Junghenn, Paul Milnes (2002)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let N and K be groups and let G be an extension of N by K . Given a property 𝒫 of group compactifications, one can ask whether there exist compactifications N ' and K ' of N and K such that the universal 𝒫 -compactification of G is canonically isomorphic to an extension of N ' by K ' . We prove a theorem which gives necessary and sufficient conditions for this to occur for general properties 𝒫 and then apply this result to the almost periodic and weakly almost periodic compactifications of G .

Amenable hyperbolic groups

Pierre-Emmanuel Caprace, Yves de Cornulier, Nicolas Monod, Romain Tessera (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We give a complete characterization of the locally compact groups that are non elementary Gromov-hyperbolic and amenable. They coincide with the class of mapping tori of discrete or continuous one-parameter groups of compacting automorphisms. We moreover give a description of all Gromov-hyperbolic locally compact groups with a cocompact amenable subgroup: modulo a compact normal subgroup, these turn out to be either rank one simple Lie groups, or automorphism groups of semiregular trees acting doubly...

An analogue of Hardy's theorem for the Heisenberg group

S. Thangavelu (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We observe that the classical theorem of Hardy on Fourier transform pairs can be reformulated in terms of the heat kernel associated with the Laplacian on the Euclidean space. This leads to an interesting version of Hardy's theorem for the sublaplacian on the Heisenberg group. We also consider certain Rockland operators on the Heisenberg group and Schrödinger operators on ℝⁿ related to them.
