On a theorem of W.W. Comfort and K.A. Ross

Aleksander V. Arhangel'skii (1999)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A well known theorem of W.W. Comfort and K.A. Ross, stating that every pseudocompact group is C -embedded in its Weil completion [5] (which is a compact group), is extended to some new classes of topological groups, and the proofs are very transparent, short and elementary (the key role in the proofs belongs to Lemmas 1.1 and 4.1). In particular, we introduce a new notion of canonical uniform tightness of a topological group G and prove that every G δ -dense subspace Y of a topological group G , such...

On a translation property of positive definite functions

Lars Omlor, Michael Leinert (2010)

Banach Center Publications

If G is a locally compact group with a compact invariant neighbourhood of the identity e, the following property (*) holds: For every continuous positive definite function h≥ 0 with compact support there is a constant C h > 0 such that L x h · g C h h g for every continuous positive definite g≥0, where L x is left translation by x. In [L], property (*) was stated, but the above inequality was proved for special h only. That “for one h” implies “for all h” seemed obvious, but turned out not to be obvious at all. We fill...

On a universality property of some abelian Polish groups

Su Gao, Vladimir Pestov (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that every abelian Polish group is the topological factor group of a closed subgroup of the full unitary group of a separable Hilbert space with the strong operator topology. It follows that all orbit equivalence relations induced by abelian Polish group actions are Borel reducible to some orbit equivalence relations induced by actions of the unitary group.

On a variant of Kazhdan's property (T) for subgroups of semisimple groups

Mohammed Bachir Bekka, Nicolas Louvet (1997)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let Γ be an irreducible lattice in a product G of simple groups. Assume that G has a factor with property (T). We give a description of the topology in a neighbourhood of the trivial one dimensional representation of Γ in terms of the topology of the dual space G ^ of G .We use this result to give a new proof for the triviality of the first cohomology group of Γ with coefficients in a finite dimensional unitary representation.

On Analytic Vectors for Unitary Representations of Infinite Dimensional Lie Groups

Karl-H. Neeb (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let G be a connected and simply connected Banach–Lie group. On the complex enveloping algebra of its Lie algebra 𝔤 we define the concept of an analytic functional and show that every positive analytic functional λ is integrable in the sense that it is of the form λ ( D ) = d π ( D ) v , v for an analytic vector v of a unitary representation of G . On the way to this result we derive criteria for the integrability of * -representations of infinite dimensional Lie algebras of unbounded operators to unitary group representations.For...
