Functionals on Banach Algebras with Scattered Spectra

H. S. Mustafayev (2004)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Let A be a complex, commutative Banach algebra and let M A be the structure space of A. Assume that there exists a continuous homomorphism h:L¹(G) → A with dense range, where L¹(G) is a group algebra of the locally compact abelian group G. The main results of this note can be summarized as follows: (a) If every weakly almost periodic functional on A with compact spectra is almost periodic, then the space M A is scattered (i.e., M A has no nonempty perfect subset). (b) Weakly almost periodic functionals...

Gelfand transforms of S O ( 3 ) -invariant Schwartz functions on the free group N 3 , 2

Véronique Fischer, Fulvio Ricci (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

The spectrum of a Gelfand pair ( K N , K ) , where N is a nilpotent group, can be embedded in a Euclidean space. We prove that in general, the Schwartz functions on the spectrum are the Gelfand transforms of Schwartz K -invariant functions on N . We also show the converse in the case of the Gelfand pair ( S O ( 3 ) N 3 , 2 , S O ( 3 ) ) , where N 3 , 2 is the free two-step nilpotent Lie group with three generators. This extends recent results for the Heisenberg group.

Généralisation d'un théorème de Haagerup

Ferdaous Kellil, Guy Rousseau (2005)

Studia Mathematica

Let G be a group of automorphisms of a tree X (with set of vertices S) and H a kernel on S × S invariant under the action of G. We want to give an estimate of the l r -operator norm (1 ≤ r ≤ 2) of the operator associated to H in terms of a norm for H. This was obtained by U. Haagerup when G is the free group acting simply transitively on a homogeneous tree. Our result is valid when X is a locally finite tree and one of the orbits of G is the set of vertices at even distance from a given vertex; a technical...
