We construct examples of uncountable compact subsets of complex numbers with the property that any Borel measure on the circle group with Fourier coefficients taking values in this set has a natural spectrum. For measures with Fourier coefficients tending to 0 we construct an open set with this property. We also give an example of a singular measure whose spectrum is contained in our set.
Let Hₙ be the (2n+1)-dimensional Heisenberg group, let p,q ≥ 1 be integers satisfying p+q=n, and let , where X₁,Y₁,...,Xₙ,Yₙ,T denotes the standard basis of the Lie algebra of Hₙ. We compute explicitly a relative fundamental solution for L.
For a non-precompact topological group G, we consider the space C(G) of bounded, continuous, scalar-valued functions on G with the supremum norm, together with the subspace LMC(G) of left multiplicatively continuous functions, the subspace LUC(G) of left norm continuous functions, and the subspace WAP(G) of weakly almost periodic functions. We establish that the quotient space LUC(G)/WAP(G) contains a linear isometric copy of , and that the quotient space C(G)/LMC(G) (and a fortiori C(G)/LUC(G))...
We characterize finitely generated abelian semigroups such that every completely positive definite function (a function all of whose shifts are positive definite) is an integral of nonnegative miltiplicative real-valued functions (called nonnegative characters).
