Abstract

We find representations for the automorphisms, derivations and multipliers of the Fréchet algebra L ¹ l o c of locally integrable functions on the half-line ℝ + . We show, among other things, that every automorphism θ of L ¹ l o c is of the form θ = φ a e λ X e D , where D is a derivation, X is the operator of multiplication by coordinate, λ is a complex number, a > 0, and φ a is the dilation operator ( φ a f ) ( x ) = a f ( a x ) ( f ∈ L ¹ l o c , x ∈ ℝ + ). It is also shown that the automorphism group is a topological group with the topology of uniform convergence on bounded sets and is the semidirect product of a connected subgroup and a discrete group which is isomorphic to the discrete group of real numbers.

We show, among other things, that every automorphism θ of $L¹_{loc}$ is of the form $θ = φ _ae^{λX}e^D$, where D is a derivation, X is the operator of multiplication by coordinate, λ is a complex number, a > 0, and $φ_a$ is the dilation operator $(φ_af)(x) = af(ax)$ ($f ∈ L¹_{loc}$, $x ∈ ℝ^+$).
