On the Spectrum of Convolution Operators on Groups with Polynomial Growth.
[For the entire collection see Zbl 0742.00067.]In the first part some general results on Hecke algebras are recalled; the structure constants corresponding to the standard basis are defined; in the following the example of the commuting algebra of the Gelfand- Graev representation of the general linear group is examined; here is a finite field of elements; the structure constants are explicitly determined first for the standard basis and then for a new basis obtained via a Mellin-transformation....
This paper is motivated by the question whether there is a nice structure theory of finitely generated modules over the Iwasawa algebra, i.e. the completed group algebra, of a -adic analytic group . For without any -torsion element we prove that is an Auslander regular ring. This result enables us to give a good definition of the notion of a pseudo-null -module. This is classical when for some integer , but was previously unknown in the non-commutative case. Then the category of -modules...
