A Fourier Transform for Compact Nilmanifolds with Flat Orbits.
We give new and general sufficient conditions for a Gaussian upper bound on the convolutions of a suitable sequence K₁, K₂, K₃, ... of complex-valued functions on a unimodular, compactly generated locally compact group. As applications, we obtain Gaussian bounds for convolutions of suitable probability densities, and for convolutions of small perturbations of densities.
Let be a locally compact group. We continue our work [A. Ghaffari: -amenability of locally compact groups, Acta Math. Sinica, English Series, 26 (2010), 2313–2324] in the study of -amenability of a locally compact group defined with respect to a closed subgroup of . In this paper, among other things, we introduce and study a closed subspace of and then characterize the -amenability of using . Various necessary and sufficient conditions are found for a locally compact group to possess...
This article deals with vector valued differential forms on -manifolds. As a generalization of the exterior product, we introduce an operator that combines -valued forms with -valued forms. We discuss the main properties of this operator such as (multi)linearity, associativity and its behavior under pullbacks, push-outs, exterior differentiation of forms, etc. Finally we present applications for Lie groups and fiber bundles.
In the current work, a new notion of -weak amenability of Banach algebras using homomorphisms, namely --weak amenability is introduced. Among many other things, some relations between --weak amenability of a Banach algebra and , the Banach algebra of matrices with entries from , are studied. Also, the relation of this new concept of amenability of a Banach algebra and its unitization is investigated. As an example, it is shown that the group algebra is ()--weakly amenable for any...
We introduce a new method for obtaining heat kernel on-diagonal lower bounds on non- compact Lie groups and on infinite discrete groups. By using this method, we are able to recover the previously known results for unimodular amenable Lie groups as well as for certain classes of discrete groups including the polycyclic groups, and to give them a geometric interpretation. We also obtain new results for some discrete groups which admit the structure of a semi-direct product or of a wreath product....
