In this paper, we will study the relative complexity of the unitary duals of countable groups. In particular, we will explain that if and are countable amenable non-type I groups, then the unitary duals of and are Borel isomorphic.
For a locally convex *-algebra A equipped with a fixed continuous *-character ε (which is roughly speaking a generalized F*-algebra), we define a cohomological property, called property (FH), which is similar to character amenability. Let be the space of continuous functions with compact support on a second countable locally compact group G equipped with the convolution *-algebra structure and a certain inductive topology. We show that has property (FH) if and only if G has property (T). On...
Let be a free group on generators. We construct the series of uniformly bounded representations of acting on the common Hilbert space, depending analytically on the complex parameter z, , such that each representation is irreducible. If is real or then is unitary; in other cases cannot be made unitary. For representations and are congruent modulo compact operators.
There is constructed a compactly generated, separable, locally compact group G and a continuous irreducible unitary representation π of G such that the image π(C*(G)) of the group C*-algebra contains the algebra of compact operators, while the image of the -group algebra does not containany nonzero compact operator. The group G is a semidirect product of a metabelian discrete group and a “generalized Heisenberg group”.
Let S be a locally compact (σ-compact) group or semigroup, and let T(t) be a continuous representation of S by contractions in a Banach space X. For a regular probability μ on S, we study the convergence of the powers of the μ-average Ux = ʃ T(t)xdμ(t). Our main results for random walks on a group G are: (i) The following are equivalent for an adapted regular probability on G: μ is strictly aperiodic; converges weakly for every continuous unitary representation of G; U is weakly mixing for any...
It is proved for Abelian groups that the Reidemeister coincidence number of two endomorphisms ϕ and ψ is equal to the number of coincidence points of ϕ̂ and ψ̂ on the unitary dual, if the Reidemeister number is finite. An affirmative answer to the bitwisted Dehn conjugacy problem for almost polycyclic groups is obtained. Finally, we explain why the Reidemeister numbers are always infinite for injective endomorphisms of Baumslag-Solitar groups.
