Matrix coefficients of irreducible representations of free products of groups
The aim of this paper is to extend the framework of the spectral method for proving property (T) to the class of reflexive Banach spaces and present a condition implying that every affine isometric action of a given group on a reflexive Banach space has a fixed point. This last property is a strong version of Kazhdan’s property (T) and is equivalent to the fact that for every isometric representation of on . The condition is expressed in terms of -Poincaré constants and we provide examples...
In the first part of the paper, some criteria of continuity of representations of a Polish group in a Banach algebra are given. The second part uses the result of the first part to deduce automatic continuity results of Baire morphisms from Polish groups to locally compact groups or unitary groups. In the final part, the spectrum of an element in the range of a strongly but not norm continuous representation is described.
We give a construction of an analytic series of uniformly bounded representations of a free group G, through the action of G on its Poisson boundary. These representations are irreducible and give as their coefficients all the spherical functions on G which tend to zero at infinity. The principal and the complementary series of unitary representations are included. We also prove that this construction and the other known constructions lead to equivalent representations.
In this paper we obtain Lp versions of the classical theorems of induced representations, namely, the inducing in stages theorem, the Kronecker product theorem, the Frobenius Reciprocity theorem and the subgroup theorem. In doing so we adopt the tensor product approach of Rieffel to inducing.
