Some properties of groups without the property P1.
Let A be a semisimple commutative regular tauberian Banach algebra with spectrum . In this paper, we study the norm spectra of elements of and present some applications. In particular, we characterize the discreteness of in terms of norm spectra. The algebra A is said to have property (S) if, for all , φ has a nonempty norm spectrum. For a locally compact group G, let denote the C*-algebra generated by left translation operators on and denote the discrete group G. We prove that the Fourier...
Let (G,X) be a transformation group, where X is a locally compact Hausdorff space and G is a compact group. We investigate the stable rank and the real rank of the transformation group C*-algebra C₀(X)⋊ G. Explicit formulae are given in the case where X and G are second countable and X is locally of finite G-orbit type. As a consequence, we calculate the ranks of the group C*-algebra C*(ℝⁿ ⋊ G), where G is a connected closed subgroup of SO(n) acting on ℝⁿ by rotation.
