Radial functions on free groups and a decomposition of the regular representation into irreducible components.
We initiate the study of sets of p-multiplicity in locally compact groups and their operator versions. We show that a closed subset E of a second countable locally compact group G is a set of p-multiplicity if and only if is a set of operator p-multiplicity. We exhibit examples of sets of p-multiplicity, establish preservation properties for unions and direct products, and prove a p-version of the Stone-von Neumann Theorem.
Let G be a locally compact abelian group and ℳ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a faithful semifinite normal trace τ. We study Hilbert transforms associated with G-flows on ℳ and closed semigroups Σ of Ĝ satisfying the condition Σ ∪ (-Σ) = Ĝ. We prove that Hilbert transforms on such closed semigroups satisfy a weak-type estimate and can be extended as linear maps from L¹(ℳ,τ) into . As an application, we obtain a Matsaev-type result for p = 1: if x is a quasi-nilpotent compact operator...
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...
Dans cet article nous démontrons un théorème de stabilité des probabilités de retour sur un groupe localement compact unimodulaire, séparable et compactement engendré. Nous démontrons que le comportement asymptotique de F*(2n)(e) ne dépend pas de la densité F sous des hypothèses naturelles. A titre d’exemple nous établissons que la probabilité de retour sur une large classe de groupes résolubles se comporte comme exp(−n1/3).
En utilisant la structure infinitésimale des représentations unitaires irréductibles de , nous donnons une description complète de certaines - algèbres associées aux réseaux de , répondant ainsi à certaines questions de Bekka–de La Harpe–Valette.
Let G be a locally compact group with cocompact connected component. We prove that the assembly map from the topological K-theory of G to the K-theory of the reduced C*-algebra of G is an isomorphism. The same is shown for the groups of k-rational points of any linear algebraic group over a local field k of characteristic zero.
