Groupoids and compact quantum groups
We present a simple constructive proof of the fact that every abelian discrete group is uniformly amenable. We improve the growth function obtained earlier and find the optimal growth function in a particular case. We also compute a growth function for some non-abelian uniformly amenable group.
Let (X) be the algebra of all bounded operators on a Banach space X, and let θ: G → (X) be a strongly continuous representation of a locally compact and second countable abelian group G on X. Set σ¹(θ(g)): = λ/|λ| | λ ∈ σ(θ(g)), where σ(θ(g)) is the spectrum of θ(g), and let be the set of all g ∈ G such that σ¹(θ(g)) does not contain any regular polygon of (by a regular polygon we mean the image under a rotation of a closed subgroup of the unit circle different from 1). We prove that θ is uniformly...
MSC 2010: 30C60A more general version of Hilbert's fifth problem, called the Hilbert-Smith conjecture, asserts that among all locally compact topological groups only Lie groups can act effectively on finite-dimensional manifolds. We give a solution of the Hilbert-Smith Conjecture for K - quasiconformal groups acting on domains in the extended n - dimensional Euclidean space.
