On a certain L-ideal of the measure algebra
The Banach spaces defined in this paper consist essentially of those elements of ( being a locally compact group) which can in a certain sense be well approximated by functions with compact support. The main result of this paper is the fact that in many cases becomes a Banach convolution algebra. There exist many natural examples. Furthermore some theorems concerning inclusion results and the structure of these spaces are given. In particular we prove that simple conditions imply the existence...
We show how the measure theory of regular compacted-Borel measures defined on the -ring of compacted-Borel subsets of a weighted locally compact group provides a compatible framework for defining the corresponding Beurling measure algebra , thus filling a gap in the literature.
We construct examples of uncountable compact subsets of complex numbers with the property that any Borel measure on the circle group with Fourier coefficients taking values in this set has a natural spectrum. For measures with Fourier coefficients tending to 0 we construct an open set with this property. We also give an example of a singular measure whose spectrum is contained in our set.
Some relationships between representations of a hypergroup X, its algebras, and positive definite functions on X are studied. Also, various types of convergence of positive definite functions on X are discussed.
