We study a method of approximating representations of the group $M\left(n\right)$ by those of the group $SO(n+1)$. As a consequence we establish a version of a theorem of DeLeeuw for Fourier multipliers of $L^p$ that applies to the “restrictions” of a function on the dual of $M\left(n\right)$ to the dual of $SO(n+1)$.

Let $G$ be a locally compact group, for $p\in (1,\infty )$ let $P{f}_p\left(G\right)$ denote the closure of $L^1\left(G\right)$ in the convolution operators on $L^p\left(G\right)$. Denote $W_p\left(G\right)$ the dual of $P{f}_p\left(G\right)$ which is contained in the space of pointwise multipliers of the Figa-Talamanca Herz space $A_p\left(G\right)$. It is shown that on the unit sphere of $W_p\left(G\right)$ the $\sigma (W_p,P{f}_p)$ topology and the strong $A_p$-multiplier topology coincide.

We study the problem of $L^p$-boundedness ($1\<p\<\infty$) of operators of the form $m(L_1,\cdots ,L_n)$ for a commuting system of self-adjoint left-invariant differential operators $L_1,\cdots ,L_n$ on a Lie group $G$ of polynomial growth, which generate an algebra containing a weighted subcoercive operator. In particular, when $G$ is a homogeneous group and $L_1,\cdots ,L_n$ are homogeneous, we prove analogues of the Mihlin-Hörmander and Marcinkiewicz multiplier theorems.

We continue our study of derivations, multipliers, weak amenability and Arens regularity of Segal algebras on locally compact groups. We also answer two questions on Arens regularity of the Lebesgue-Fourier algebra left open in our earlier work.

Soient $G_1$ et $G_2$ deux groupes abéliens localement compacts de dual ${\Gamma }_1$ et ${\Gamma }_2$. Soit $h:{\Gamma }_1\to {\Gamma }_2$ un homomorphisme continu d’image dense de ${\Gamma }_1$ dans ${\Gamma }_2$. Soit $1\le p\le \infty$ ; on prouve un théorème d’approximation des multiplicateurs de $\mathbf{F}{L}^p(G_2)$ et on utilise ce résultat pour démontrer le suivant : soit $m:{\Gamma }_2\to \mathbf{C}$ une fonction continue ; $m$ est un multiplicateur de $\mathbf{F}{L}^p(G_2)$ si, et seulement si, $m\circ h$ est un multiplicateur de $\mathbf{F}{L}^p(G_1)$.

We find representations for the automorphisms, derivations and multipliers of the Fréchet algebra $L{¹}_{loc}$ of locally integrable functions on the half-line ${ℝ}^{+}$. We show, among other things, that every automorphism θ of $L{¹}_{loc}$ is of the form $\theta ={\phi }_a{e}^{\lambda X}{e}^D$, where D is a derivation, X is the operator of multiplication by coordinate, λ is a complex number, a > 0, and ${\phi }_a$ is the dilation operator $\left({\phi }_{a}f\right)\left(x\right)=af\left(ax\right)$ ($f\in L{¹}_{loc}$, $x\in {ℝ}^{+}$). It is also shown that the automorphism group is a topological group with the topology of uniform convergence on bounded...

Let G be a locally compact group and let π be a unitary representation. We study amenability and H-amenability of π in terms of the weak closure of (π ⊗ π)(G) and factorization properties of associated coefficient subspaces (or subalgebras) in B(G). By applying these results, we obtain some new characterizations of amenable groups.

For a multiplier on a semisimple commutative Banach algebra, the decomposability in the sense of Foiaş will be related to certain continuity properties and growth conditions of its Gelfand transform on the spectrum of the multiplier algebra. If the multiplier algebra is regular, then all multipliers will be seen to be decomposable. In general, an important tool will be the hull-kernel topology on the spectrum of the typically nonregular multiplier algebra. Our investigation involves various closed...

We study the spaces of Lorentz-Zygmund multipliers on compact abelian groups and show that many of these spaces are distinct. This generalizes earlier work on the non-equality of spaces of Lorentz multipliers.

Let G be a locally compact group. Its dual space, G*, is the set of all extreme points of the set of normalized continuous positive definite functions of G. In the early 1970s, Granirer and Rudin proved independently that if G is amenable as discrete, then G is discrete if and only if all the translation invariant means on $L^{\infty }\left(G\right)$ are topologically invariant. In this paper, we define and study G*-translation operators on VN(G) via G* and investigate the problem of the existence of G*-translation invariant...
