Let G be a locally compact group. We use the canonical operator space structure on the spaces $L^p\left(G\right)$ for p ∈ [1,∞] introduced by G. Pisier to define operator space analogues $O{A}_p\left(G\right)$ of the classical Figà-Talamanca-Herz algebras $A_p\left(G\right)$. If p ∈ (1,∞) is arbitrary, then $A_p\left(G\right)\subset O{A}_p\left(G\right)$ and the inclusion is a contraction; if p = 2, then OA₂(G) ≅ A(G) as Banach spaces, but not necessarily as operator spaces. We show that $O{A}_p\left(G\right)$ is a completely contractive Banach algebra for each p ∈ (1,∞), and that $O{A}_q\left(G\right)\subset O{A}_p\left(G\right)$ completely contractively for amenable...

Let G be a locally compact group, A(G) its Fourier algebra and L¹(G) the space of Haar integrable functions on G. We study the Segal algebra S¹A(G) = A(G) ∩ L¹(G) in A(G). It admits an operator space structure which makes it a completely contractive Banach algebra. We compute the dual space of S¹A(G). We use it to show that the restriction operator ${u\mapsto u|}_H:S¹A\left(G\right)\to A\left(H\right)$, for some non-open closed subgroups H, is a surjective complete quotient map. We also show that if N is a non-compact closed subgroup, then the averaging...

Fefferman-Stein, Wainger and Sjölin proved optimal $H^p$ boundedness for certain oscillating multipliers on ${\mathbf{R}}^d$. In this article, we prove an analogue of their result on a compact Lie group.

We adapt the homogeneous Littlewood-Paley decomposition on the Heisenberg group constructed by H. Bahouri, P. Gérard et C.-J. Xu in [4] to the inhomogeneous case, which enables us to build paraproduct operators, similar to those defined by J.-M. Bony in [5]; although there is no simple formula for the Fourier transform of the product of two functions, some spectral localization properties of the classical case are preserved on the Heisenberg group after the product has been taken. Using the dyadic...

Let G be a locally compact amenable group, and A(G) and B(G) the Fourier and Fourier-Stieltjes algebras of G. For a closed subset E of G, let J(E) and k(E) be the smallest and largest closed ideals of A(G) with hull E, respectively. We study sets E for which the ideals J(E) or/and k(E) are σ(A(G),C*(G))-closed in A(G). Moreover, we present, in terms of the uniform topology of C₀(G) and the weak* topology of B(G), a series of characterizations of sets obeying synthesis. Finally, closely related to...

Dans la première partie on caractérise les opérateurs différentiels invariants sur un groupe de Lie compact qui possèdent diverses propriétés de résolubilité analytiques : pour cela on développe en séries de Fourier les fonctions analytiques et les hyperfonctions sur le groupe.La deuxième partie est l’étude de la résolubilité des opérateurs invariants sur un groupe complexe réductif dans l’espace des fonctions holomorphes ; on développe celles-ci en série de “Laurent” suivant un sous-groupe compact...

Let G be a Lie group, Xj right invariant vector fields on G, which generate (as a Lie algebra) the Lie algebra of G,L = -Σ Xj2.(...) In this paper we consider L1(G) boundedness of F(L) for (some) metabelian G and a distinguished L on G. Of the main interest is that the group is of exponential growth, and possibly higher rank. Previously positive results about higher rank groups were only about Iwasawa type groups. Also, our groups may be unimodular, so it is the second positive result (after [13])...

Let A be a semisimple commutative regular tauberian Banach algebra with spectrum ${\Sigma }_A$. In this paper, we study the norm spectra of elements of $\overline{span}{\Sigma }_A$ and present some applications. In particular, we characterize the discreteness of ${\Sigma }_A$ in terms of norm spectra. The algebra A is said to have property (S) if, for all $\phi \in \overline{}{\Sigma }_{A}0$, φ has a nonempty norm spectrum. For a locally compact group G, let ${ℳ}_2^d\left(Ĝ\right)$ denote the C*-algebra generated by left translation operators on $L^2\left(G\right)$ and $G_d$ denote the discrete group G. We prove that the Fourier...

The aim of this paper is to study mean value operators on the reduced Heisenberg group Hn/Γ, where Hn is the Heisenberg group and Γ is the subgroup {(0,2πk): k ∈ Z} of Hn.

Let G be a locally compact group, G* be the set of all extreme points of the set of normalized continuous positive definite functions of G, and a(G) be the closed subalgebra generated by G* in B(G). When G is abelian, G* is the set of Dirac measures of the dual group Ĝ, and a(G) can be identified as l¹(Ĝ). We study the properties of a(G), particularly its spectrum and its dual von Neumann algebra.
