Functions of Bounded Variation on Idempotent Semigroups:
The spectrum of a Gelfand pair , where is a nilpotent group, can be embedded in a Euclidean space. We prove that in general, the Schwartz functions on the spectrum are the Gelfand transforms of Schwartz -invariant functions on . We also show the converse in the case of the Gelfand pair , where is the free two-step nilpotent Lie group with three generators. This extends recent results for the Heisenberg group.
Let G be a group of automorphisms of a tree X (with set of vertices S) and H a kernel on S × S invariant under the action of G. We want to give an estimate of the -operator norm (1 ≤ r ≤ 2) of the operator associated to H in terms of a norm for H. This was obtained by U. Haagerup when G is the free group acting simply transitively on a homogeneous tree. Our result is valid when X is a locally finite tree and one of the orbits of G is the set of vertices at even distance from a given vertex; a technical...
Some extensions of the properties of invariant polynomials proved by Davis (1980), Chikuse (1980), Chikuse and Davis (1986) and Ratnarajah et al. (2005) are given for symmetric and Hermitian matrices.
The generalized notion of weak amenability, namely -weak amenability, where are continuous homomorphisms on a Banach algebra , was introduced by Bodaghi, Eshaghi Gordji and Medghalchi (2009). In this paper, the -weak amenability on the measure algebra , the group algebra and the Segal algebra , where is a locally compact group, are studied. As a typical example, the -weak amenability of a special semigroup algebra is shown as well.
