Semi-groupes de moments.
Semiperfect semigroups are abelian involution semigroups on which every positive semidefinite function admits a disintegration as an integral of hermitian multiplicative functions. Famous early instances are the group on integers (Herglotz Theorem) and the semigroup of nonnegative integers (Hamburger's Theorem). In the present paper, semiperfect semigroups are characterized within a certain class of semigroups. The paper ends with a necessary condition for the semiperfectness of a finitely generated...
The Stieltjes moment problem is studied in the framework of general Gelfand-Shilov spaces, subspaces of the space of rapidly decreasing smooth complex functions, which are defined by imposing suitable bounds on their elements in terms of a given sequence M. Necessary and sufficient conditions on M are stated for the problem to have a solution, sometimes coming with linear continuous right inverses of the moment map, sending a function to the sequence of its moments. On the way, some results on the...
An abelian -semigroup is perfect (resp. Stieltjes perfect) if every positive definite (resp. completely so) function on admits a unique disintegration as an integral of hermitian multiplicative functions (resp. nonnegative such). We prove that every Stieltjes perfect semigroup is perfect. The converse has been known for semigroups with neutral element, but is here shown to be not true in general. We prove that an abelian -semigroup is perfect if for each there exist and such that ...
