For a function algebra A let ∂A be the Shilov boundary, δA the Choquet boundary, p(A) the set of p-points, and |A| = |f|: f ∈ A. Let X and Y be locally compact Hausdorff spaces and A ⊂ C(X) and B ⊂ C(Y) be dense subalgebras of function algebras without units, such that X = ∂A, Y = ∂B and p(A) = δA, p(B) = δB. We show that if Φ: |A| → |B| is an increasing bijection which is sup-norm-multiplicative, i.e. ||Φ(|f|)Φ(|g|)|| = ||fg||, f,g ∈ A, then there is a homeomorphism ψ: p(B) → p(A) with respect...
We show that if ϕ is a continuous homomorphism between weighted convolution algebras on ℝ⁺, then its extension to the corresponding measure algebras is always weak* continuous. A key step in the proof is showing that our earlier result that normalized powers of functions in a convolution algebra on ℝ⁺ go to zero weak* is also true for most measures in the corresponding measure algebra. For some algebras, we can determine precisely which measures have normalized powers converging to zero weak*. We...
Let G be a locally compact group, K a compact subgroup of G and A(G/K) the Fourier algebra of the coset space G/K. Applying results from [E. Kaniuth, Weak spectral synthesis in commutative Banach algebras, J. Funct. Anal. 254 (2008), 987-1002], we establish injection and localization theorems relating weak spectral sets and weak Ditkin sets for A(G/K) to such sets for A(H/H ∩ K), where H is a closed subgroup of G. We also prove some results towards the analogue of Malliavin's theorem for weak spectral...
It is shown that if G is a weakly amenable unimodular group then the Banach algebra , where is the Figà-Talamanca-Herz Banach algebra of G, is a dual Banach space with the Radon-Nikodym property if 1 ≤ r ≤ max(p,p’). This does not hold if p = 2 and r > 2.
We consider the set of complex-valued homomorphisms of a uniform algebra which are weak-star continuous with respect to a fixed measure . The -parts of are defined, and a decomposition theorem for measures in is obtained, in which constituent summands are mutually absolutely continuous with respect to representing measures. The set is studied for -invariant algebras on compact subsets of the complex plane and also for the infinite polydisc algebra.
Let ω be a weight on an LCA group G. Let M(G,ω) consist of the Radon measures μ on G such that ωμ is a regular complex Borel measure on G. It is proved that: (i) M(G,ω) is regular iff M(G,ω) has unique uniform norm property (UUNP) iff L¹(G,ω) has UUNP and G is discrete; (ii) M(G,ω) has a minimum uniform norm iff L¹(G,ω) has UUNP; (iii) M₀₀(G,ω) is regular iff M₀₀(G,ω) has UUNP iff L¹(G,ω) has UUNP, where M₀₀(G,ω) := {μ ∈ M(G,ω) : μ̂ = 0 on Δ(M(G,ω))∖Δ(L¹(G,ω))}.
In the last decade it has become clear that one of the central themes within Gabor analysis (with respect to general time-frequency lattices) is a duality theory for Gabor frames, including the Wexler-Raz biorthogonality condition, the Ron-Shen duality principle and the Janssen representation of a Gabor frame operator. All these results are closely connected with the so-called Fundamental Identity of Gabor Analysis, which we derive from an application of Poisson's summation formula for the symplectic...
