Decompositions of operator-valued functions in Hilbert spaces
In a former paper we describe the geometric properties of the space of continuous functions with values in the space of operators acting on a Hilbert space. In particular we show that dent B(L(H)) = ext B(L(H)) if dim H < 8 and card K < 8 and dent B(L(H)) = 0 if dim H < 8 or card K = 8, and x-ext C(K,L(H)) = ext C(K,L(H)).
We give universal upper bounds on the relative dimensions of isotypic components of a tensor product of representations of the linear group GL(n) and universal upper bounds on the relative dimensions of irreducible components of a tensor product of representations of the special linear group SL(n). This problem is motivated by harmonic analysis problems, and we give some applications to the theory of Beurling-Fourier algebras.
