Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian topological group. For locally bounded measurable functions $φ: G\to\Bbb {C}$ we discuss notions of spectra for $φ$ relative to subalgebras of $L^{1}(G)$. In particular we study polynomials on $G$ and determine their spectra. We also characterize the primary ideals of certain Beurling algebras $L_{w}^{1}(\Bbb Z)$ on the group of integers $\Bbb Z$. This allows us to classify those elements of $L_{w}^{1}(G)$ that have finite spectrum. If $φ$ is a uniformly continuous function whose differences are bounded, there is a Beurling algebra naturally associated with $φ$. We give a condition on the spectrum of $φ$ relative to this algebra which ensures that $φ$ is bounded. Finally we give spectral conditions on a bounded function on $\Bbb R$ that ensure that its indefinite integral is bounded.
For a locally compact group $G$ and $p \in (1,\infty)$, we define and study the Beurling-Figa-Talamanca-Herz algebras $A_p(G,ω)$. For $p=2$ and abelian $G$, these are precisely the Beurling algebras on the dual group $\hat{G}$. For $p =2$ and compact $G$, our approach subsumes an earlier one by H. H. Lee and E. Samei. The key to our approach is not to define Beurling algebras through weights, i.e., possibly unbounded continuous functions, but rather through their inverses, which are bounded continuous functions. We prove that a locally compact group $G$ is amenable if and only if one - and, eq…
We show how the measure theory of regular compacted-Borel measures defined on the $δ$-ring of compacted-Borel subsets of a weighted locally compact group $(G,ω)$ provides a compatible framework for defining the corresponding Beurling measure algebra ${\cal M}(G,ω)$, thus filling a gap in the literature.
Let $L^1_\om(G)$ be a Beurling algebra on a locally compact abelian group $G$. We look for general conditions on the weight which allows the vanishing of continuous derivations of $L^1_\om(G)$. This leads us to introducing vector-valued Beurling algebras and considering the translation of operators on them. This is then used to connect the augmentation ideal to the behavior of derivation space. We apply these results to give examples of various classes of Beurling algebras which are weakly amenable, 2-weakly amenable or fail to be even 2-weakly amenable.
Amenability and pseudo-amenability of $ \ell^{1}(S,ω) $ is characterized, where $S$ is a left (right) zero semigroup or it is a rectangular band semigroup. The equivalence conditions to amenability of $\ell^{1}(S,ω)$ are provided, where $ S $ is a band semigroup. For a locally compact group $G$, pseudo-amenability of $ \ell^{1}(G,ω) $ is also discussed.
In a recent paper, M. Raghupathi has extended the famous theorem of Beurling to the context of subspaces that are invariant under the class of subalgebras of $H^\infty$ of the form $IH^\infty$, where $I$ is an inner function. In this paper, we provide analouges of the above mentioned $IH^\infty$ related extension of Beurling's theorem to the context of uniform algebras, on compact abelian groups with ordered duals, the Lebesgue space on the real line and in the setting of the space $BMOA$. We also provide a significant simplification of the proof of the Beurling's theorem in the setting of uni…
We introduce the class of Beurling-Fourier algebras on locally compact groups and show that they are non-commutative analogs of classical Beurling algebras. We obtain various results with regard to the operator amenability, operator weak amenability and Arens regularity of Beurling-Fourier algebras on compact groups and show that they behave very similarly to the classical Beurling algebras of discrete groups. We then apply our results to study explicitly the Beurling-Fourier algebras on SU(2), the 2 $\times$ 2 unitary group. We demonstrate that how Beurling-Fourier algebras are closely connec…
For a locally compact Abelian group $G$ and a continuous weight function $ω$ on $G$ we show that the Beurling algebra $L^1(G, ω)$ is weakly amenable if and only if there is no nontrivial continuous group homomorphism $ϕ$: $G\to \mathbb{C}$ such that $\sup_{t\in G}\frac{|ϕ(t)|}{ω(t)ω(t^{-1})} < \infty$. Let $\hatω(t) = \limsup_{s\to \infty}ω(ts)/ω(s)$ ($t\in G$). Then $L^1(G, ω)$ is 2-weakly amenable if there is a constant $m> 0$ such that $\liminf_{n\to \infty}\frac{ω(t^n)\hatω(t^{-n})}{n} \leq m$ for all $t\in G$.
The object of this paper is to prove a version of the Beurling-Helson-Lowdenslager invariant subspace theorem for operators on certain Banach spaces of functions on a multiply connected domain in the complex plane. The norms for these spaces are either the usual Lebesgue and Hardy space norms or certain continuous gauge norms. In the Hardy space case the expected corollaries include the characterization of the cyclic vectors as the outer functions in this context, a demonstration that the set of analytic multiplication operators is maximal abelian and reflexive, and a determination of the clos…
Weak amenability of a weighted group algebra, or a Beurling algebra, is a long-standing open problem. The commutative case has been extensively investigated and fully characterized. We study the non-commutative case. Given a weight function $ω$ on a locally compact group $G$, we characterize derivations from $L^1(G,ω)$ into its dual in terms of certain functions. Then we show that for a locally compact IN group $G$, if there is a non-zero continuous group homomorphism $φ$: $G\to \mathbb{C}$ such that $φ(x)/ω(x)ω(x^{-1})$ is bounded on $G$, then $L^1(G,ω)$ is not weakly amenable. Some useful cr…
We investigate Beurling-Fourier algebras, a weighted version of Fourier algebras, on various Lie groups focusing on their spectral analysis. We will introduce a refined general definition of weights on the dual of locally compact groups and their associated Beurling-Fourier algebras. Constructions of nontrivial weights will be presented focusing on the cases of representative examples of Lie groups, namely $SU(n)$, the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$, the reduced Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}_r$, the Euclidean motion group $E(2)$ and its simply connected cover $\widetilde{E}(2)$. We will determin…
We introduce and study "norm-multiplicative" homomorphisms $φ: {\cal L}^1(F) \rightarrow {\cal M}_r(G)$ between group and measure algebras, and $φ: {\cal L}^1(ω_F) \rightarrow {\cal M}(ω_G)$ between Beurling group and measure algebras, where $F$ and $G$ are locally compact groups with continuous weights $ω_F$ and $ω_G$. Through a unified approach we recover, and sometimes strengthen, many of the main known results concerning homomorphisms and isomorphisms between these (Beurling) group and measure algebras. We provide a first description of all positive homomorphisms $φ: {\cal L}^1(F) \rightar…
Criterion of (Shilov) regularity for weighted algebras $L_1^w(G)$ on a locally compact abelian group $G$ is known by works of Beurling (1949) and Domar (1956). In the present paper this criterion is extended to translation invariant weighted algebras $L_p^w(G)$ with $p>1$. Regular algebras $L_p^w(G)$ are constructed on any sigma-compact abelian group $G$. It was proved earlier by the author that sigma-compactness is necessary (in the abelian case) for the existence of weighted algebras $L_p^w(G)$ with $p>1$.
Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group and $Λ$ be a closed subgroup of the dual group $\widehat{G}$. In this paper, we investigate modulation preserving operators with respect to $Λ$, and give a characterization of them in terms of range operators.
If an open subgroup of the group of the invertible measures on a LCA group is isometric to another, then the correspoinding underlying LCA groups are topologically isomorphic to each other.
We study translation preserving operators, that is operators commuting with translations by a closed subgroup of a locally compact abelian group. We show that there is a one to one correspondence between these operators and range operators. Furthermore, we obtain a necessary condition for a translation preserving operator to be Hilbert Schmidt or of finite trace in terms of its range operator.
We present characterizations of democratic property for systems of translates on a general locally compact abelian group, along a lattice in that group. That way we generalize the results from [11] on systems of integer translates. Furthermore, we investigate the possibilities of more operative characterizations for lattices with torsion group structure, mainly through examples and counterexamples.
By using a coset of closed subgroup, we define a Fourier like transform for locally compact abelian (LCA) topological groups. We studied two wavelet multipliers and Landau-Pollak-Slepian operators on locally compact abelian topological groups associated to the transform and show that the transforms are $L^p$bounded linear operators, and are in Schatten p-class for $1\leq p\leq \infty$. Finally, we determine their trace class and also obtain a connection with the generalized Landau-Pollak-Slepian operators.
We define and investigate modulation invariant spaces on a locally compact abelian group $G$ with respect to a closed subgroup of the dual group $\widehat{G}$. Using a range function approach, we establish a characterization of modulation invariant spaces. Finally, we define a metric on the collection of all modulation invariant spaces and study some topological properties of the metric space.
We study multiplier algebras for a large class of Banach algebras which contains the group algebra $L_1(G)$, the Beurling algebras $L_1(G, ω)$, and the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$. This study yields numerous new results and unifies some existing theorems on $L_1(G)$ and $A(G)$ through an abstract Banach algebraic approach. Applications are obtained on representations of multipliers over locally compact quantum groups and on topological centre problems. In particular, five open problems in abstract harmonic analysis are solved.
We introduce new quasi-Banach modulation spaces on locally compact abelian (LCA) groups which coincide with the classical ones in the Banach setting and prove their main properties. Then we study Gabor frames on quasi-lattices, significantly extending the original theory introduced by Gröchenig and Strohmer. These issues are the key tools in showing boundedness results for Kohn-Nirenberg and localization operators on modulation spaces and studying their eigenfunctions' properties. In particular, the results in the Euclidean space are recaptured.
Let $G$ be an LCA group, $H$ a closed subgroup, $\varGamma$ the dual group of $G$. In accordance with analogous notions in prediction theory the classes of $H$-regular and $H$-singular Borel measures on $Γ$ are defined. A characterization of $H$-regular measures is given and a Wold type decomposition is obtained.
We consider Fourier transform of vector-valued functions on a locally compact group $G$, which take value in a Banach space $X$, and are square-integrable in Bochner sense. If $G$ is a finite group then Fourier transform is a bounded operator. If $G$ is an infinite group then Fourier transform $F: L_2(G,X)\to L_2(\widehat G,X)$ is a bounded operator if and only if Banach space $X$ is isomorphic to a Hilbert one.
The family of harmonic Hilbert spaces is a natural enlargement of those classical $L^{2}$-Sobolev space on $\R^d$ which consist of continuous functions. In the present paper we demonstrate that the use of basic results from the theory of Wiener amalgam spaces allows to establish fundamental properties of harmonic Hilbert spaces even if they are defined over an arbitrary locally compact abelian group $\G$. Even for $\G = \R^{d}$ this new approach improves previously known results. In this paper we present results on minimal norm interpolators over lattices and show that the infinite minimal nor…
In this paper, we study weak amenability of Beurling algebras. To this end, we introduce the notion inner quasi-additive functions and prove that for a locally compact group $G$, the Banach algebra $L^1(G, ω)$ is weakly amenable if and only if every non-inner quasi-additive function in $L^\infty(G, 1/ω)$ is unbounded. This provides an answer to the question concerning weak amenability of $L^1(G, ω)$ and improve some known results in connection with it.
The unitary extension principle (UEP) by Ron and Shen yields conditions for the construction of a multi-generated tight wavelet frame for $L^2(\mr^s)$ based on a given refinable function. In this paper we show that the UEP can be generalized to locally compact abelian groups. In the general setting, the resulting frames are generated by modulates of a collection of functions, via the Fourier transform this corresponds to a generalized shift-invariant system. Both the stationary and the nonstationary case are covered. We provide general constructions, based on B-splines on the group itself as w…
For a second countable locally compact abelian (LCA) group $G$, we study some necessary and sufficient conditions to generate continuous Gabor frames for $L^{2}(G)$. To this end, we reformulate the generalized Zak transform proposed by Grochenig in the case of integer-oversampled lattices, however our formulation rely on the assumption that both translation and modulation groups are only closed subgroups. Moreover, we discuss the possibility of such generalization and apply several examples to demonestrate the necessity of standing conditions in the results. Finally, by using the generalized Z…
The author was recently able to provide a cohomological interpretation of Tate's Riemann-Roch formula for number fields using some new harmonic analysis objects, ghost-spaces. When trying to investigate these objects in general, we realized the importance of functions and measures on locally compact abelian groups that are both positive and positive-definite at the same time. It looks like this class of functions and measures was not systematically studied before. The goal of this paper is to partially fill in this gap. We answer some of the natural questions involving these functions and meas…
Let $G$ be a semi-direct product $G=A\times_ϕK$ with $A$ Abelian and $K$ compact. We characterize spread-out probability measures on $G$ that are mixing by convolutions by means of their Fourier transforms. A key tool is a spectral radius formula for the Fourier transform of a regular Borel measure on $G$ that we develop, and which is analogous to the well-known Beurling--Gelfand spectral radius formula. For spread-out probability measures on $G$, we also characterize ergodicity by means of the Fourier transform of the measure. Finally, we show that spread-out probability measures on such grou…
We give a characterization of hypercyclic using (locally hypercyclic) of semigroup G of affine maps of C^n. We prove the existence of a G-invariant open subset of C^n in which any locally hypercyclic orbit is dense in C^n.
Rajchman measures of locally compact Abelian groups are studied for almost a century now, and they play an important role in the study of trigonometric series. Eymard's influential work allowed generalizing these measures to the case of \emph{non-Abelian} locally compact groups $G$. The Rajchman algebra of $G$, which we denote by $B_0(G)$, is the set of all elements of the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra that vanish at infinity. In the present article, we characterize the locally compact groups that have amenable Rajchman algebras. We show that $B_0(G)$ is amenable if and only if $G$ is compact and …
In this work we extend classical structure and duality results in Gabor analysis on the euclidean space to the setting of second countable locally compact abelian (LCA) groups. We formulate the concept of rationally oversampling of Gabor systems in an LCA group and prove corresponding characterization results via the Zak transform. From these results we derive non-existence results for critically sampled continuous Gabor frames. We obtain general characterizations in time and in frequency domain of when two Gabor generators yield dual frames. Moreover, we prove the Walnut and Janssen represent…
For a locally compact abelian group $G$ a simple proof is given for the known fact that a bounded domain $Ω$ tiles $G$ with translations by a lattice $Λ$ if and only if the set of characters of $G$ indexed by the dual lattice of $Λ$ is an orthogonal basis of $L^2(Ω).$ The proof uses simple techniques from Harmonic Analysis.
We investigate pseudodifferential operators on arbitrary locally compact abelian groups. As symbol classes for the Kohn-Nirenberg calculus we introduce a version of Sjoestrand's class. Pseudodifferential operators with such symbols form a Banach algebra that is closed under inversion. Since "hard analysis" techniques are not available on locally compact abelian groups, a new time-frequency approach is used with the emphasis on modulation spaces, Gabor frames, and Banach algebras of matrices. Sjoestrand's original results are thus understood as a phenomenon of abstract harmonic analysis rather …
For a locally compact Abelian group $G$, the algebra of Rajchman measures, denoted by $M_0(G)$, is the set of all bounded regular Borel measures on $G$ whose Fourier transform vanish at infinity. In this paper, we investigate the spectral structure of the algebra of Rajchman measures, and illustrate aspects of the residual analytic structure of its maximal ideal space. In particular, we show that $M_0(G)$ has a nonzero continuous point derivation, whenever $G$ is a non-discrete locally compact Abelian group. We then give the definition of the Rajchman algebra for a general (not necessarily Abe…
Motivated by the recent work of Bownik and Ross \cite{BR}, and Jakobsen and Lemvig \cite{JL}, this article generalizes latest results on reproducing formulas for generalized translation invariant (GTI) systems to the setting of super-spaces over a second countable locally compact abelian (LCA) group $G$. To do so, we introduce the notion of a super-GTI system with finite sequences as generators from a super-space $L^2(G) \oplus \cdots \oplus L^2(G) $ ($N$ summands). We characterize the generators of two super-GTI systems in the super-space such that they form a super-dual frame pair. For this,…
We obtain a characterisation of the Fourier transform on the space of Schwartz-Bruhat functions on locally compact Abelian groups. The result states that any appropriately additive bijection of the Schwartz space onto itself, which interchanges convolution and pointwise products is essentially the Fourier transform. The proof of this result is very similar to that obtained by the author recently for the Euclidean Fourier transform.

Akbarov's theory of holomorphic reflexivity for topological Hopf algebras has been developed in two directions, namely, by the complication of definitions when expanding the scope and by their simplification when restricting. In the framework of the latter approach, we establish the holomorphic reflexivity for topological Hopf algebras associated with locally finite countable groups and second-countable profinite groups. In the Abelian case, the reflexivity is described in terms close to the classical ones.
We find classes of nonlocal operators of Schrödinger type on a locally compact noncompact Abelian group $G$, for which there exists a ground state. In particular, such a result is obtained for the case where the principal part of our operator generates a recurrent random walk. Explicit conditions for the existence of a ground state are obtained for the case $G =\mathbb Q_p^n$ where $\mathbb Q_p$ is the field of $p$-adic numbers.
Inspired by an extension of Wiener's lemma on the relation of measures $μ$ on the unit circle and their Fourier coefficients $\widehatμ(k_n)$ along subsequences $(k_n)$ of the natural numbers by Cuny, Eisner and Farkas [CEF19, arXiv:1701.00101], we study the validity of the lemma when the Fourier coefficients are weighted by a sequence of probability measures. By using convergence with respect to a filter derived from these measure sequences, we obtain similar results, now also allowing the consideration of locally compact abelian groups other than $\mathbb{T}$ and $\mathbb{R}$. As an applicat…
Let $Λ$ be a lattice in a second countable, locally compact abelian group $G$ with annihilator $Λ^{\perp} \subseteq \widehat{G}$. We investigate the validity of the following statement: For every $η$ in the Feichtinger algebra $S_0(G)$, the Gabor system $\{ M_τ T_λ η\}_{λ\in Λ, τ\in Λ^{\perp}}$ is not a frame for $L^2(G)$. When $G = \mathbb{R}$ and $Λ= α\mathbb{Z}$, this statement is a variant of the Balian-Low theorem. Extending a result of R. Balan, we show that whether the statement generalizes to $(G,Λ)$ is equivalent to the nontriviality of a certain vector bundle over the compact space $…
