Abstract Let $(G_1,\omega _1)$ and $(G_2,\omega _2)$ be weighted discrete groups and $0\lt p\leq 1$ . We characterise biseparating bicontinuous algebra isomorphisms on the p-Banach algebra $\ell ^p(G_1,\omega _1)$ . We also characterise bipositive and isometric algebra isomorphisms between the p-Banach algebras $\ell ^p(G_1,\omega _1)$ and $\ell ^p(G_2,\omega _2)$ and isometric algebra isomorphisms between $\ell ^p(S_1,\omega _1)$ and $\ell ^p(S_2,\omega _2)$ , where $(S_1,\omega _1)$ and $(S_2,\omega _2)$ are weighted discrete semigroups.

There are notions of L2-Betti numbers for discrete groups (Cheeger–Gromov, Lück), for type II1-factors (recent work of Connes-Shlyakhtenko) and for countable standard equivalence relations (Gaboriau). Whereas the first two are algebraically defined using Lück's dimension theory, Gaboriau's definition of the latter is inspired by the work of Cheeger and Gromov. In this work we give a definition of L2-Betti numbers of discrete measured groupoids that is based on Lück's dimension theory, thereby encompassing the cases of groups, equivalence relations and holonomy groupoids with an invariant measure for a complete transversal. We show that with our definition, like with Gaboriau's, the L2-Betti numbers [Formula: see text] of a countable group G coincide with the L2-Betti numbers [Formula: see text] of the orbit equivalence relation [Formula: see text] of a free action of G on a probability space. This yields a new proof of the fact the L2-Betti numbers of groups with orbit equivalent actions coincide.

We express each Clebsch–Gordan (CG) coefficient of a discrete group as a product of a CG coefficient of its subgroup and a factor, which we call an embedding factor. With an appropriate definition, such factors are fixed up to phase ambiguities. Particularly, they are invariant under basis transformations of irreducible representations of both the group and its subgroup. We then impose on the embedding factors constraints, which relate them to their counterparts under complex conjugate and therefore restrict the phases of embedding factors. In some cases, the phase ambiguities are reduced to sign ambiguities. We describe the procedure of obtaining embedding factors and then calculate CG coefficients of the group [Formula: see text] in terms of embedding factors of its subgroups [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].
