Covariant functions of characters of compact subgroups
AbstractThis paper presents a systematic study for abstract harmonic analysis on classical Banach spaces of covariant functions of characters of compact subgroups. Let G be a locally compact group and H be a compact subgroup of G. Suppose that $$\xi :H\rightarrow \mathbb {T}$$ ξ : H → T is a character, $$1\le p<\infty$$ 1 ≤ p < ∞ and $$L_\xi ^p(G,H)$$ L ξ p ( G , H ) is the set of all covariant functions of $$\xi$$ ξ in $$L^p(G)$$ L p ( G ) . It is shown that $$L^p_\xi (G,H)$$ L ξ p ( G , H ) is isometrically isomorphic to a quotient space of $$L^p(G)$$ L p ( G ) . It is also proven that $$L^q_\xi (G,H)$$ L ξ q ( G , H ) is isometrically isomorphic to the dual space $$L^p_\xi (G,H)^*$$ L ξ p ( G , H ) ∗ , where q is the conjugate exponent of p. The paper is concluded by some results for the case that G is compact.
