Euclidean Buildings

AbstractLet $G$ be a locally compact group acting properly, by type-preserving automorphisms on a locally finite thick Euclidean building $\Delta $, and $K$ be the stabilizer of a special vertex in $\Delta $. It is known that $(G, K)$ is a Gelfand pair as soon as $G$ acts strongly transitively on $\Delta $; in particular, this is the case when $G$ is a semi-simple algebraic group over a local field. We show a converse to this statement, namely that if $(G, K)$ is a Gelfand pair and $G$ acts cocompactly on $\Delta $, then the action is strongly transitive. The proof uses the existence of strongly regular hyperbolic elements in $G$ and their peculiar dynamics on the spherical building at infinity. Other equivalent formulations are also obtained, including the fact that $G$ is strongly transitive on $\Delta $ if and only if it is strongly transitive on the spherical building at infinity.

Abstract In this paper, we study topological groups having all closed subgroups (totally) minimal and we call such groups c-(totally) minimal. We show that a locally compact c-minimal connected group is compact. Using a well-known theorem of [P. Hall and C. R. Kulatilaka, A property of locally finite groups, J. Lond. Math. Soc. 39 1964, 235–239] and a characterization of a certain class of Lie groups, due to [S. K. Grosser and W. N. Herfort, Abelian subgroups of topological groups, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 283 1984, 1, 211–223], we prove that a c-minimal locally solvable Lie group is compact. It is shown that a topological group G is c-(totally) minimal if and only if G has a compact normal subgroup N such that G / N G/N is c-(totally) minimal. Applying this result, we prove that a locally compact group G is c-totally minimal if and only if its connected component c ⁢ ( G ) c(G) is compact and G / c ⁢ ( G ) G/c(G) is c-totally minimal. Moreover, a c-totally minimal group that is either complete solvable or strongly compactly covered must be compact. Negatively answering [D. Dikranjan and M. Megrelishvili, Minimality conditions in topological groups, Recent Progress in General Topology. III, Atlantis Press, Paris 2014, 229–327, Question 3.10 (b)], we find, in contrast, a totally minimal solvable (even metabelian) Lie group that is not compact.

Uniform Tree

A uniform tree is a tree that covers a finite connected graph. Let X be any locally finite tree. Then G = Aut(X) is a locally compact group. We show that if X is uniform, and if the restriction of G to the unique minimal G-invariant subtree X0 ⊆ X is not discrete then G contains non-uniform lattices; that is, discrete subgroups Γ for which Γ/G is not compact, yet carries a finite G-invariant measure. This proves a conjecture of Bass and Lubotzky for the existence of non-uniform lattices on uniform trees.

AbstractLet G be a second countable locally compact group possessing a normal subgroup N with G/N abelian. We prove that if G/N is discrete then G has T1 primitive ideal space if and only if the G-quasiorbits in Prim N are closed. This condition on G-quasiorbits arose in Pukanzky's work on connected and simply connected solvable Lie groups where it is equivalent to the condition of Auslander and Moore that G be type R on N (-nilradical). Using an abstract version of Pukanzky's arguments due to Green and Pedersen we establish that if G is a connected and simply connected Lie group then Prim G is T1 whenever G-quasiorbits in [G, G] are closed.

AbstractWe investigate the wavelet spaces $$\mathcal {W}_{g}(\mathcal {H}_{\pi })\subset L^{2}(G)$$ W g ( H π ) ⊂ L 2 ( G ) arising from square integrable representations $$\pi :G \rightarrow \mathcal {U}(\mathcal {H}_{\pi })$$ π : G → U ( H π ) of a locally compact group G. We show that the wavelet spaces are rigid in the sense that non-trivial intersection between them imposes strong restrictions. Moreover, we use this to derive consequences for wavelet transforms related to convexity and functions of positive type. Motivated by the reproducing kernel Hilbert space structure of wavelet spaces we examine an interpolation problem. In the setting of time–frequency analysis, this problem turns out to be equivalent to the HRT-conjecture. Finally, we consider the problem of whether all the wavelet spaces $$\mathcal {W}_{g}(\mathcal {H}_{\pi })$$ W g ( H π ) of a locally compact group G collectively exhaust the ambient space $$L^{2}(G)$$ L 2 ( G ) . We show that the answer is affirmative for compact groups, while negative for the reduced Heisenberg group.

Abstract We generalize the well-known Baker's superstability result for the d'Alembert functional equation with values in the field of complex numbers to the case of the integral equation where 𝐺 is a locally compact group, μ is a generalized Gelfand measure and σ is a continuous involution of 𝐺.

We initiate the study of the completely bounded multipliers of the Haagerup tensor product [Formula: see text] of two copies of the Fourier algebra [Formula: see text] of a locally compact group [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] is a closed subset of [Formula: see text] we let [Formula: see text] and show that if [Formula: see text] is a set of spectral synthesis for [Formula: see text] then [Formula: see text] is a set of local spectral synthesis for [Formula: see text]. Conversely, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is a set of spectral synthesis for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a Moore group then [Formula: see text] is a set of spectral synthesis for [Formula: see text]. Using the natural identification of the space of all completely bounded weak* continuous [Formula: see text]-bimodule maps with the dual of [Formula: see text], we show that, in the case [Formula: see text] is weakly amenable, such a map leaves the multiplication algebra of [Formula: see text] invariant if and only if its support is contained in the antidiagonal of [Formula: see text].

SynopsisWe consider automorphic actions on von Neumann algebras of a locally compact group E given as a topological extension 0 → A → E → G → 0, where A is compact abelian and second countable. Motivated by the wish to describe and classify ergodic actions of E when G is finite, we classify (up to conjugacy) first the ergodic actions of locally compact groups on finite-dimensional factors and then compact abelian actions with the property that the fixed-point algebra is of type I with atomic centre. We then handle the case of ergodic actions of E with the property that the action is already ergodic when restricted to A, and then, as a generalisation, the case of (not necessarily ergodic) actions of E with the property that the restriction to A is an action with abelian atomic fixed-point algebra. Both these cases are handled for general locally compact-countable G. Finally, we combine the obtained results to classify the ergodic actions of E when G is finite, provided that either the extension is central and Hom (G, T) = 0, or G is abelian and either cyclic or of an order not divisible by a square.

Let L≀X be a lamplighter graph, i.e., the graph-analogue of a wreath product of groups, and let P be the transition operator (matrix) of a random walk on that structure. We explain how methods developed by Saloff-Coste and the author can be applied for determining the ℓp-norms and spectral radii of P, if one has an amenable (not necessarily discrete or unimodular) locally compact group of isometries that acts transitively on L. This applies, in particular, to wreath products K≀G of finitely-generated groups, where K is amenable. As a special case, this comprises a result of Żuk regarding the ℓ2-spectral radius of symmetric random walks on such groups.
