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.

IfHis a closed subgroup of a locally compact groupG, withG/Hhaving finiteG-invariant measure, then, as observed by Atle Selberg [8], for any neighborhoodUof the identity inGand any elementginG, there is an integern >0 such thatgnis inU·H·U.A subgroup satisfying this latter condition is said to be anS-sub group,or satisfiesproperty (S).IfGis a solvable Lie group, then the converse of Selberg's result has been proved by S. P. Wang [10]: IfHis a closedS-subgroup ofG,thenG/His compact. Property(S)has been used by A. Borel in the important “density theorem” (see Section 2 or [1]).

Abstract Suppose G is an amenable locally compact group with lattice subgroup $\Gamma $ . Grosvenor [‘A relation between invariant means on Lie groups and invariant means on their discrete subgroups’, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.288(2) (1985), 813–825] showed that there is a natural affine injection $\iota : {\text {LIM}}(\Gamma )\to {\text {TLIM}}(G)$ and that $\iota $ is a surjection essentially in the case $G={\mathbb R}^d$ , $\Gamma ={\mathbb Z}^d$ . In the present paper it is shown that $\iota $ is a surjection if and only if $G/\Gamma $ is compact.

AbstractLet P be a Markov operator on L∞(X, Σ, m) which does not disappear (i.e., P1A ≡ 0 => 1A ≡ 0 ) . We study the relationship between the σ-algebras(the deterministicσ-algebra), and the asymptoticσ-algebraWhen m is a σ-finite invariant measure, measurable iff p*npnf = f, and also iff Pnf has the same distribution as f . The case of a convolution operator on a locally compact group is considered.

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].

AbstractIt has been shown by J. Feldman, P. Hahn and C. C. Moore that every non-singular action of a second countable locally compact group has a countable (in fact so-called lacunary) complete measurable section. This is extended here to the purely Borel theoretic category, consisting of a Borel action of such a group on an analytic Borel space (without any measure). Characterizations of when an arbitrary Borel equivalence relation admits a countable complete Borel section are also established.
