If f is a p–th integrable function on the circle group and ω(p; f; δ) is its mean modulus of continuity with exponent p then an extended version of the classical theorem of Jackson states the for each positive integer n, there exists a trigonometric polynomial tn of degree at most n for which‖f-tn‖p ≤(p; f; 1/n).In this paper it will be shewn that for G a Hausdorff locally compact abelian group, the algebra L1(G) admits a certain bounded positive approximate unit which, in turn, will be used to prove an analogue of the above result for Lp(G).

Let G be a Hausdorff locally compact abelian group. The author has shown (Bull. Austral. Math. Soc. 10 (1974), 59–66) that, given ε > 0 and a certain base {Vi}i∈I of symmetric open neighbourhoods of zero, the algebra L1(G) admits a bounded positive approximate unit {ki}i∈I such that for every p–th integrable function f on G,where ω(p; f; Vi) denotes the mean modulus of continuity with exponent p of f. The purpose of this paper is to obtain {ki}i∈I (as above) with a simple dependence of supp on {ki}i∈I on Vi; this is achieved for finite products and homomorphic images of groups for which such a simple dependence is known. The results obtained are used to give a simplified proof of the classical Jackson's Theorem for the circle group, and an analogue of this theorem for the a-adic solenoid.

Let x1, x2, x3 be independent random variables with values in a locally compact Abelian group X with nonvanish- ing characteristic functions, and aj, bj be continuous endomorphisms of X satisfying some restrictions. Let L1 = a1x1 + a2x2 + a3x3, L2 = b1x1 + b2x2 + b3x3. It was proved that the distribution of the random vector (L1; L2) determines the distributions of the random variables xj up a shift. This result is a group analogue of the well-known C.R. Rao theorem. We also prove an analogue of another C.R. Rao’s theorem for independent random variables with values in an a-adic solenoid.

AbstractAccording to the Skitovich–Darmois theorem, the independence of two linear forms of n independent random variables implies that the random variables are Gaussian. We consider the case where independent random variables take values in a second countable locally compact abelian group X, and coefficients of the forms are topological automorphisms of X. We describe a wide class of groups X for which a group-theoretic analogue of the Skitovich–Darmois theorem holds true when n=2.

Let G be a nondiscrete locally compact Hausdorff abelian group. It is shown that if G contains an open torsion subgroup, then every proper dense subgroup of G is contained in a maximal subgroup; while if G has no open torsion subgroup, then it has a dense subgroup D such that G/D is algebraically isomorphic to R, the additive group of reals. With each G, containing an open torsion subgroup, we associate the least positive integer n such that the nth multiple of every discontinuous character of G is continuous. The following are proved equivalent for a nondiscrete locally compact abelian group G:(1) The intersection of any two dense subgroups of G is dense in G.(2) The intersection of all dense subgroups of G is dense in G.(3) G contains an open torsion subgroup, and for each prime p dividing the positive integer associated with G, pG is either open or a proper dense subgroup of G.Finally, we construct a locally compact abelian group G with infinitely many dense subgroups satisfying the three equivalent conditions stated above.

1. Introduction. We are concerned with measures µ, in the measure algebra M(G) of a locally compact Abelian group G, which have independent (mutually singular) powers. In (6), Williamson showed that the spectrum, σ(µ) of a Hermitian independent power measure µ satisfying ∥µ∥n=∥µn∥ for positive integer n, contains an infinity of points on the real axis. He conjectured that, in fact, σ(µ) is the disc {λ:|λ|≤∥µ∥}. Taylor (5), has recently proved that, in the case G = R, any positive continuous independent power µ has σ(µ) = {λ:|λ|≤∥µ∥}. His methods depend on his deep and beautiful theory of critical points. Here we verify Williamson's conjecture, give an elementary proof of Taylor's result, and give a simple characterization of the class of LCA groups for which the natural generalization is valid.

AbstractIn this paper, we consider the problem of characterizing positive definite functions on compact two-point homogeneous spaces cross locally compact abelian groups. For a locally compact abelian group $G$ with dual group $\widehat{G}$, a compact two-point homogeneous space $\mathbb{H}$ with normalized geodesic distance $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}$ and a profile function $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}:[-1,1]\times G\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ satisfying certain continuity and integrability assumptions, we show that the positive definiteness of the kernel $((x,u),(y,v))\in (\mathbb{H}\times G)^{2}\mapsto \unicode[STIX]{x1D719}(\cos \unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}(x,y),uv^{-1})$ is equivalent to the positive definiteness of the Fourier transformed kernels $(x,y)\in \mathbb{H}^{2}\mapsto \widehat{\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}}_{\cos \unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}(x,y)}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE})$, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}\in \widehat{G}$, where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{t}(u)=\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}(t,u)$, $u\in G$. We also provide some results on the strict positive definiteness of the kernel.

The Extremal Function

AbstractThis paper is concerned with a Delsarte-type extremal problem. Denote by $${\mathcal {P}}(G)$$ P ( G ) the set of positive definite continuous functions on a locally compact abelian group G. We consider the function class, which was originally introduced by Gorbachev, $$\begin{aligned}&{\mathcal {G}}(W, Q)_G = \left\{ f \in {\mathcal {P}}(G) \cap L^1(G)~:\right. \\&\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \left. f(0) = 1, ~ {\text {supp}}{f_+} \subseteq W,~ {\text {supp}}{\widehat{f}} \subseteq Q \right\} \end{aligned}$$ G ( W , Q ) G = f ∈ P ( G ) ∩ L 1 ( G ) : f ( 0 ) = 1 , supp f + ⊆ W , supp f ^ ⊆ Q where $$W\subseteq G$$ W ⊆ G is closed and of finite Haar measure and $$Q\subseteq {\widehat{G}}$$ Q ⊆ G ^ is compact. We also consider the related Delsarte-type problem of finding the extremal quantity $$\begin{aligned} {\mathcal {D}}(W,Q)_G = \sup \left\{ \int _{G} f(g) \mathrm{d}\lambda _G(g) ~ : ~ f \in {\mathcal {G}}(W,Q)_G\right\} . \end{aligned}$$ D ( W , Q ) G = sup ∫ G f ( g ) d λ G ( g ) : f ∈ G ( W , Q ) G . The main objective of the current paper is to prove the existence of an extremal function for the Delsarte-type extremal problem $${\mathcal {D}}(W,Q)_G$$ D ( W , Q ) G . The existence of the extremal function has recently been established by Berdysheva and Révész in the most immediate case where $$G={\mathbb {R}}^d$$ G = R d . So, the novelty here is that we consider the problem in the general setting of locally compact abelian groups. In this way, our result provides a far reaching generalization of the former work of Berdysheva and Révész.

Let B be a commutative, semi-simple, regular, Tauberian Banach algebra with noncompact maximal ideal space Δ(B). Suppose B has the property that there is a constant C such that for every compact subset K of Δ(B) there exists a f ∈ B with = 1 on K, ‖f‖B ≤ C and has compact support. We prove that if A is a proper abstract Segal algebra over B then for every positive integer n there exists f ∈ B such that fn ∉ A but fn+1 ∈ A. As a consequence of this result we prove that if G is a nondiscrete locally compact abelian group, μ a positive unbounded Radon measure on Γ (the dual group of G), 1 ≤ p < q < ∞ and , then .
