Compact Abelian Groups

An open subgroup U of a topological group G is always closed, since U is the complement of the open set . An arbitrary closed subgroup C of G is almost never open, unless G belongs to a small family of exceptional groups. In fact, if G is a locally compact abelian group in which every non-trivial subgroup is open, then G is the additive group δp of p-adic integers or the additive group Ωp of p-adic rationale (cf. Robertson and Schreiber[5[, proposition 7). The fact that δp has interesting properties as a topological group has many roots. One is that its character group is the Prüfer group ℤp∞, which makes it unique inside the category of compact abelian groups. But even within the bigger class of not necessarily abelian compact groups the p-adic group δp is distinguished: it is the only one all of whose non-trivial subgroups are isomorphic (cf. Morris and Oates-Williams[2[), and it is also the only one all of whose non-trivial closed subgroups have finite index (cf. Morris, Oates-Williams and Thompson [3[).

(1.1) The conjugate function on locally compact abelian groups. Let G be a locally compact abelian group with character group Ĝ. Let μ denote a Haar measure on G such that μ(G) = 1 if G is compact. (Unless stated otherwise, all the measures referred to below are Haar measures on the underlying groups.) Suppose that Ĝ contains a measurable order P: P + P ⊆P; PU(-P)= Ĝ; and P⋂(—P) =﹛0﹜. For ƒ in ℒ2(G), the conjugate function of f (with respect to the order P) is the function whose Fourier transform satisfies the identity for almost all χ in Ĝ, where sgnP(χ)= 0, 1, or —1, according as χ =0, χ ∈ P\\﹛0﹜, or χ ∈ (—P)\﹛0﹜.

AbstractLet G be a locally compact Abelian group, with character group X. Suppose that X contains a measurable order P. For the conjugate function of f is the function whose Fourier transform satisfies the identity for almost all χ in X where sgnp(χ) = - 1 , 0, 1, according as We prove that, when f is bounded with compact support, the conjugate function satisfies some weak type inequalities similar to those of the Hilbert transform of a bounded function with compact support in ℝ. As a consequence of these inequalities, we prove that possesses strong integrability properties, whenever f is bounded and G is compact. In particular, we show that, when G is compact and f is continuous on G, the function is integrable for all p > 0.

Locally Compact

AbstractA subgroup H of a topological group G is called cocompact (or uniform) if the quotient space {G/\overline{H}} is compact, where {\overline{H}} denotes the closure of H in G. The purpose of this paper is to give a characterization of non-compact locally compact groups with the property that every non-trivial closed (respectively, open) subgroup is cocompact (respectively, has finite index).

AbstractIn 1953 P. P. Korovkin proved that if (Tn) is a sequence of positive linear operators defined on the space C of continuous real 2π-periodic functions and limn→rTnf = f uniformly for f = 1, cos and sin. then limn→rTnf = f uniformly for all f∈C. We extend this result to spaces of continuous functions defined on a locally compact abelian group G, with the test family {1, cos, sin} replaced by a set of generators of the character group of G.

Let G be a locally compact abelian group, with character group Ĝ. Let ψ be an arbitrary continuous real-valued homomorphism defined on Ĝ. For f in LP(G), 1 < p ≤ 2, letwhere 1[−ν, ν] is the indicator function of the interval [ − ν, ν ], and I is an unbounded increasing sequence of positive real numbers. Then there is a constant Mp, independent of f, such that ‖M#f‖p ≤ Mp ‖f‖p. Consequently, the pointwise limit of the function exists, almost everywhere on G, as ν tends to infinity. Using this result and a generalised version of Riesz's theorem on conjugate functions, we obtain a pointwise inversion for Fourier transforms of functions on Ra × Tb, where a and b are nonnegative integers, and on various other locally compact abelian groups.

Dedicated to Edwin HewittIf G is any Hausdorff topological group and βG is the Stone-Čech compactification then where |G| denotes the cardinalty of G It is known that if G is a discrete group then and if G is the additive group of real numbers with the Euclidean topology, then |βG| = 2|G|. In this paper the cardinality and weight of βG, for a locally compact group G, is calculated in terms of the character and Lindelöf degree of G The results make it possible to give a reasonably complete description of locally compact groups G for which |βG| = 2|G| or even |βG| = |G|.

AbstractWe introduce the concepts of a local seminorm on a topological group and of a locally convex group, showing that discrete groups, locally compact Abelian groups and compact groups are locally convex, and that a topological vector space is locally convex as a linear space if and only if it is locally convex as a group. We show that notions of differentiability, analyticity and derivability can be defined for locally convex groups and that these notions are suitably related and well behaved. We prove that for a locally compact Abelian group G the Fourier transforms of measures of compact support on the character group Ĝ are analytic, and for G compact the coefficients of continuous irreducible unitary representations are. Using these spaces of analytic functions we define the basic concepts of a differential geometry.

Let G be a Hausdorff locally compact abelian group, Γ its character group. We shall prove that, if S is a translation-invariant subspace of Lp (G) (p ∈ [1, ∞]),for each a ∈ G and , then is relatively compact (where Σ(f) denotes the spectrum of f). We also obtain a similar result when G is a Hausdorff compact (not necessarily abelian) group. These results can be considered as a converse of Bernstein's inequality for locally compact groups.

Nikodym Derivative

Introduction. A famous construction of Wiener and Wintner ((13)), later refined by Salem ((11)) and extended by Schaeffer ((12)) and Ivašev-Musatov ((8)), produces a non-negative, singular, continuous measure μ on [ − π,π[ such thatfor every ∈ > 0. It is plain that the convolution μ * μ is absolutely continuous and in fact has Lebesgue–Radon–Nikodým derivative f such that For general locally compact Abelian groups, no exact analogue of (1 · 1) seems possible, as the character group may admit no natural order. However, it makes good sense to ask if μ* μ is absolutely continuous and has pth power integrable derivative. We will construct continuous singular measures μ on all non-discrete locally compact Abelian groups G such that μ * μ is a absolutely continuous and for which the Lebesgue–Radon–Nikodým derivative of μ * μ is in, for all real p > 1.

Abstract We show that locally compact abelian p-groups can be embedded in the first Hawaiian group on a compact path connected subspace of the Euclidean space of dimension four. This result gives a new geometric interpretation for the classification of locally compact abelian groups which are rich in commuting closed subgroups. It is then possible to introduce the idea of an algebraic topology for topologically modular locally compact groups via the geometry of the Hawaiian earring. Among other things, we find applications for locally compact groups which are just noncompact.
