AbstractThe Kasparov groups are extended to the setting of inverse limits of G-C*-algebras, where G is assumed to be a locally compact group. The K K-product and other important features of the theory are generalized to this setting.

Suppose that H is a closed subgroup of a locally compact group G. We show that a unitary representation U of H is the restriction of a unitary representation of G if and only if a dual representation Û of a crossed product C*(G) ⋊ (G/H) is regular in an appropriate sense. We then discuss the problem of deciding whether a given representation is regular; we believe that this problem will prove to be an interesting test question in non-Abelian duality for crossed products of C*-algebras.

An action (γ, α) of a locally compact group G on a Hilbert pro-C∗-bimodule (X, A) induces an action γ × α of G on A ×X Z the crossed product of A by X. We show that if (γ, α) is an inverse limit action, then the crossed product of A ×α G by X ×γ G respectively of A ×α,r G by X ×γ,r G is isomorphic to the full crossed product of A ×X Z by γ × α respectively the reduced crossed product of A ×X Z by γ × α.

It is shown that if $G$ is an almost connected nilpotent group then the stable rank of $C^*(G)$ is equal to the rank of the abelian group $G/[G,G]$. For a general nilpotent locally compact group $G$, it is shown that finiteness of the rank of $G/[G,G]$ is necessary and sufficient for the finiteness of the stable rank of $C^*(G)$ and also for the finiteness of the real rank of $C^*(G)$.

Abstract A QSIN group is a locally compact group G whose group algebra $\mathrm L^{1}(G)$ admits a quasi-central bounded approximate identity. Examples of QSIN groups include every amenable group and every discrete group. It is shown that if G is a QSIN group, H is a closed subgroup of G, and $\pi \!: H\to \mathcal B(\mathcal{H})$ is a unitary representation of H, then $\pi$ is weakly contained in $\Big (\mathrm{Ind}_{H}^{G}\pi \Big )|_{H}$. This provides a powerful tool in studying the C*-algebras of QSIN groups. In particular, it is shown that if G is a QSIN group which contains a copy of $\mathbb{F}_{2}$ as a closed subgroup, then $\mathrm C^{\ast }(G)$ is not locally reflexive and $\mathrm C^{\ast }_{r}(G)$ does not admit the local lifting property. Further applications are drawn to the “(weak) extendability” of Fourier spaces $\mathrm A_{\pi }$ and Fourier–Stieltjes spaces $\mathrm B_{\pi }$.

We present a simple and intuitive framework for duality of locally compacts groups, which is not based on the Haar measure. This is a map, functorial on a non-degenerate subcategory, on the category of coinvolutive Hopf $C^*$-algebras, and a similar map on the category of coinvolutive Hopf-von Neumann algebras. In the $C^*$-version, this functor sends $C_0(G)$ to $C^*(G)$ and vice versa, for every locally compact group $G$. As opposed to preceding approaches, there is an explicit description of commutative and co-commutative algebras in the range of this map (without assumption of being isomorphic to their bidual): these algebras have the form $C_0(G)$ or $C^*(G)$ respectively, where $G$ is a locally compact group. The von Neumann version of the functor puts into duality, in the group case, the enveloping von Neumann algebras of the algebras above: $C_0(G)^{**}$ and $C^*(G)^{**}$.

Amenable unitary representations of a locally compact group, $G$, are studied in terms of associated coefficient subspaces of the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$, and in terms of the existence of invariant and multiplicative states on associated von Neumann and $C^*$-algebras. We introduce Fourier algebras and reduced Fourier-Stieltjes algebras associated to arbitrary representations, and study amenable representations in relation to these algebras.

Let G be a separable locally compact group which admits a non-trivial compact normal subgroup. It is shown that the group C*-algebra C*(G) of G may be decomposed as a direct sum of ideals whose structure is determined up to *-isomorphism. Applications are given to Type 1, [FD]− groups; in particular it is shown that the group C*-algebra of such a group is a direct sum of homogeneous C*-algebras.

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.
