In this note we consider measures on a left coset space G/H, where G is a locally compact group and H is a closed subgroup. We assume the natural topology in G/H and we denote the generic element of this space by xH (x∈G). Every element t∈G defines a homeomorphism of G/H given by t(xH) = (tx)H. A. Weil showed that a Baire measure on G/H invariant under all these homeomorphisms can exist only ifΔ(ξ) = δ(ξ) for each ξ ∈ H,where Δ(x), δ(ξ) denote the modular functions in G, H [6, pp. 42–45]. We shall devote our investigations to inherited measures on G/H (cf. [3] and the definition below) invariant under homeomorphisms belonging to a normal and closed subgroup T ⊂ G.

Let G be a locally compact group with left invariant Haar measure m. Le H be a closed subgroup of G and K a compact group of G. Let R be the equivalence relation in G defined by (a, b)∈R if and if a = kbh for some k in K and h in H. We call E =G/R the double coset space of G modulo K and H. Donote by a the canonical mapping of G onto E. It can be shown that E is a locally compact space and α is continous and open Let N be the normalizer of K in G, i. e. .

This paper presents a systematic study for abstract Banach measure algebras over homogeneous spaces of compact groups. Let [Formula: see text] be a closed subgroup of a compact group [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be the left coset space associated to the subgroup [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. Also, let [Formula: see text] be the Banach measure space consists of all complex measures over [Formula: see text]. Then we introduce the abstract notions of convolution and involution over the Banach measure space [Formula: see text].

Let G be a locally compact topological group, let H be a closed subgroup and let G/H be the space of left cosets = xH with the natural topology. We denote by μ a non-negative measure in G/Hdefined on the ring of Baire sets. G acts by left multiplication as a transitive group of homeomorphisms on G/H: Every t ∈ G defines the homeomorphism We write, for E ⊂ G/H, tE = . The measure μ is called stable (cf. [3], [4]) if from t ∈ G, E ⊂ G/H and μ(E) = 0 follows μ(tE) = 0. We say that μ is locally finite [3], [5] if every set of positive measure contains a subset of positive finite measure.

AbstractThis paper introduces a unified operator theory approach to the abstract Plancherel (trace) formulas over homogeneous spaces of compact groups. LetGbe a compact group and letHbe a closed subgroup ofG. LetG/Hbe the left coset space ofHinGand letμbe the normalized G-invariant measure onG-Hassociated with Weil’s formula. Then we present a generalized abstract notion of Plancherel (trace) formula for the Hilbert spaceL2(G/H,μ).

Freudenthal [5, 7] defined a compactification of a rim-compact space, that is, a space having a base of open sets with compact boundary. The additional points are called ends and Freudenthal showed that a connected locally compact non-compact group having a countable base has one or two ends. Later, Freudenthal [8], Zippin [16], and Iwasawa [11] showed that a connected locally compact group has two ends if and only if it is the direct product of a compact group and the reals.

In this note we will discuss the question of the measurability of the multiplier function of a relatively invariant measure on a group. That is, for a group G, σ-ring S, and a measure μ defined on the sets of S, we assume: E in S, x in G implies xE is in S and μ(XE) = σ(x)μ(E) and study the measurability of the function σ(x).The problem was discussed by Halmos (1, p. 265), on locally compact groups and there the situation proved to be as nice as it could be, that is, if the measure is a non-trivial, relatively invariant Baire measure then the multiplier function is continuous. We prove two theorems for groups in which no topology is assumed. In the first theorem we assume a shearing condition and answer the question completely. The second theorem places a condition on the measure and weakens the shearing assumption. Its proof is complicated and occupies the major portion of this paper.

AbstractIfGis a closed subgroup of a commutative hypergroupK, then the coset spaceK/Gcarries a quotient hypergroup structure. In this paper, we study related convolution structures onK/Gcoming fromdeformations of the quotient hypergroup structure by certain functions onKwhich we call partial characters with respect toG. They are usually not probability-preserving, but lead to so-called signed hypergroups onK/G. A first example is provided by the Laguerre convolution on [0, ∞[, which is interpreted as a signed quotient hypergroup convolution derived from the Heisenberg group. Moreover, signed hypergroups associated with the Gelfand pair (U(n, 1),U(n)) are discussed.

Throughout this paper a surface is a 2-dimensional (not necessarily compact) complex manifold. A surface X is homogeneous if a complex Lie group G of holomorphic transformations acts holomorphically and transitively on it. Concisely, X is homogeneous if it can be identified with the left coset space G/H, where if is a closed complex Lie subgroup of G. We emphasize that the assumption that G is a complex Lie group is an essential part of the definition. For example, the 2-dimensional ball B2 is certainly “homogeneous” in the sense that its automorphism group acts transitively. But it is impossible to realize B2 as a homogeneous space in the above sense. The purpose of this paper is to give a detailed classification of the homogeneous surfaces. We give explicit descriptions of all possibilities.

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.

AbstractIn this paper we study commutative topological semigroups S admitting an absolutely continuous measure. When S is cancellative we show that S admits a weaker topology J with respect to which (S, J) is embeddable as a subsemigroup with non-empty interior in some locally compact topological group. As a consequence, we deduce certain results related to the existence of invariant measures on S and for a large class of locally compact topological semigroups S, we associate S with some useful topological subsemigroup of a locally compact group.
