Weak Containment

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 $\mathrm B_{\pi }$.

AbstractLet G be a locally compact group, and let Acb(G) denote the closure of A(G), the Fourier algebra of G, in the space of completely boundedmultipliers of A(G). If G is a weakly amenable, discrete group such that C*(G) is residually finite-dimensional, we show that Acb(G) is operator amenable. In particular, Acb() is operator amenable even though , the free group in two generators, is not an amenable group. Moreover, we show that if G is a discrete group such that Acb(G) is operator amenable, a closed ideal of A(G) is weakly completely complemented in A(G) if and only if it has an approximate identity bounded in the cb-multiplier norm.

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.

AbstractLet G be a locally compact group. Let AM(G) (A0(G))denote the closure of A(G), the Fourier algebra of G in the space of bounded (completely bounded) multipliers of A(G). We call a locally compact group M-weakly amenable if AM(G) has a bounded approximate identity. We will show that when G is M-weakly amenable, the algebras AM(G) and A0(G) have properties that are characteristic of the Fourier algebra of an amenable group. Along the way we show that the sets of topologically invariant means associated with these algebras have the same cardinality as those of the Fourier algebra.

Special Cases

Mackey's imprimitivity theorem characterizes the unitary representations of a locally compact group G which have been induced from representations of a closed subgroup K; Rieffel's influential reformulation says that the group C*-algebra C*(K) is Morita equivalent to the crossed product C0(G/K)×G [14]. There have since been many important generalizations of this theorem, especially by Rieffel [15, 16] and by Green [3, 4]. These are all special cases of the symmetric imprimitivity theorem of [11], which gives a Morita equivalence between two crossed products of induced C*-algebras.

AbstractLet with . If G is a nondiscrete locally compact group which is amenable as a discrete group and m ∈ LIM(CB(G)), then we can embed into the set of all extensions of m to left invariant means on L∞(G) which are mutually singular to every element of TLIM(L∞(G)), where LIM(S) and TLIM(S) are the sets of left invariant means and topologically left invariant means on S with S = CB(G) or L∞(G). It follows that the cardinalities of LIM(L∞(G)) ̴ TLIM(L∞(G)) and LIM(L∞(G)) are equal. Note that which contains is a very big set. We also embed into the set of all left invariant means on CB(G) which are mutually singular to every element of TLIM(CB(G)) for G = G1 ⨯ G2, where G1 is nondiscrete, non–compact, σ–compact and amenable as a discrete group and G2 is any amenable locally compact group. The extension of any left invariant mean on UCB(G) to CB(G) is discussed. We also provide an answer to a problem raised by Rosenblatt.

AbstractLetF ⊂ Gbe closed andA(F) = A(G)/IF. IfFis a Helson set thenA(F)**is an amenable (semisimple) Banach algebra. Our main result implies the following theorem: LetGbe a locally compact group,F ⊂ Gclosed,a ∈ G. Assume either (a) For some non-discrete closed subgroupH, the interior ofF ∩ aHinaHis non-empty, or (b)R ⊂ G, S ⊂ Ris a symmetric set andaS ⊂ F. ThenA(F)**is a non-amenable non-semisimple Banach algebra. This raises the question: How ‘thin’ canFbe forA(F)**to remain a non-amenable Banach algebra?

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.

Abstract. Let 𝒜 be a Banach algebra with a bounded right approximate identity and let ℬ be a closed ideal of 𝒜. We study the relationship between the right identities of the double duals ℬ** and 𝒜** under the Arens product. We show that every right identity of ℬ** can be extended to a right identity of 𝒜** in some sense. As a consequence, we answer a question of Lau and Ülger, showing that for the Fourier algebra A(G) of a locally compact group G, an element ϕ ∈ A(G)** is in A(G) if and only if A(G)ϕ ⊆ A(G) and Eϕ = ϕ for all right identities E of A(G)**. We also prove some results about the topological centers of ℬ** and 𝒜**.
