AbstractThe decomposability number of a von Neumann algebra ℳ (denoted by dec(ℳ)) is the greatest cardinality of a family of pairwise orthogonal non-zero projections in ℳ. In this paper, we explore the close connection between dec(ℳ) and the cardinal level of the Mazur property for the predual ℳ* of ℳ, the study of which was initiated by the second author. Here, our main focus is on those von Neumann algebras whose preduals constitute such important Banach algebras on a locally compact group G as the group algebra L1(G), the Fourier algebra A(G), the measure algebra M(G), the algebra LUC(G)*, etc. We show that for any of these von Neumann algebras, say ℳ, the cardinal number dec(ℳ) and a certain cardinal level of the Mazur property of ℳ* are completely encoded in the underlying group structure. In fact, they can be expressed precisely by two dual cardinal invariants of G: the compact covering number κ(G) of G and the least cardinality ᙭(G) of an open basis at the identity of G. We also present an application of the Mazur property of higher level to the topological centre problem for the Banach algebra A(G)**.

Positive Results

The authors have recently treated (2) the problem of finding subsets E of the real line , of type Fσ, such that E–E contains an interval and the k-fold vector sum (k)E is of measure zero. Positive results can be obtained, for all k, on the basis of a recent theorem of J. A. Haight (3), following earlier partial results (1), (4) for k ≦ 7; and indeed in these cases the problem has a solution with E a perfect set. An analogous problem, apparently in most respects subtler than the first, is the following. Do there exist finite regular Borel measures μ on such that is absolutely continuous (where is the adjoint of μ) and the kth convolution power μk is singular? Both problems are of interest in the general context of elucidating the properties of the measure algebra or, more generally, M(G) for locally compact abelian G. The second problem may be regarded as an attempt to provide (at least one aspect of) a multiplicity theory for the first.

The Way

Let A be a commutative, semi-simple, convolution measure algebra in the sense of Taylor (6), and let S denote its structure semigroup. In (2) we initiated a study of some of the relationships between the topological structure of A^ (the spectrum of A), the algebraic properties of S, and the way that A lies in M(S). In particular, we asked when it is true that A is invariant in M(S) or an ideal of M(S) and also whether it is possible to characterise those measures on S which are elements of A. It appeared from (2) that if A is invariant in M(S) then S must be a union of groups and that A^ must be a space which is in some sense “ very disconnected ”. In (3) we showed that if A^ is discrete then A is “ approximately ” an ideal of M(S). (What is meant by “ approximately ” is explained in (3); it is the best one can expect since algebras which are approximately equal have identical structure semigroups and spectra.) In this paper we round off some of the results of (2) and (3). We show that if A is invariant in M(S) then A^ is totally disconnected, and that if A^ is totally disconnected then S is an inverse semigroup (union of groups). From these two crucial facts it is fairly straight-forward to obtain a complete characterisation of algebras A (and their structure semigroups) for which (i) A^ is totally disconnected, (ii) A is invariant in M(S), or (iii) A is an ideal of M(S).

Spectral Radius Formula

AbstractIn this short note we first extend the validity of the spectral radius formula, obtained by M. Anoussis and G. Gatzouras, for Fourier–Stieltjes algebras. The second part is devoted to showing that, for the measure algebra on any locally compact non-discrete Abelian group, there are no non-trivial constraints among three quantities: the norm, the spectral radius, and the supremum of the Fourier–Stieltjes transform, even if we restrict our attention to measures with all convolution powers singular with respect to the Haar measure.

Power Bounded

Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group and let $M(G)$ be the measure algebra of $G$. A measure $\mu \in M(G)$ is said to be power bounded if $\sup _{n\geq 0}\lVert \mu ^{n} \rVert _{1}<\infty $. Let $\mathbf {T} = \{ T_{g}:g\in G\}$ be a bounded and continuous representation of $G$ on a Banach space $X$. For any $\mu \in M(G)$, there is a bounded linear operator on $X$ associated with µ, denoted by $\mathbf {T}_{\mu }$, which integrates $T_{g}$ with respect to µ. In this paper, we study norm and almost everywhere behavior of the sequences $\{ \mathbf {T}_{\mu }^{n}x\}$ $(x\in X)$ in the case when µ is power bounded. Some related problems are also discussed.
