Throughout this paper the term "space" will mean "Hausdorff locally compact space" and the term '"group" will mean "Hausdorff locally compact group." If G is a group and 1 ≤ p < ∞, Lp(G) denotes the usual Lebesgue space formed relative to left Haar measure on G. It is well known that L1(G) is an algebra under convolution, and that the same is true of Lp(G) whenever G is compact. We introduce also the space Cc(G) of complex-valued continuous functions f on G for each of which the support (supp f), is compact. The "natural" topology of CC(G) is obtained by regarding CC(G) as the inductive limit of its subspaces

AbstractFor a locally compact group G, let LUC(G) denote the space of all left uniformly continuous functions on G. Here, we investigate projectivity, injectivity and flatness of LUC(G) and its dual space LUC(G)* as Banach left modules over the group algebra as well as the measure algebra of G.

If µ is a bounded regular Borel measure on a locally compact group G, and L1(G) denotes the class of complex-valued functions which are integrable with respect to the left Haar measure m of G, then, for each f∈L1(G),defines almost everywhere (a.e.) with respect to m a function μ*f which is again in L1(G). The measure μ will be called isotone on G mapping f→μ*f is isotone, i.e. f≧0 a.e. (m) if and only if μ*f≧0 a.e. (m).

For a locally compact group G, let LP(G) be the usual Lebesgue space with respect to left Haar measure m on G. For x ϵ G define the left and right translation operators Lx and Rx by Lx f(y) = f(xy), Rx f(y) = f(yx)(f ϵ Lp(G),y ϵ G). The purpose of this paper is to prove the following theorem.

Greenleaf states the following conjecture in [1, p. 69]. Let G be a (connected, separable) amenable locally compact group with left Haar measure, μ, and let U be a compact symmetric neighbourhood of the unit. Then the sets, {Um}, have the following property: given ɛ > 0 and compact K ⊂ G, ∃ m0 = m0(ɛ, K) such that

AbstractLet N be a compact normal subgroup of a locally compact group G. One of our goals here is to determine when and how a given compactification Y of G/N can be realized as a quotient of the analogous compactification (ψ, X) of G by Nψ = ψ(N) ⊂ X; this is achieved in a number of cases for which we can establish that μNψ ⊂ Nψ μ for all μ ∈ X A question arises naturally, ‘Can the latter containment be proper?’ With an example, we give a positive answer to this question.The group G is an extension of N by GN and can be identified algebraically with Nx GN when this product is given the Schreier multiplication, and for our further results we assume that we can also identify G topologically with N x GN. When GN is discrete and X is the compactification of G coming from the left uniformly continuous functions, we are able to show that X is an extension of N by (GN)(X≅N x (G/N)) even when G is not a semidirect product. Examples are given to illustrate the theory, and also to show its limitations.

LetGbe a Hausdorff topological locally compact group. LetM(G)denote the Banach algebra of all complex and bounded measures onG. For all integersn≥1and allμ∈M(G), we consider the functional equations∫Gf(xty)dμ(t)=∑i=1ngi(x)hi(y),x,y∈G, where the functionsf,{gi},{hi}:G→ℂto be determined are bounded and continuous functions onG. We show how the solutions of these equations are closely related to the solutions of theμ-spherical matrix functions. WhenGis a compact group andμis a Gelfand measure, we give the set of continuous solutions of these equations.

AbstractFor a locally compact group G, the convolution product on the space 𝒩(Lp(G)) of nuclear operators was defined by Neufang [11]. We study homological properties of the convolution algebra 𝒩(Lp(G)) and relate them to some properties of the group G, such as compactness, finiteness, discreteness, and amenability.

Let G be a locally compact group, and let P(G) be the convex set of all continuous, positive definite functions ø on G normalized by ø(e) = 1, where e denotes the group unit of G. For ø∈P(G) the spectrum spø of ø is defined as the set of all indecomposable ψ∈P(G) which are limits, for the topology of uniform convergence on compact subsets of G, of functions of the form(see [5], p. 43). Denoting by πø the cyclic unitary representation of G associated with ø, it is clear that sp ø consists of all ψ∈P(G) for which πψ is irreducible and weakly contained in πø (see [3], chapter 18).

In a recent issue of this Journal, Pu [3] has given an interesting construction of a nonmeasurable subset A of R such that for all intervals I in R. [Throughout this note, the symbol λ denotes Lebesgue outer measure on R or Haar outer measure on a general locally compact group.] This solves a problem stated in [2], p. 295, Exercise (18.30).

Throughout this paper X denotes a fixed Hausdorff locally compact group with left Haar measure dx. Various spaces of functions and measures on X will recur in the discussion, so we name and describe them forthwith. All functions and measures on X will be scalarvalued, though it matters little whether the scalars are real or complex.C = C(X) is the space of all continuous functions on X, Cc = Cc(X) its subspace formed of functions with compact supports. M = M(X) denotes the space of all (Radon) measures on X, Mc = MC(X) the subspace formed of those measures with compact supports. In general we denote the support of a function or a measure ξ by [ξ].
