There are several notions of positive definiteness for functions on topological groups, the two of which are: Bochner type positive definite functions and integrally positive definite functions. The class P(F) of positive definite functions for the class F can be defined more generally and it is interesting to observe that a change in F produces a different class P(F) of positive definite functions. The purpose of this paper is to study the functions in P(LP(G)) which are positive definite for the class LP(G) (1 ≦ p < ∞), where G is a compact or locally compact group. The relevant information about the class P(F) can be found in [1; 2; 3 and 8].

As is known, on a locally compact group G, the mere assumption of pointwise convergence of a sequence (n) of continuous positive definite functions implies uniform convergence of (n) to on compact subsets of G. This result was first proved in 1947 by Raikov8 (and independently by Yoshizawa9). An interesting discussion of the relationship between such theorems and various Cramr-Lvy theorems of the 1920s and 1930s, concerning the Central Limit Problem of probability, is given by McKennon(7, p. 62).

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 this note we are concerned with several questions on positive definite functions over a Hausdorff locally compact group. The main result, Theorem A, gives some necessary and sufficient conditions for to be a positive definite function when μ is a (complex Radon) measure. In particular, is a positive definite function if and only if μ ∊ L2, and Theorem B then follows by giving a complete characterization of functions of the type , where f ∊ L2. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of these results is that they provide further examples of results over a non-abelian, non-compact group, which otherwise are simple consequences (with μ, a bounded measure in Theorem A) of the theorems of Plancherel and Bochner.Unless otherwise specified, all notation and definitions will follow [1;2]. The underlying group will always be G, a Hausdorff locally compact group with identity e, and with left Haar measure dx.

Abstract We prove that, under certain restrictions, every locally compact group equipped with a nonzero, σ-finite, regular left Haar measure can be decomposed into two small sets, one of which is small in the sense of measure and the other is small in the sense of category, and all such decompositions originate from a generalised notion of a Lebesgue point. Incidentally, such class of topological groups for which this happens turns out to be metrisable. We also observe an interesting connection between Luzin sets in such spaces and decompositions of the above type.

AbstractThe notion of positive-definite functions over locally compact quantum groups was recently introduced and studied by Daws and Salmi. Based on this work, we generalize various well-known results about positive-definite functions over groups to the quantum framework. Among these are theorems on “square roots” of positive-definite functions, comparison of various topologies, positive-definite measures and characterizations of amenability, and the separation property with respect to compact quantum subgroups.

Topological group always means Hausdorff topological group, homomorphism (isomorphism) between topological groups always means continuous homomorphism (homeomorphic isomorphism). For a topological group G, the topological commutator subgroup (the closure of the algebraic commutator subgroup) is denoted by G’. For each locally compact group G, Takahashi has constructed a locally compact group GT (called the Takahashi quasi-dual) and a homomorphism G → GT such that GT is maximally almost periodic, and GT’ is compact. The category of all locally compact groups with these two properties is denoted by [TAK]. Takahashi's duality theorem states that G → GT is an isomorphism if G ∊ [TAK].

AbstractIt is shown that an abelian group admits a non-discrete locally compact group topology if and only if it has a subgroup algebraically isomorphic to the group of p-adic integers or to an infinite product of non-trivial finite cyclic groups. It is also proved that an abelian group admits a non-totally-disconnected locally compact group topology if and only if it has a subgroup algebraically isomorphic to the group of real numbers. Further, if an abelian group admits one non-totally-disconnected locally compact group topology then it admits a continuum of such topologies, no two of which yield topologically isomorphic topological groups.

We prove that if ${\it\rho}$ is an irreducible positive definite function in the Fourier–Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ with $\Vert {\it\rho}\Vert _{B(G)}=1$, then the iterated powers $({\it\rho}^{n})$ as a sequence of unital completely positive maps on the group $C^{\ast }$-algebra converge to zero in the strong operator topology.

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.
