Abstract In this paper we introduce a new way of deforming convolution algebras and Fourier algebras on locally compact groups. We demonstrate that this new deformation allows us to reveal some information about the underlying groups by examining Banach algebra properties of deformed algebras. More precisely, we focus on representability as an operator algebra of deformed convolution algebras on compact connected Lie groups with connection to the real dimension of the underlying group. Similarly, we investigate complete representability as an operator algebra of deformed Fourier algebras on some ûnitely generated discrete groups with connection to the growth rate of the group.

Abstract Several classes of locally compact groups have been shown to possess a qualitative uncertainty principle for the Gabor transform. These include Moore groups, the Heisenberg group {\mathbb{H}_{n}} , the group {\mathbb{H}_{n}\times D} (where D is a discrete group) and other low-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups.

In this paper a number of questions about locally compact groups are studied. The structure of finite dimensional connected locally compact groups is investigated, and a fairly simple representation of such groups is obtained. Using this it is proved that finite dimensional arcwise connected locally compact groups are Lie groups, and that in general arcwise connected locally compact groups are locally connected. Semi-simple locally compact groups are then investigated, and it is shown that under suitable restrictions these satisfy many of the properties of semi-simple Lie groups. For example, a factor group of a semi-simple locally compact group is semi-simple. A result of Zassenhaus, Auslander and Wang is reformulated, and in this new formulation it is shown to be true under more general conditions. This fact is used in the study of (C)-groups in the sense of K. Iwasawa.

This paper is part of the program of studying large-scale geometric properties of totally disconnected locally compact groups, TDLC-groups, by analogy with the theory for discrete groups. We provide a characterization of hyperbolic TDLC-groups, in terms of homological isoperimetric inequalities. This characterization is used to prove the main result of this paper: for hyperbolic TDLC-groups with rational discrete cohomological dimension [Formula: see text], hyperbolicity is inherited by compactly presented closed subgroups. As a consequence, every compactly presented closed subgroup of the automorphism group [Formula: see text] of a negatively curved locally finite [Formula: see text]-dimensional building [Formula: see text] is a hyperbolic TDLC-group, whenever [Formula: see text] acts with finitely many orbits on [Formula: see text]. Examples where this result applies include hyperbolic Bourdon’s buildings. We revisit the construction of small cancellation quotients of amalgamated free products, and verify that it provides examples of hyperbolic TDLC-groups of rational discrete cohomological dimension [Formula: see text] when applied to amalgamated products of profinite groups over open subgroups. We raise the question of whether our main result can be extended to locally compact hyperbolic groups if rational discrete cohomological dimension is replaced by asymptotic dimension. We prove that this is the case for discrete groups and sketch an argument for TDLC-groups.

A locally compact group [Formula: see text] has property PL if every isometric [Formula: see text]-action either has bounded orbits or is (metrically) proper. For [Formula: see text], say that [Formula: see text] has property BPp if the same alternative holds for the smaller class of affine isometric actions on [Formula: see text]-spaces. We explore properties PL and BPp and prove that they are equivalent for some interesting classes of groups: abelian groups, amenable almost connected Lie groups, amenable linear algebraic groups over a local field of characteristic 0. The appendix provides new examples of groups with property PL, including nonlinear ones.
