Fundamental Sets of Functions on Locally Compact Abelian Groups

Let G be a locally compact Abelian group, and let X be a compact set of G. Given a positive definite function ?: G × G → ? whose real part is continuous at neutral element of G, we research a necessary and sufficient setting for the linear span of the set {x ∈ X → ?(x ? y): y ∈ X} to be dense in C(X) in the topology of uniform convergence. The context treated that is abstract encompasses classical cases of the literature, while other examples are entirely new.     

Compact Operators on Homogeneous Banach Spaces of Distributions on Locally Compact Abelian Groups

In this paper, two theorems about the compactness of almost invariant operators on homogeneous Banach spaces of distributions (in the sense of Feichtinger [11]) defined on a locally compact abelian group are proved. Our theorems generalize the corresponding results of K. de Leeuw [3] and Tewari and Madan [18] for operators on homogeneous Banach spaces on the circle group and Segal algebras on a compact abelian groups, respectively.AMS Subject Classification 2000: 43A85, 47B07.     

Abstract Inverse Estimation with Application to Deconvolution on Locally Compact Abelian Groups

Recovery of the unknown parameter in an abstract inverse estimation model can be based on regularizing the inverse of the operator defining the model. Such regularized-inverse type estimators are constructed with the help of a version of the spectral theorem due to Halmos, after suitable preconditioning. A lower bound to the minimax risk is obtained exploiting the van Trees inequality. The proposed estimators are shown to be asymptotically optimal in the sense that their risk converges to zero, as the sample size tends to infinity, at the same rate as this lower bound. The general theory is applied to deconvolution on locally compact Abelian groups, including both indirect density and indirect regression function estimation.     

Finite-Dimensional Approximations of Operators in the Hilbert Spaces of Functions on Locally Compact Abelian Groups

A new approach to the approximation of operators in the Hilbert space of functions on a locally compact Abelian (LCA) group is developed. This approach is based on sampling the symbols of such operators. To choose the points for sampling, we use the approximations of LCA groups by finite groups, which were introduced and investigated by Gordon. In the case of the group R ⁿ , the constructed approximations include the finite-dimensional approximations of the coordinate and linear momentum operators, suggested by Schwinger. The finite-dimensional approximations of the Schrödinger operator based on Schwinger's approximations were considered by Digernes, Varadarajan, and Varadhan in Rev. Math. Phys. 6 (4) (1994), 621–648 where the convergence of eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the approximating operators to those of the Schrödinger operator was proved in the case of a positive potential increasing at infinity. Here this result is extended to the case of Schrödinger-type operators in the Hilbert space of functions on LCA groups. We consider the approximations of p-adic Schrödinger operators as an example. For the investigation of the constructed approximations, the methods of nonstandard analysis are used.     

On the Approximation of Functions on Locally Compact Abelian Groups

Questions of approximative nature are considered for a space of functions L ^p(G, ), 1 p , defined on a locally compact abelian Hausdorff group G with Haar measure . The approximating subspaces which are analogs of the space of exponential type entire functions are introduced.     

Partly Divisible Probability Measures on Locally Compact Abelian Groups

A notion of admissible probability measures μ on a locally compact Abelian group (LCA ‐ group) G with connected dual group Ĝ = ℝ^d × 𝕋ⁿ is defined. To such a measure μ, a closed semigroup Λ(μ) ⊆ (0, ∞) can be associated, such that, for t ∈ Λ(μ), the Fourier transform to the power t, (μˆ)^t, is a characteristic function. We prove that the existence of roots for non admissible probability measures underlies some restrictions, which do not hold in the admissible case. As we show for the example ℤ₂, in the case of LCA ‐ groups with non connected dual group, there is no canonical definition of the set Λ(μ).     

Contractive Automorphisms of Locally Compact Groups and the Concentration Function Problem

Let G be a noncompact locally compact group. We show that a necessary and sufficient condition in order that G support an adapted probability measure whose concentration functions fail converge to zero is that G be the semidirect product , where is an automorphism of N contractive modulo a compact subgroup. Any adapted a probability measure whose concentration functions fail to converge to zero has the form =v×₁ where v is a probability measure on N. If G is unimodular then the concentration functions of an adapted probability measure fail to converge to zero if and only if is supported on a coset of a compact normal subgroup.     

Generalized Group Algebras of Locally Compact Groups

This article studies the homological properties of generalized group algebra L ¹(G, A) of a locally compact group G over a Banach algebra A with an identity of norm 1. It is shown that if L ¹(G, A) is right continuous then G is finite and A is right continuous. It is also shown that L ¹(G, A) is right self-injective if and only if G is finite and A is right self-injective.     

Sixteen-Dimensional Locally Compact Translation Planes with Large Automorphism Groups having no Fixed Points

The 16-dimensional compact projective planes whose automorphism group contains a closed connected subgroup fixing a line, but no point and having dimension at least 35 are determined. It is shown that these planes all belong to three families of planes determined by H. Löwe and the author, and hence are explicitly known. A major stepping stone to this goal is a result by H. Salzmann according to which every such plane is a translation plane.     

Weakly Compact Composition Operators on Locally Convex Spaces

Let E be a complete, barrelled locally convex space, let V = (v_n) be an increasing sequence of strictly positive, radial, continuous, bounded weights on the unit disc 𝔻 of the complex plane, and let φ be an analytic self map on 𝔻. The composition operators C_φ : f → f ○ φ on the weighted space of holomorphic functions HV (𝔻, E) which map bounded sets into relatively weakly compact subsets are characterized. Our approach requires a study of wedge operators between spaces of continuous linear maps between locally convex spaces which extends results of Saksman and Tylli [31, 32], and a representation of the space HV (𝔻, E) as a space of operators which complements work by Bierstedt , Bonet and Galbis [4] and by Bierstedt and Holtmanns [6].     

Time Regularity for Random Walks on Locally Compact Groups

Let G be a compactly generated, locally compact group, and let T be the operator of convolution with a probability measure μ on G. Our main results give sufficient conditions on μ for the operator T to be analytic in L ^p (G), 1 < p < ∞, where analyticity means that one has an estimate of form for all n = 1, 2, ... in L ^p operator norm. Counterexamples show that analyticity may not hold if some of the conditions are not satisfied.

Locally Asplund Preduals of Spaces of Holomorphic Functions

Defant [5] introduced the local Radon–Nikodym property for duals of locally convex spaces. This is a generalization of Asplund spaces as defined in Banach space theory. In this paper we generalise Dunford"s Theorem [7] to Banach spaces with Schauder decompositions and apply this result to spaces of holomorphic functions on balanced domains in a Banach space. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Rate of Decay of Concentration Functions on Discrete Groups

Given an irreducible probability measure on a non-compact locally compact group G, it is known that the concentration functions associated with converge to zero. In this note the rate of this convergence is presented in the case where G is a non-locally finite discrete group. In particular it is shown that if the volume growth V(m) of G satisfies V(m) cm ^D then for any compact set K we have sup _gG ⁽ⁿ⁾(Kg) Cn ^–D/2.     

Mappings on Spaces of Continuous Functions

Let X and Y be locally compact Hausdorff spaces and T : C₀(X) C₀(Y) a ring homomorphism. We completely characterize such homomorphisms and show that if T is R-linear, then T is either C-linear or C-antilinear. In any case T is continuous and there is a continuous map : Y X such that Tf = f o , f C₀(X) (if T is C-linear) or (if T is C-antilinear). Thus, extending a result of Mólnar, we also derive the general form of an isometry T.AMS Subject Classification (2000): primary 46J05, 46E25(deceased) Passed away on 24 May 1999.     

关于局部紧域的加法特征的一点注记

Limit theorems on locally compact Abelian groups

We prove limit theorems for row sums of a rowwise independent infinitesimal array of random variables with values in a locally compact Abelian group. First we give a proof of Gaiser's theorem [4, Satz 1.3.6], since it does not have an easy access and it is not complete. This theorem gives sufficient conditions for convergence of the row sums, but the limit measure cannot have a nondegenerate idempotent factor. Then we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence of the row sums, where the limit measure can be also a nondegenerate Haar measure on a compact subgroup. Finally, we investigate special cases: the torus group, the group of p ‐adic integers and the p ‐adic solenoid. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
