Minimal pseudocompact group topologies on free abelian groups

A Hausdorff topological group G is minimal if every continuous isomorphism f:G→H between G and a Hausdorff topological group H is open. Significantly strengthening a 1981 result of Stoyanov, we prove the following theorem: For every infinite minimal abelian group G there exists a sequence of cardinals such that

On Fourier algebra homomorphisms

Let G be a locally compact group and let B(G) be the dual space of C∗(G), the group C∗ algebra of G. The Fourier algebra A(G) is the closed ideal of B(G) generated by elements with compact support. The Fourier algebras have a natural operator space structure as preduals of von Neumann algebras. Given a completely bounded algebra homomorphism we show that it can be described, in terms of a piecewise affine map with Y in the coset ring of H, as follows

γ-Bounded representations of amenable groups

Let G be an amenable group, let X be a Banach space and let π:G→B(X) be a bounded representation. We show that if the set is γ-bounded then π extends to a bounded homomorphism w:C^∗(G)→B(X) on the group C^∗-algebra of G. Moreover w is necessarily γ-bounded. This extends to the Banach space setting a theorem of Day and Dixmier saying that any bounded representation of an amenable group on Hilbert space is unitarizable. We obtain additional results and complements when G=Z, R or T, and/or when X has property (α).

Measures of weak noncompactness in Banach spaces

Measures of weak noncompactness are formulae that quantify different characterizations of weak compactness in Banach spaces: we deal here with De Blasi's measure ω and the measure of double limits γ inspired by Grothendieck's characterization of weak compactness. Moreover for bounded sets H of a Banach space E we consider the worst distance k(H) of the weak^∗-closure in the bidual of H to E and the worst distance ck(H) of the sets of weak^∗-cluster points in the bidual of sequences in H to E. We prove the inequalities
