Jan 5, 2012 at 18:03 comment added Yemon Choi Thank you for clarifying. It seems that Yulia Kuznetsova has answered your original question. If you want to find out about the Fourier algebra formulation of Wiener's theorem, I recommend the book of Reiter and Stegemann, which is itself based on some older notes/book of Reiter.

Jan 5, 2012 at 9:41 comment added spr The ax+b group is non-unimodular. But perhaps WTT is true here. Is there other examples?

Jan 5, 2012 at 6:30 comment added spr By WTT I meant the classical version. When the group $G$ is nonabelian, we state WTT as: if for $f\in L^1(G)$, the Fourier transform of $f$ is nonvanishing on every point of the unitary dual then the (both-sided) ideal generated by $f$ is dense in $L^1(G)$. Both-sided ideal can be changed to linear span of both-sided translations also. Even if the group is non-unimodular, $L^1(G)$ is a Banach algebra and invariant under left and right translations, though norm of $f$ and that of its right translation change. Am I right? I am not aware of other version of WTT. What is a good source?

Jan 4, 2012 at 15:10 comment added Yemon Choi Note also that all discrete groups are unimodular, even the Type II ones with nasty unitary duals; so the classical version of WTT in terms of the Fourier transform of functions on the group will be problematic.
Jan 4, 2012 at 15:04 comment added Yemon Choi To provide extra context, could you please state the version of Wiener's Tauberian theorem that you mean in a non-abelian context? (The classical notion for $L^1$ group algebras is very reliant on the group being abelian; perhaps you have in mind one of the versions in terms of the Fourier algebra?)
