Strong Ditkin sets in the Fourier algebra

What is the definition of a Ditkin set (resp. a strong Ditkin set) for the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of a locally compact (not necessarily abelian) group $G$? More specifically, let $E$ be a closed ...

Qualitative difference between "continuous" and "discontinuous" states on $M(G)$

Let $G$ be a locally compact Abelian group (we can think that $G={\mathbb R}$). Let $C_0(G)$ be the space of continuous functions $u:G\to{\mathbb C}$ vanishing at infinity with the usual $\sup$-norm, ...

An square root of the multiplicative operator on $\ell^1(\mathbb{Z}_n)$

Let us consider the finite group algebra $\ell^1(\mathbb{Z}_n)$. Let $x=(x_0,\cdots,x_{n-1})$ in $\ell^1(\mathbb{Z}_n)$ and define $$M_x: \ell^1(\mathbb{Z}_n)\to \ell^1(\mathbb{Z}_n) : M_x(a)=a*x$$ ...

Irreducible sub-modules of $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z})$

It is known that $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z})$ is $\ell^1(\mathbb{Z})$-module (the module operation is the convolution). What about the irreducible submodules? Can we characterize them?

Measure algebra on the Bohr compactification vs the bidual algebras

The following question probably reduces to some standard abstract harmonic analysis Twister play, but I'd still welcome some comments on it. Let $G$ be a locally compact Abelian group and let $bG$ ...

Relaxed/Truncated Version of Wiener's Tauberian Theorem

Background Let $(U_t)_{t \in \mathbb{R}}$ be the (translation) $C_0$-group on $L^1(\mathbb{R})$ defined by $$ U_t(f)(x) = f(x-t) \quad \text{for almost every } x \in \mathbb{R} $$ (for $t \in \...

Finding a special Banach algebra and a net of homomorphisms

If $A$ is a Banach agebra and $M$ is a Banach $A$-bimodule then a linear map $T:A\to M$ is called an $A$-module homomorphism if $$T(ab)=aT(b),\quad T(ab)=T(a)b,\qquad a,b\in A.$$ Also $A\hat{\otimes} ...

application of factorization theorem

Young's inequlity tells us that $L^{1}(\mathbb R)\ast L^{p}(\mathbb R) \subset L^{p}(\mathbb R)$ with norm inequality $$\|f\ast g\|_{L^{p}} \leq \|f\|_{L^1}\|g\|_{L^p};$$ and of course this ...

How do functions operates in a Fourier algebra $A^{q}(\mathbb T)$?

We put , $A^{q}(\mathbb T)= \{ f\in L^{q}(\mathbb T): \hat{f}\in \ell^{q}(\mathbb Z) \}.$ By Helson-Kahane-Katznelson-Rudin Theorem, it follows that, "Let $F$ be a function on $\mathbb C$ and if $F(f)...
