Splitting of a topological vector space (TVS) into an (a) countable sum and (b) direct integral of subspaces
I thought that this would be a simpe question, and placed it here at the Mathematics Stackexchange. Now have to elevate it to Mathoverflow.
LANGUAGE
TVS = topological vector space. Any subspace of a ...

About weak integrals: Appendix of Folland's book "A course in abstract harmonic analysis"
Consider the following fragment from Folland's book "A course in abstract harmonic analysis":
All integrals are here to interpreted in the weak sense (see p285 in Folland's book). Why is ...

Existence of a strongly continuous topologically irreducible representation of a compact group on an infinite dimensional Banach space?
Does there exists a triple $(G, X, \pi)$, where $G$ is a compact group, $X$ an infinite dimensional Banach space over $\mathbf{C}$, and $\pi : G \to B(X)$ a strongly continuous representation of $G$, ...

Understanding the regular representation of an LCA group as a 'direct integral'
The reference for what I'm asking is page $107$ from Folland's harmonic analysis.
$G$ is a locally compact abelian group with dual $\hat{G}$. Let $H$ denote the Hilbert space $L^2(G)$.
I'm trying to ...

What is the explicit version of the Peter Weyl Theorem?
While the name "Peter-Weyl" is reserved for the compact group case, I prefer to talk in greater generality. Let $G$ be a unimodular type I topological group with a fixed Haar measure. The ...

What is the relationship between Hecke algebras and the enveloping algebra of Lie groups?
Here is the story as I see it.
Let $G$ be an abelian locally compact group. Then the (spherical) Hecke algebra for $K=1$ is by definition the endomorphism algebra of $l^2(G)$ as a $G$-module, where ...

About understanding manifold structure on WAP compactification of $\Bbb{C} \rtimes \Bbb{T}$
Let $G$ be a locally compact topological group. A continuous bounded function $f$ on $G$ is called (weakly) almost periodic if the set $L_Gf$ of left translates is relatively compact in the (weak) ...

Generalizing the Fourier isomorphism between Sobolev spaces and weighted $L^2$ spaces to (locally) compact groups?
Motivating examples:
Let $V$ be a real vector space with Haar measure $dv$. The fourier transform induces the following topological isomorphism: $$H^s(V,dv) \cong L^2(V^*,(1+|v^*|^2)^sdv^*)$$
The ...

Relationship between Harish-Chandra Schwartz space and more generic Schwartz spaces
If $G$ is a connected semisimple Lie group with finite center, Harish-Chandra defined a Schwartz space of rapidly decreasing functions on $G$ as the space of $\mathrm{C}^\infty$ functions defined by ...

Explicit description of the Plancherel measure for $GL_n(\mathbb{R})$
Let $G:=\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{R})$ and $f\in C_c^\infty(G)$. One can uniquely determine the Plancherel measure $d\mu_p$ on $\hat{G}$, the unitary (actually tempered) dual of $G$, by the equation
$$f(g)...

Distributions and functions on the Jacquet module $C_c^\infty(X)_{H,\chi}$
Let $X$ be an $\ell$ space (in the sense of Bernstein-Zelevinski), $H$ be an $\ell$ group which acts on $X$ and $\chi$ be a character of $H$. Denote $C^\infty(X)^{H,\chi}$ the space of locally ...

What does the unique mean on weakly almost periodic functions look like?
There is a unique invariant mean $m$ on WAP functions on any discrete group (see definitions below, theorem of ?). However, the proofs I found are fairly non-explicit on how to obtain this invariant ...

What is the spectrum of $L^1(G:H)$?
Let $H$ be a compact subgroup of a locally compact topological group $G$ and
$$ L^1(G:H)=\{f\in L^1(G): R_h f=f\;\text{ a.e. }\; \forall h \in H\}$$ and $\widehat{(G:H)}=\{\xi\in \hat{G}:\xi|_H=1\}$($\...

When one can expect $\widehat{(fg)} = \hat{f} \ast \hat{g}$; $f, g\in L^{1} (G)$?
Let $f, g \in L^{1}(\mathbb T)= L^{1} ([-\pi, \pi))$. We define, the Fourier transform of $f$ as follows:
$$\hat{f}(n)=\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi} f(t) e^{-int} dt, \ (n\in \mathbb Z).$$
It is ...

Characters separating points on Maximal Torus modulo Weyl group?
Let G be a compact Lie group, for example, SU(n). Let T be its maximal torus. Let W be its Weyl group.
Every finite-dimensional representation of G has a character, which is a function on G, T and T/...

Is there a Plancherel Theorem for Gowers norms?
In the process of counting arithmetic sequences in sets, the Gowers norms
$$ ||f||\_{U^s[N]}^{2^s} = \frac{1}{N^s} \sum_{\vec{h} ,\\, n } \Delta_{h_1}\dots\Delta_{h_s}f(n) $$
where the sum is $ \...
