Mismatch between equivalent definitions of the Bohr compactification of the reals
I feel I'm overlooking something very silly.
The Bohr compactification of $\mathbb R$ has two equivalent definitions.
The set of (possibly discontinuous) homomorphisms $\mathbb R \to \mathbb T$ under ...

Urysohn's lemma for Bochner functions?
Let $G$ be a locally compact Hausdorff group. In the proof of theorem 4.32 of Folland's book "A course in abstract harmonic analysis", the following result is used:
If $U$ is an open ...

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 $G$, ...

Fourier multipliers and transference on cyclic groups
It seems to be a commonplace in harmonic analysis that if some operator (say, Fourier multiplier) is bounded on $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ then by transference the similar operator is also bounded on $L^p(\...

Show that $V_G: L^2(G\times G, \mu \times \mu)\to L^2(G\times G, \mu \times \mu)$ defined by $V_G(f)(x,y) = f(xy,y)$ is well-defined
Let $G$ be a locally compact Hausdorff group and let $\mu$ be a right Haar measure on $G$. Then $\mu\times \mu$ (the Radon product of measures) is a right Haar measure on $G \times G$ and we can ...

A basis of the Banach space $L^p(\mathbb T^\omega)$ consisting of characters
Problem: For $1<p<\infty$, $p\ne 2$, has the complex Banach space $L^p(\mathbb T^\omega)$ got a Schauder basis consisting of characters of the compact topological group $\mathbb T^\omega$?

Characterizing Herz-Schur multipliers using coefficient functions of uniformly bounded representations
Let $G$ be a group and let $c > 1$ be a constant. We denote by $B_c(G)$ the space of all coefficients of the representations of $G$ which are uniformly bounded by $c$; more precisely, a function $f:...

Best constant for maximal function for locally compact groups
Maximal functions for locally compact groups have been studied. In particular papers of K. Phillips and Phillips-Taibleson (here and here) contain nice results in this direction. It might be too much ...

Weil's Haar measure construction from below
Weil's construction of a Haar measure on a locally compact group rests on approximating a function from above by sums of translates of another function.
I would need to know something similar for an ...

Understanding Bruhat's notion of Schwartz function
I am trying to understand Bruhat's generalized Schwartz functions over (Hausforff) locally compact Abelian groups [1], following this paper [2] by Osborne. There, the Schwartz-Bruhat space $\mathscr{...

Why groups that admit Folner Sequences are amenable
I've been looking at Folner's Condition recently, and I'm struggling to find a proof for why the existence of a Folner sequence on a locally compact group implies that it is amenable (and the converse ...
