How can the maximal ideal space of the Fourier Stieltjes algebra be non-separable?
I have been asking a fair few (probably elementary) questions about abstract harmonic analysis lately. By means of explanation, I am just feeling around the subject at the moment and trying to build ...

Generalized conjugacy classes in (topological) groups
Let $G$ be a topological group. We define an equivalence relation on $G$ as follows:
For $a,b\in G$ we set $a\sim b$ if the following two maps are topologically conjugate:
$$x\mapsto ax,\qquad x\...

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 ...

Continuous function defined by measurable sets
Is the following slightly generalization of Corollary 20.17 in Hewitt and Ross Book (page 296) correct?
Let $A$ be a subset of a profinite group $G$ ( compact, Hausdorff, totally disconnected ...

Can Gaussian measure be characterized by unitary representations?
It is well known that Fourier transform switches positive-definite functions with positive measures on a (locally compact topological) group. Further, the positive definite functions can be ...

Subgroups of finite non-zero Haar measure of abelian locally compact groups
Is it true that every subgroup of finite non-zero Haar measure of an abelian locally compact group should be open and compact? This is obviously true for the case of discrete abelian groups. Thanks.

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 ...

Justification of the convolution operation of $L^1(G)$ functions where $G$ is a LCA group (measurability)
Suppose $G$ is a locally compact abelian Hausdorff group (LCA), and $\lambda$ is the Haar measure on it. We all know the convolution of two $L^1(\lambda)$ functions $f$ and $g$ on $G$ is defined as
