Amenability properties of the centres of group algebras

Functional Analysis 2008-05-26 v1

Abstract

Let G be a locally compact group, and ZL1(G) be the centre of its group algebra. We show that when GG is compact ZL1(G) is not amenable when G is either nonabelian and connected, or is a product of infinitely many finite nonabelian groups. We also, study, for some non-compact groups G, some conditions which imply amenability and hyper-Tauberian property, for ZL1(G).
