This paper concerns the study of regular Fourier hypergroups through multipliers of their associated Fourier algebras. We establish hypergroup analogues of well-known characterizations of group amenability, introduce a notion of weak…

We show that for algebraic groups over local fields of characteristic zero, the following are equivalent: Every homomorphism has a closed image, every unitary representation decomposes into a direct sum of finite-dimensional and mixing…

Let $M_C(G)$ be the moduli space of semistable principal $G-$bundles over a smooth curve $C$. We show that a flat degeneration of this space $M_{C_{\Gamma}}(G)$ associated to a singular stable curve $C_{\Gamma}$ contains the free group…

For any locally compact group $G$ and any Banach algebra $A$, a characterization of the closed Lie ideals of the generalized group algebra $L^1(G,A)$ is obtained in terms of left and right actions by $G$ and $A$. In addition, when $A$ is…

A locally compact group $G$ is compact if and only if $L^1(G)$ is an ideal in $L^1(G)^{**}$, and the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of $G$ is an ideal in $A(G)^{**}$ if and only if $G$ is discrete. On the other hand, $G$ is discrete if and only if…

Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian Hausdorff topological group which is non-compact and whose Pontryagin dual $\Gamma$ is partially ordered. Let $\Gamma^{+}\subset\Gamma$ be the semigroup of positive elements in $\Gamma$. The Hardy space…

For a real reductive group G, the center $\mathfrak{z}(\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g}))$ of the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of G acts on the space of distributions on G. This action proved to be very useful (see…

In this work, we generalize the notion of character for 2-representations of finite 2-groups. The properties of 2-characters bear strong similarities to those classical characters of finite groups, including conjugation invariance,…

We prove a number of results linking properties of actions by compact groups (both quantum and classical) on Banach spaces, such as uniform continuity, spectrum finiteness and extensibility of the actions across several constructions.…

The moduli space for a flat G-bundle over the two-torus is completely determined by its holonomy representation. When G is compact, connected, and simply connected, we show that the moduli space is homeomorphic to a product of two tori mod…

Let $G$ be a connected Lie group. In this paper, we study the density of the images of individual power maps $P_k:G\to G:g\mapsto g^k$. We give criteria for the density of $P_k(G)$ in terms of regular elements, as well as Cartan subgroups.…

Using the quantum Fourier transform F, we describe the block decomposition and multiplicative structure of a subalgebra Z + F(Z) in the center of the small quantum group u_l at a root of unity. It contains the previously known subalgebra Z,…

For a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ we define its center, $\mathscr{Z}(\mathbb{G})$, and its quantum group of inner automorphisms, $\mathrm{Inn}(\mathbb{G})$. We show that one obtains a natural isomorphism between…

We consider amenability constants of the central Fourier algebra $ZA(G)$ of a finite group $G$. This is a dual object to $ZL^1(G)$ in the sense of hypergroup algebras, and as such shares similar amenability theory. We will provide several…

Motivated by classical investigation of conjugation invariant positive-definite functions on discrete groups, we study tracial central states on universal C*-algebras associated with compact quantum groups, where centrality is understood in…

A common fixed point property for semigroups is applied to show that the group algebra $L^1(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ is $2m$-weakly amenable for each integer $m\geq 1$.

In this paper we associate to every reduced C*-algebraic quantum group A a universal C*-algebraic quantum group. We fine tune a proof of Kirchberg to show that every *-representation of a modified L1-space is generated by a unitary…

Suppose that A is a subset of F_2^n of density as close to 1/3 as possible. We show that the A(F_2^n)-norm (that is the sum of the absolute values of the Fourier transform) of the characterstic function of A is bounded below by an absolute…

For a compactly generated LCA group $G$, it is shown that the set $H(G)$ of all generalized characters on $G$ equipped with the compact-open topology is a LCA group and $H(G) = \dg$ (the dual group of $G$) if and only if $G$ is compact.…

Building on our previous work, we study the non-relative homology of quantum group convolution algebras. Our main result establishes the equivalence of amenability of a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ and 1-injectivity of…
