Let $ H $ be a compact subgroup of a locally compact group $G$. In this paper we define a convolution on $ M(G/H) $, the space of all complex bounded Radon measures on the homogeneous space G/H. Then we prove that the measure space $ M(G/H,…

We consider certain positive definite functions on a finitely generated free group G that are defined with respect to a given basis in terms of word length and the number of negative-to-positive generator exponent switches. Some of these…

Associative algebras with involution over a field of zero characteristic are considered. It is proved that in this case for any finitely generated associative algebra with involution there exists a finite dimensional algebra with involution…

Let R be a commutative ring. If P is a maximal ideal of R whose a power is finitely generated then we prove that P is finitely generated if R is either locally coherent or arithmetical or a polynomial ring over a ring of global dimension…

We review and analyse techniques from the literature for extending a normed algebra, A to a normed algebra, B, so that B has interesting or desirable properties which A may lack. For example, B might include roots of monic polynomials over…

We prove that for a Banach algebra $A$ having a bounded $\mathcal{Z}(A)$-approximate identity and for every $\bf[IN]$ group $G$ with weight $w$ which is either constant on conjugacy classes or $w \geq 1$, $\mathcal{Z}\big(L^1_w(G)…

We define a Banach algebra A to be dual if $A = (A_\ast)^\ast$ for a closed submodule $A_\ast$ of $A^\ast$. The class of dual Banach algebras includes all $W^\ast$-algebras, but also all algebras M(G) for locally compact groups G, all…

A group is metabelian if its commutator subgroup is abelian. For finitely generated metabelian groups, classical commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and geometric group theory, especially the latter two subjects, can be brought to bear…

We study a function $\mathcal{L}_{\Gamma}$ which quantifies the LEF (local embeddability into finite groups) property for a finitely generated group $\Gamma$. We compute this "LEF growth" function in some examples, including certain wreath…

Let G be a finite group and let k be a field of characteristic p. Given a finitely generated indecomposable non-projective kG-module M, we conjecture that if the Tate cohomology $\HHHH^*(G, M)$ of G with coefficients in M is finitely…

The Lefschetz question asks if multiplication by a power of a general linear form, $L$, on a graded algebra has maximal rank (in every degree). We consider a quotient by an ideal that is generated by powers of linear forms. Then the…

We study the connection between amenability, F{\o}lner conditions and the geometry of finitely generated semigroups. Using results of Klawe, we show that within an extremely broad class of semigroups (encompassing all groups, left…

We study the finitely generated Hausdorff spectrum of spinal automorphism groups acting on rooted trees. Given any $\alpha \in [0,1]$, we construct a branch group $G_\alpha$ such that $G_\alpha$ has a finitely generated subgroup $H$ where…

We prove that a finitely generated soluble residually finite group has polynomial index growth if and only if it is a minimax group. We also show that if a finitely generated group with PIG is residually finite-soluble then it is a linear…

We study completions of the group algebra of a finitely generated group and relate nuclearity of such a completion to growth properties of the group. This extends previous work of Jolissaint on nuclearity of rapidly decreasing functions on…

In this paper we are going to investigate the approximate biprojectivity and the $\phi$-biflatness of some Banach algebras related to the locally compact groups. We show that a Segal algebra $S(G)$ is approximate biprojective if and only if…

For $p\in [1,\infty)$ we study representations of a locally compact group $G$ on $L^p$-spaces and $QSL^p$-spaces. The universal completions $F^p(G)$ and $F^p_{\mathrm{QS}}(G)$ of $L^1(G)$ with respect to these classes of representations…

Let ${\mathcal G}$ be a locally compact group. In continuation of our studies on the first and second duals of measure algebras by the use of the theory of generalised functions, here we study the C$^*$-subalgebra $GL_0({\mathcal G})$ of…

We introduce finitely $C^\infty$-generated algebras, which can be treated as `algebras of functions' on non-commutative $C^\infty$-differentiable spaces. Our approach uses the category of projective limits of real Banach algebras of…

Given an epimorphism between topological groups $f:G\to H$, when can a generating set of $H$ be lifted to a generating set of $G$? We show that for connected Lie groups the problem is fundamentally abelian: generators can be lifted if and…
