It is known that in (regular) unital and in subtractive categories, internal abelian groups are simply behaved; e.g., they are the same as internal algebras $(A,s)$ satisfying $s(x,0)=x$ and $s(x,x)=0$, i.e., \emph{subtraction algebras}.…

Let $G$ be a compact group and let $A^n(G)$ denote the multidimensional Fourier algebra introduced by Todorov and Turowska. In this note, we first define the multidimensional version of the Varopolous algebra and show that the…

We let the central Fourier algebra, ZA(G), be the subalgebra of functions u in the Fourier algebra A(G) of a compact group, for which u(xyx^{-1})=u(y) for all x,y in G. We show that this algebra admits bounded point derivations whenever G…

Let $(X,+,d)$ be an Abelian metric group and $A\subset X$. We investigate the spectre of a set $A$, defined as the set of all elements $z\in X$ such that for every $x\in A$ either $x+z \in A$ or $x-z \in A$. We consider the corresponding to…

Every homomorphism $\varphi: B(G) \rightarrow B(H)$ between Fourier-Stieltjes algebras on locally compact groups $G$ and $H$ is determined by a continuous mapping $\alpha: Y \rightarrow \Delta(B(G))$, where $Y$ is a set in the open coset…

We study spectral synthesis for measures supported on thin subsets of compact Riemannian manifolds. We prove that under natural non-concentration conditions, such measures admit quantitative spectral synthesis, with explicit stability…

Actions of a locally compact group G on a measure space X give rise to unitary representations of G on Hilbert spaces. We review results on the rigidity of these actions from the spectral point of view, that is, results about the existence…

Let $G$ be a semi-direct product $G=A\times_\phi K$ with $A$ Abelian and $K$ compact. We characterize spread-out probability measures on $G$ that are mixing by convolutions by means of their Fourier transforms. A key tool is a spectral…

Effect algebras were introduced as an abstract algebraic model for Hilbert space effects representing quantum mechanical measurements. We study additional structures on an effect algebra $E$ that enable us to define spectrality and spectral…

A locally compact contraction group is a pair (G,f) where G is a locally compact group and f an automorphism of G which is contractive in the sense that the forward orbit under f of each g in G converges to the neutral element e, as n tends…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\mathcal{U} (\mathbb{Z} G)$ the unit group of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$. We prove a unit theorem, namely a characterization of when $\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{Z}G)$ satisfies Kazhdan's property…

We prove the integral Hodge conjecture for one-cycles on a principally polarized complex abelian variety whose minimal class is algebraic. In particular, any product of Jacobians of smooth projective curves over the complex numbers…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $1\leq p<\infty$. A continuous unitary representation $\pi\!: G\to B(\mathcal{H})$ of $G$ is an $L^p$-representation if the matrix coefficient functions $s\mapsto \langle \pi(s)x,x\rangle$ lie in…

Let G be an orthogonal or symplectic p-adic group (not necessarily split) or an inner form of a general linear p-adic group. In a previous paper, it was shown that the Bernstein components of the category of smooth representations of G are…

We define the spine A*(G) of the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra B(G) of a locally compact group G. A*(G) is graded over a certain semi-lattice, that of non-quotient locally precompact topologies on G. We compute the spine's spectrum G*, which…

The abelian sandpile models feature a finite abelian group $G$ generated by the operators corresponding to particle addition at various sites. We study the canonical decomposition of $G$ as a product of cyclic groups $G = Z_{d_1} \times…

We study the following question: given a locally compact group when does its Fourier algebra coincide with the subalgebra of the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra consisting of functions vanishing at infinity? We provide sufficient conditions for…

We prove the spectral gap property for random walks on the product of two non-locally isomorphic analytic real or p-adic compact groups with simple Lie algebras, under the necessary condition that the marginals posses a spectral gap.…

The Delsarte extremal problem for positive definite functions, originally introduced by Delsarte in coding theory to bound the size of error-correcting codes, has since found applications in diverse areas such as sphere packing, Fuglede's…

Inspired by Kalton and Wood's work on group algebras, we describe almost completely contractive algebra homomorphisms from Fourier algebras into Fourier-Stieltjes algebras (endowed with their canonical operator space structure). We also…
