We show that for a connected Lie group $G$, its Fourier algebra $A(G)$ is weakly amenable only if $G$ is abelian. Our main new idea is to show that weak amenability of $A(G)$ implies that the anti-diagonal,…

This paper continues the study of spectral synthesis and the topologies $\tau_{\infty}$ and $\tau_r$ on the ideal space of a Banach algebra, concentrating on the class of Banach $^*$-algebras, and in particular on $L^1$-group algebras. It…

We show that the biflatness - in the sense of A. Ya. Helemskii - of the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ forces $G$ to either have an abelian subgroup of finite index or to be non-amenable without containing $F_2$, the…

For a locally compact group $G$, let $A(G)$ denote its Fourier algebra and $\hat{G}$ its dual object, i.e. the collection of equivalence classes of unitary represenations of $G$. We show that the amenability constant of $A(G)$ is less than…

The class of locally compact near abelian groups is introduced and investigated as a class of metabelian groups formalizing and applying the concept of scalar multiplication. The structure of locally compact near abelian groups and its…

The interplay between the invariant subspace theory and spectral synthesis for locally compact abelian group discovered by Arveson is extended to include other topics as harmonic analysis for Varopoulos algebras and approximation by…

We show that spectral synthesis thresholds are governed by a quantitative spectral complexity parameter, the Fourier Ratio, in addition to the geometric size of the Fourier support. In the Euclidean setting, we prove that if a compactly…

We give for a compact group G, a full characterisation of when its Fourier algebra A(G) is weakly amenable: when the connected component of the identity G_e is abelian. This condition is also equivalent to the hyper-Tauberian property for…

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…

In this paper we start studying spectral properties of the Fourier-Stieltjes algebras, largely following Zafran's work on the algebra of measures on a locally compact group. We show that for a large class of discrete groups the Wiener-Pitt…

A set $\Omega$ in a locally compact abelian group is called spectral if $L^2(\Omega)$ has an orthogonal basis of group characters. An important problem, connected with the so-called Spectral Set Conjecture (saying that $\Omega$ is spectral…

Indicator functions mentioned in the title are constructed on an arbitrary nondiscrete locally compact Abelian group of finite dimension. Moreover, they can be obtained by small perturbation from any indicator function fixed beforehand. In…

We give a categorical description of all abelian varieties with commutative endomorphism ring over a finite field with $q=p^a$ elements in a fixed isogeny class in terms of pairs consisting of a fractional $\mathbb Z[\pi,q/\pi]$-ideal and a…

We extend the results by Froelich and Spronk and Turowska on the connection between operator synthesis and spectral synthesis for A(G) to second countable locally compact groups G. This gives us another proof that one-point subset of G is a…

We consider a class of semidirect products $G = \mathbb{R}^n \rtimes H$, with $H$ a suitably chosen abelian matrix group. The choice of $H$ ensures that there is a wavelet inversion formula, and we are looking for criteria to decide under…

We prove that there exists uncountably many pairwise disjoint open subsets of the Gelfand space of the measure algebra on any locally compact non-discrete abelian group which shows that this space is not separable (in fact, we prove this…

Let $R$ be a commutative (Noetherian) local ring of prime characteristic $p$ that is $F$-pure. This paper is concerned with comparison of three finite sets of radical ideals of $R$, one of which is only defined in the case when $R$ is…

For a locally compact Abelian group $G$, the algebra of Rajchman measures, denoted by $M_0(G)$, is the set of all bounded regular Borel measures on $G$ whose Fourier transform vanish at infinity. In this paper, we investigate the spectral…

We perform a general study of the structure of locally compact modules over compactly generated abelian groups. We obtain a devissage result for such modules of the form "compact-by-sheer-by-discrete", and then study more specifically the…

We present a contribution to the structure theory of locally compact groups. The emphasis is on compactly generated locally compact groups which admit no infinite discrete quotient. It is shown that such a group possesses a characteristic…
