It was shown in a previous work of the first named author with De Chiffre, Glebsky and Thom that there exists a finitely presented group which cannot be approximated by almost-homomorphisms to the unitary groups $U(n)$ equipped with the…

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…

Given $0\leq\alpha<1$, we define \[\begin{array}{lr} \mathbf{M}_\alpha f(u,v,t) = \sup_{ \mathbf{R} \ni (0,0,0)} {\rm vol} \{\mathbf{R}\}^{\alpha-1} \iiint_\mathbf{R}\left|f [(u,v,t)\odot(\xi,\eta,\tau)^{-1}]\right|d\xi d\eta d\tau…

We study the class of functions $f$ on $\mathbb{R}$ satisfying a Lipschitz estimate in the Schatten ideal $\mathcal{L}_p$ for $0 < p \leq 1$. The corresponding problem with $p\geq 1$ has been extensively studied, but the quasi-Banach range…

In this paper we address the following question: given $ p\in (1,\infty)$, $n \geq 1$, does there exists a constant $A(p,n)>1$ such that $\| M f\|_{L^{p}}\geq A(n,p) \| f\|_{L^{p}}$ for any nonnegative $f \in L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$, where…

Several questions of approximation theory are discussed: 1) can one approximate stably in $L^\infty$ norm $f^\prime$ given approximation $f_\delta, \parallel f_\delta - f \parallel_{L^\infty} < \delta$, of an unknown smooth function $f(x)$,…

We continue the investigation of notions of approximate amenability that were introduced in work of the second and third authors. It is shown that every boundedly approximately contractible Banach algebra has a bounded approximate identity.…

We establish an operator-theoretic uncertainty principle over arbitrary compact groups, generalizing several previous results. As a consequence, we show that if f is in L^2(G), then the product of the measures of the supports of f and its…

For any $p\in[1,\infty]$, we prove that the set of simple functions taking at most $k$ different values is proximinal in $L^p$ for all $k\geq 1$. We introduce the class of uniformly approximable subsets of $L^p$, which is larger than the…

We prove that every uniform approximate homomorphism from a discrete amenable group into a symmetric group is uniformly close to a homomorphism into a slightly larger symmetric group. That is, amenable groups are uniformly flexibly stable…

For $m \geq 2$, let $(\mathbb{Z}_{m+1}^N, |\cdot|)$ denote the group equipped with the so-called $l^0$ metric, \[ |y| = \left| \big( y(1), \dots, y(N) \big) \right| := | \{1 \leq i \leq N : y(i) \neq 0 \} |,\] and define the…

We study the maximum Hamming distance (or rather, the complementary notion of "minimum approximability") of a general function on a finite group $G$ to either of the sets $\operatorname{End}(G)$ and $\operatorname{Aff}(G)$, of group…

In this article we consider a modification of the Stein's spherical maximal operator of complex order $\alpha$ on ${\mathbb R^n}$: $$ {\mathfrak M}^\alpha_{[1,2]} f(x) =\sup\limits_{t\in [1,2]} \big| {1\over \Gamma(\alpha) } \int_{|y|\leq…

We define spatial $L^p$ AF algebras for $p \in [1, \infty) \setminus \{ 2 \}$, and prove the following analog of the Elliott AF algebra classification theorem. If $A$ and $B$ are spatial $L^p$ AF algebras, then the following are equivalent:…

We initiate an investigation into how much the existing theory of (nonselfadjoint) operator algebras on a Hilbert space generalizes to algebras acting on L^p spaces. In particular we investigate the applicability of the theory of real…

We study Fourier multiplier operators associated with symbols $\xi\mapsto \exp(i\lambda\phi(\xi/|\xi|))$, where $\lambda$ is a real number and $\phi$ is a real-valued $C^\infty$ function on the standard unit sphere…

For $1<p<\infty$, we prove (i) a version of Voiculescu's absorption theorem for operators on $l^{p}$, (ii) that $\mathrm{Ext}_{\sim,s}(\mathcal{A},K(l^{p}))$ is a group for certain Banach algebra $\mathcal{A}$, and (iii) homotopy invariance…

We extend F{\o}lner's amenability criterion to the realm of general topological groups. Building on this, we show that a topological group $G$ is amenable if and only if its left translation action can be approximated in a uniform manner by…

For a nontrivial locally compact group $G$, and $p\in [1,\infty)$, consider the Banach algebras of $p$-pseudofunctions, $p$-pseudomeasures, $p$-convolvers, and the full group $L^p$-operator algebra. We show that these Banach algebras are…

Not all approximations arise from information systems. The problem of fitting approximations, subjected to some rules (and related data), to information systems in a rough scheme of things is known as the \emph{inverse problem}. The inverse…
