Let $G$ be a non-compact connected semisimple real Lie group with finite center. Suppose $L$ is a non-compact connected closed subgroup of $G$ acting transitively on a symmetric space $G/H$ such that $L\cap H$ is compact. We study the…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group which is $\sigma $-compact, endowed with a left Haar measure $\lambda .$ Denote by $e$ the unit element of $G$, and by $B$ an open relatively compact and symmetric neighbourhood of $e$. For every $(p,q) $…

For $\a,\b>0$ and for a locally integrable function (or, more generally, a distribution) $\f$ on $(0,\be)$, we study integral ooperators ${\frak G}^{\a,\b}_\f$ on $L^2(\R_+)$ defined by $\big({\frak G}^{\a,\b}_\f…

We show that the analyticity of semigroups $(T_t)_{t \geq 0}$ of (not necessarily positive) selfadjoint contractive Fourier multipliers on $\mathrm{L}^p$-spaces of any abelian locally compact group is preserved by the tensorisation of the…

A detailed study of the semigroup $C^\ast$-algebra is presented. This $C^\ast$-algebra appears as a "deformation" of the continuous functions algebra on a compact abelian group. Considering semigroup $C^\ast$-algebras in this framework we…

We study a generalisation of operator spaces modelled on $L_p$ spaces, instead of Hilbert spaces, using the notion of $p$-complete boundedness, as studied by Pisier and Le Merdy. We show that the Fig\'a-Talamanca-Herz Algebras $A_p(G)$…

We construct various examples of non-trivial closed ideals of the compact-by-approximable algebra $\mathfrak{A}_X =:\mathcal K(X)/\mathcal A(X)$ on Banach spaces $X$ failing the approximation property. The examples include the following:…

An operator $T \in \mathcal{B}(X)$ defined on a Banach space $X$ satisfies property $(gb)$ if the complement in the approximate point spectrum $\sigma_{a}(T)$ of the upper semi-B-Weyl spectrum $\sigma_{SBF_{+}^{-}}(T)$ coincides with the…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and $\mathcal A$ be the Banach algebra $B(X)$ of bounded (i.e. continuous) linear transformations (to be called operators) on $X$ to itself. Let $\mathcal E$ be the set of idempotents in $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal…

Let ${\mathcal A}$ and ${\frak A}$ be Banach algebras such that ${\mathcal A}$ is a Banach ${\frak A}$-bimodule with compatible actions. We define the product ${\cal A}\rtimes{\frak A}$, which is a strongly splitting Banach algebra…

For a discrete group G with Fourier algebra A(G), we study the topological centre $Z_t$ of the bidual. If G is amenable, then $Z_t$ = A(G). But if G contains a non-abelian free group $F_r$, we show that $Z_t$ is strictly larger than A(G).…

Let $X(\mathbb{R})$ be a separable Banach function space such that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded $X(\mathbb{R})$ and on its associate space $X'(\mathbb{R})$. The algebra $C_X(\dot{\mathbb{R}})$ of continuous Fourier…

Let $\mathcal A$ be a Banach algebra for which the group of invertible elements is connected. A subspace $\mathcal L \subseteq \mathcal A$ is a Lie ideal in $\mathcal A$ if, and only if, it is invariant under inner automorphisms. This…

Let $\Phi$ be a $C^*$-subalgebra of $L^\infty(\mathbb{R})$ and $SO_{X(\mathbb{R})}^\diamond$ be the Banach algebra of slowly oscillating Fourier multipliers on a Banach function space $X(\mathbb{R})$. We show that the intersection of the…

If H is a flat group of automorphisms of finite rank n of a totally disconnected, locally compact group G, then each orbit of H in the metric space B(G) of compact, open subgroups of G is quasi-isometric to n-dimensional euclidean space. In…

By a result of Nagy, the C*-algebra of continuous functions on the q-deformation G_q of a simply connected semisimple compact Lie group G is KK-equivalent to C(G). We show that under this equivalence the K-homology class of the Dirac…

In this paper, we investigate homological properties of Banach algebras. We show that retractions Banach algebras preserve biprojectivity, contractibility and biflatness. We also prove that contractibility of second dual of a Banach algebra…

We consider arbitrary embeddings of surface operators in a pure, non-supersymmetric abelian gauge theory on spin (non-spin) four-manifolds. For any surface operator with a priori simultaneously non-vanishing parameters, we explicitly show…

We investigate some subtle and interesting phenomena in the duality theory of operator spaces and operator algebras. In particular, we give several applications of operator space theory, based on the surprising fact that certain maps are…
