Weakly almost periodic elements in $L\sb \infty(G)$ of a locally compact group

On the Cohomology of Weakly Almost Periodic Group Representations

We initiate a study of cohomological aspects of weakly almost periodic group representations on Banach spaces, in particular, isometric representations on reflexive Banach spaces. Using the Ryll-Nardzewski fixed point Theorem, we prove a vanishing result for the restriction map (with respect to a subgroup) in the reduced cohomology of weakly periodic representations. Combined with the Alaoglu-B...

Filters and the Weakly Almost Periodic Compactification of a Semitopological Semigroup

Let $S$ be a semitopological semigroup. The $wap-$ compactification of semigroup S, is a compact semitopological semigroup with certain universal properties relative to the original semigroup, and the $Lmc-$ compactification of semigroup $S$ is a universal semigroup compactification of $S$, which are denoted by $S^{wap}$ and $S^{Lmc}$ respectively. In this paper, an internal construction of ...

Complexity of Weakly Almost Periodic Functions

Given a topological group G let C(G) denote the Banach space of bounded, continous real valued function on G. Eberlein [1] defined a function f ∈ C(G) to be weakly almost periodic if the weak closure of all of its translates is compact in the weak topology on C(G) — in other words, if fx(y) is defined to be f(yx−1) then the weak closure of {fx | x ∈ G} is weakly compact. The set of weakly almos...

Weakly Almost Periodic Functions and Thin Sets in Discrete Groups

A subset E of an infinite discrete group G is called (i) an Rw-set if any bounded function on G supported by E is weakly almost periodic, (ii) a weak p-Sidon set (1 ~ p < 2) if on II (E) the IP -norm is bounded by a constant times the maximal C·-norm of I\G) , (iii) a T-set if xE n E and Ex n E are finite whenever x of e, and (iv) an FT-set if it is a finite union of T-sets. In this paper, we s...
