Weakly almost periodic functionals, representations, and operator spaces

چکیده
A theorem of Davis, Figiel, Johnson and Pe lczyński tells us that weakly-compact operators between Banach spaces factor through reflexive Banach spaces. The machinery underlying this result is that of the real interpolation method, which has been adapted to the category of operator spaces by Xu, showing the this factorisation result also holds for completely bounded weakly-compact maps. In this note, we show that Xu’s ideas can be adapted to give an intrinsic characterisation of when a completely contractive Banach algebra arises as a closed subalgebra of the algebra of completely bounded operators on a reflexive operator space. This result was shown by Young for Banach algebras, and our characterisation is a direct analogue of Young’s, involving weakly almost periodic functionals.

Weakly almost periodic functionals on the measure algebra
It is shown that the collection of weakly almost periodic functionals on the convolution algebra of a commutative Hopf von Neumann algebra is a C∗-algebra. This implies that the weakly almost periodic functionals on M(G), the measure algebra of a locally compact group G, is a C∗-subalgebra of M(G)∗ = C0(G) ∗∗. The proof builds upon a factorisation result, due to Young and Kaiser, for weakly com...
متن کاملOn 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...
متن کاملINCLUSION RELATIONS CONCERNING WEAKLY ALMOST PERIODIC FUNCTIONS AND FUNCTIONS VANISHING AT INFINITY
We consider the space of weakly almost periodic functions on a transformation semigroup (S, X , ?) and show that if X is a locally compact noncompact uniform space, and ? is a separately continuous, separately proper, and equicontinuous action of S on X, then every continuous function on X, vanishing at infinity is weakly almost periodic. We also use a number of diverse examples to show ...
متن کاملFunctorial properties of weakly almost periodic functionals on the measure algebra
Let G be a locally compact group, and consider the weakly-almost periodic functionals on M(G), the measure algebra of G, denoted by WAP(M(G)). This is a C∗-subalgebra of the commutative C∗-algebra M(G)∗, and so has character space, say K. In this paper, we investigate properties of K. We present two proofs, one using tensor product techniques, and the other using vector-valued integration, to s...
متن کاملOrder Almost Dunford-Pettis Operators on Banach Lattices
By introducing the concepts of order almost Dunford-Pettis and almost weakly limited operators in Banach lattices, we give some properties of them related to some well known classes of operators, such as, order weakly compact, order Dunford-Pettis, weak and almost Dunford- Pettis and weakly limited operators. Then, we characterize Banach lat- tices E and F on which each operator from E into F t...
