Geodesically complete affine manifolds are quotients of the Euclidean space through a properly discontinuous action of a subgroup of affine Euclidean transformations. An equivalent definition is that the tangent bundle of such a manifold admits a flat, symmetric and complete connection. If the completeness assumption is dropped, the manifold is not necessarily obtained as the quotient of the Eu...

Let G be a locally compact group. Then G is known to be amenable if and only if it has Reiter’s property (P1), i.e., there is a net (mα)α of non-negative norm one functions in L(G) such that limα supx∈K ‖Lx−1mα−mα‖ = 0 for each compact subset K ⊂ G (Lx−1mα stands for the left translate of mα by x). We give a formulation of property (P1) that extends naturally to locally compact quantum groups i...

In this paper, a Krein-Milman  type theorem in $T_0$ semitopological cone is proved,  in general. In fact, it is shown that in any locally convex $T_0$ semitopological cone, every convex compact saturated subset is the compact saturated convex hull of its extreme points, which improves the results of Larrecq.

(using the restricted product topology ensures that a 7→ a−1 is continuous, which is not true of the subspace topology). As a topological group, IK is locally compact and Hausdorff. The multiplicative group K× is canonically embedded as a discrete subgroup of IK via the diagonal map x 7→ (x, x, x, . . .), and the idele class group is the quotient CK := IK/K, which is locally compact but not com...

The concepts of semimartingales and their characteristic triples are introduced for stochastic processes taking their values in a locally compact second countable abelian group. It is proved that the third characteristic always exists and that the first two characteristics always exist when the group is compact. Any continuous additive Gaussian process in a locally compact second countable abel...

Let G be a locally compact group, and let WAP(G) denote the space of weakly almost periodic functions on G. We show that, if G is a [SIN]-group, but not compact, then the dual Banach algebra WAP(G)∗ does not have a normal, virtual diagonal. Consequently, whenever G is an amenable, non-compact [SIN]-group, WAP(G)∗ is an example of a Connes-amenable, dual Banach algebra without a normal, virtual ...

Let G be a locally compact abelian group with dual group Ĝ. The Hausdorff–Young theorem states that if f ∈ Lp(G), where 1 ≤ p ≤ 2, then its Fourier transform Fp(f) belongs to Lq(Ĝ) (where 1 p + 1 q = 1) and ||Fp(f)||q ≤ ||f ||p. Kunze and Terp extended this to unimodular and locally compact groups, respectively. We further generalize this result to an arbitrary locally compact quantum group G b...
