For a locally compact group G and p ∈ (1,∞), we define Bp(G) to be the space of all coefficient functions of isometric representations of G on quotients of subspaces of Lp spaces. For p = 2, this is the usual Fourier–Stieltjes algebra. We show that Bp(G) is a commutative Banach algebra that contractively (isometrically, if G is amenable) contains the Figà-Talamanca–Herz algebra Ap(G). If 2 ≤ q ...

This paper studies Newton-type methods for minimization of partly smooth convex functions. Sequential Newton methods are provided using local parameterizations obtained from U -Lagrangian theory and from Riemannian geometry. The Hessian based on the U -Lagrangian depends on the selection of a dual parameter g; by revealing the connection to Riemannian geometry, a natural choice of g emerges for...

Abstract We prove that if G is a discrete group and $$(A,G,\alpha )$$ ( A , G α ) C*-dynamical system such the reduced crossed product $$A\rtimes _{r,\alpha } G$$ ⋊ r...

We show that the general Levy process can be embedded in a suitable Fock space, classified by cocycles of the real line regarded as a group. The formula of de Finetti corresponds to coboundaries. Kolmogorov’s processes correspond to cocycles of which the derivative is a cocycle of the Lie algebra of R. The Lévy formula gives the general cocycle. 1 Cyclic representations of groups Let G be a gro...
