let $pounds$ be the category of all locally compact abelian (lca) groups‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎the groups $g$ in $pounds$ are determined such that every extension $0to xto yto gto 0$ with divisible‎, ‎$sigma-$compact $x$ in $pounds$ splits‎. ‎we also determine the discrete or compactly generated lca groups $h$ such that every pure extension $0to hto yto xto 0$ splits for each divisible group $x$ ...

A locally compact group G is amenable if and only if it has Reiter’s property (Pp) for p = 1 or, equivalently, all p ∈ [1,∞), 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‖p = 0 for each compact subset K ⊂ G (Lx−1mα stands for the left translate of mα by x ). We extend the definitions of properties (P1) and (P2) from locally compact gro...

Convolution semigroups of states on a quantum group form the natural noncommutative analogue of convolution semigroups of probability measures on a locally compact group. Here we initiate a theory of weakly continuous convolution semigroups of functionals on a C∗bialgebra, the noncommutative counterpart of locally compact semigroup. On locally compact quantum groups we obtain a bijective corres...

Convolution semigroups of states on a quantum group form the natural noncommutative analogue of convolution semigroups of probability measures on a locally compact group. Here we initiate a theory of weakly continuous convolution semigroups of functionals on a C∗-bialgebra, the noncommutative counterpart of a locally compact semigroup. On locally compact quantum groups we obtain a bijective cor...

We investigate shift invariant subspaces of $L^2(G)$, where $G$ is a locally compact abelian group. We show that every shift invariant space can be decomposed as an orthogonal sum of spaces each of which is generated by a single function whose shifts form a Parseval frame. For a second countable locally compact abelian group $G$ we prove a useful Hilbert space isomorphism, introduce range funct...
