Amenability and Invariant subspaces of the algebra of pseudomeasures
Arvish Dabra, N. Shravan Kumar
TL;DR
The paper develops a structural link between amenability and invariant subspaces of the $Ψ$-pseudomeasure algebra $PM_Ψ(G)$ alongside the Orlicz Figà-Talamanca Herz algebra $A_Φ(G)$. It shows that, for amenable $G$ and a MA-satisfying Young pair $(Φ,Ψ)$, there are precise correspondences between norm-closed topologically invariant subalgebras of $PM_Ψ(G)$ and closed subgroups of $G$, as well as between certain invariant subalgebras of $A_Φ(G)$ and compact subgroups. The methodology combines duality between $A_Φ(G)$ and $PM_Ψ(G)$, properties of topologically introverted subspaces, spectral synthesis, and fixed-point arguments to establish bijections and amenability criteria. These results extend classical Lau–Ülger-type correspondences from $PM_p(G)$ to the Orlicz setting, yielding insights into the harmonic analysis on locally compact groups with general Orlicz structures.
Abstract
Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $(Φ,Ψ)$ a complimentary pair of Young functions. In this article, we consider the Banach algebra of $Ψ$-pseudomeasures $PM_Ψ(G)$ and the Orlicz Figà-Talamanca Herz algebra $A_Φ(G).$ We prove sufficient conditions for a group $G$ to be amenable in terms of the norm closed topologically invariant subspaces of $PM_Ψ(G).$ Further, for an amenable group $G$ with the Young function $Φ$ satisfying the MA condition, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between certain topologically invariant subalgebras of $PM_Ψ(G)$ and the class of closed subgroups of $G.$ Moreover, we prove a similar result for the predual $A_Φ(G)$ and derive a bijection between certain topologically invariant subalgebras of $A_Φ(G)$ and the set of compact subgroups of $G.$
