Structural Properties of Inner Amenable Discrete Groups

On component extensions locally compact abelian groups

Let $pounds$ be the category of locally compact abelian groups and $A,Cin pounds$. In this paper, we define component extensions of $A$ by $C$ and show that the set of all component extensions of $A$ by $C$ forms a subgroup of $Ext(C,A)$ whenever $A$ is a connected group. We establish conditions under which the component extensions split and determine LCA groups which are component projective. ...

Bracket Products on Locally Compact Abelian Groups

We define a new function-valued inner product on L2(G), called ?-bracket product, where G is a locally compact abelian group and ? is a topological isomorphism on G. We investigate the notion of ?-orthogonality, Bessel's Inequality and ?-orthonormal bases with respect to this inner product on L2(G).

Amenable Groups with a Locally Invariant Order Are Locally Indicable

We show that every amenable group with a locally invariant partial order has a left-invariant total order (and is therefore locally indicable). We also show that if a group G admits a left-invariant total order, and H is a locally nilpotent subgroup of G, then a left-invariant total order on G can be chosen so that its restriction to H is both left-invariant and right-invariant. Both results fo...

Quasi-Discrete Locally Compact Quantum Groups

Let A be a C *-algebra. Let A ⊗ A be the minimal C *-tensor product of A with itself and let M (A ⊗ A) be the multiplier algebra of A ⊗ A. A comultiplication on A is a non-degenerate *-homomorphism ∆ : A → M (A ⊗ A) satisfying the coassociativity law (∆ ⊗ ι)∆ = (ι ⊗ ∆)∆ where ι is the identity map and where ∆ ⊗ ι and ι ⊗ ∆ are the unique extensions to M (A ⊗ A) of the obvious maps on A ⊗ A. We ...
