In this paper, we consider various extension problems associated with elements in the the closure with respect to either the multiplier norm or the completely bounded multiplier norm of the Fourier algebra of a locally compact group. In particular, we show that it is not always possible to extend an element in the closure with respect to the multiplier norm of the Fourier algebra of the free gr...

Let G be a compact abelian group and let T be the character group of G. Suppose £ is a subset of T. A trigonometric polynomial f on G is said to be an ^-polynomial if its Fourier transform / vanishes off E. The set E is said to be a Sidon set if there is a positive number B such that 2^xeb |/(X)| á-B||/||u for all E-polynomials /; here, ||/||„ = sup{ |/(x)| : xEG}. In this note we shall discuss...

Suppose that $A$ is a semi-simple and commutative Banach algebra. In this paper we try to characterize the character space of the Banach algebra $C_{rm{BSE}}(Delta(A))$ consisting of all  BSE-functions on $Delta(A)$ where $Delta(A)$ denotes the character space of $A$. Indeed, in the case that $A=C_0(X)$ where $X$ is a non-empty locally compact Hausdroff space, we give a complete characterizatio...

0. Introduction. Let G be a locally compact Abelian group, and G* its group of (continuous) characters. We write (y, x) to indicate the function on G*XG which is the value of the character y EG* at the point *6G, or, dually, the value of the character xEG at the point y EG*. Borel sets in G are taken to be the smallest cr-algebra of sets containing all closed sets. We consider the set of all re...

If 0 « (t)-)-s then, for any /3 > oc, Op (t)->-s. It is sufficient to assume that s = 0. By (3), since F(t) is increasing, op(t) <-a q « (t) and the required result follows immediately. t LEMMA 6. Let y(t) be an increasing function. If g(t) =10 y(u) du-sta as t-*0, then y(t)~sct a-1 The proof is similar to that of a result due to Hardy and Littlewood*, to which the lemma reduces when y(t) is a ...
