A theorem on abstract Segal algebras over some commutative Banach algebras
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 April 2009
Abstract
Let B be a commutative, semi-simple, regular, Tauberian Banach algebra with noncompact maximal ideal space Δ(B). Suppose B has the property that there is a constant C such that for every compact subset K of Δ(B) there exists a f ∈ B with = 1 on K, ‖f‖B ≤ C and has compact support. We prove that if A is a proper abstract Segal algebra over B then for every positive integer n there exists f ∈ B such that fn ∉ A but fn+1 ∈ A. As a consequence of this result we prove that if G is a nondiscrete locally compact abelian group, μ a positive unbounded Radon measure on Γ (the dual group of G), 1 ≤ p < q < ∞ and , then .
