Let G1 and G2 be compact groups and T : Lp(G1)LP(G2) (1 ≦ P ≦ ∞ ) be an algebra homomorphism. If || T || ≦ 1 and T is either a monomorphism of an epimorphism then T can in many cases be explicitly characterized (see [4 ; 8 ; 9 ; 11 ; 13 ; 14]). Excluding p = 2, the outstanding cases are 1 < p < ∞ for monomorphisms and 2 < p < ∞ for epimorphisms (cf. [14]). One aim of the present note is to complete this work. We also consider the problem of extending these results in some form to homomorphisms on ideals of group algebras; the only known result in this area is for abelian groups [3].
