In (3) it is shown that, for a locally compact abelian group G and x∈G, δx has a logarithm in M(G) if and only if x has finite order. Since M(G) can be identified with the multipliers of L1(G), one might expect a similar result for the algebras of multipliers on Lp(G) for 1 < p < ∞. However, in contrast, it is shown in (2) that for a locally compact abelian group G and 1 < p < ∞, every translation operator on Lp(G) has a logarithm in the multiplier algebra. Here we consider whether the same results are true for non-abelian groups.
