 Homogeneous Banach Spaces as Banach Convolution Modules over M ( G )Hans Georg Feichtinger
Mathematics, 2022, vol. 10, issue 3, 1-22 Abstract: This paper is supposed to form a keystone towards a new and alternative approach to Fourier analysis over LCA (locally compact Abelian) groups G . In an earlier paper the author has already shown that one can introduce convolution and the Fourier–Stieltjes transform on ( M ( G ) , ∥ · ∥ M ) , the space of bounded measures (viewed as a space of linear functionals) in an elementary fashion over R d . Bounded uniform partitions of unity (BUPUs) are easily constructed in the Euclidean setting (by dilation). Moving on to general LCA groups, it becomes an interesting challenge to find ways to construct arbitrary fine BUPUs, ideally without the use of structure theory, the existence of a Haar measure and even Lebesgue integration. This article provides such a construction and demonstrates how it can be used in order to show that any so-called homogeneous Banach space ( B , ∥ · ∥ B ) on G , such as ( L p ( G ) , ∥ · ∥ p ) , for 1 ≤ p < ∞ , or the Fourier–Stieltjes algebra F M ( G ) , and in particular any Segal algebra is a Banach convolution module over ( M ( G ) , ∥ · ∥ M ) in a natural way. Via the Haar measure we can then identify L 1 ( G ) , ∥ · ∥ 1 with the closure (of the embedded version) of C c ( G ) , the space of continuous functions with compact support, in ( M ( G ) , ∥ · ∥ M ) , and show that these homogeneous Banach spaces are essential L 1 ( G ) -modules. Thus, in particular, the approximate units act properly as one might expect and converge strongly to the identity operator. The approach is in the spirit of Hans Reiter, avoiding the use of structure theory for LCA groups and the usual techniques of vector-valued integration via duality. The ultimate (still distant) goal of this approach is to provide a new and elementary approach towards the (extended) Fourier transform in the setting of the so-called Banach–Gelfand triple ( S 0 , L 2 , S 0 ′ ) ( G ) , based on the Segal algebra S 0 ( G ) . This direction will be pursued in subsequent papers.
