Abstract:
Integral operators are investigated which are compositions of multiplication by bounded vector valued functions and convolutions with vector valued functions. All of the functions are based on a fixed locally compact group. Conditions are given under which certain of these operators are compact. As an application of these conditions we consider induced representations of twisted group algebras (these are generalizations of representations of groups induced from closed normal sub-groups in the sense of Mackey and include these as special cases) and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for these representations to be compact (that is, to consist entirely of compact operators).References
