Abstract:
Let $G$ be a locally compact group, $A(G)$ the Fourier algebra of $G$ and $VN(G)$ the von Neumann algebra generated by the left regular representation of $G$. We introduce the notion of $X$-spectral set and $X$-Ditkin set when $X$ is an $A(G)$-invariant linear subspace of $VN(G)$, thus providing a unified approach to both spectral and Ditkin sets and their local variants. Among other things, we prove results on unions of $X$-spectral sets and $X$-Ditkin sets, and an injection theorem for $X$-spectral sets.References
