Abstract:

In this paper we investigated when the dual of a certain function space defined on a locally compact group has certain geometric properties. More particularly, we asked when weak$^{*}$ compact convex subsets in these spaces have normal structure, and when the norm of these spaces satisfies one of several types of Kadec-Klee property. As samples of the results we have obtained, we have proved, among other things, the following two results: (1) The measure algebra of a locally compact group has weak$^{*}$-normal structure iff it has property SUKK$^{*}$ iff it has property SKK$^{*}$ iff the group is discrete; (2) Among amenable locally compact groups, the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra has property SUKK$^{*}$ iff it has property SKK$^{*}$ iff the group is compact. Consequently the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra has weak$^{*}$-normal structure when the group is compact.
