Abstract

The Fourier and Fourier-Stieltjes algebras over locally compact groupoids have been defined in a way that parallels their construction for groups. In this article, we extend the results on surjectivity or lack of surjectivity of the restriction map on the Fourier and Fourier-Stieltjes algebras of groups to the groupoid setting. In particular, we consider the maps that restrict the domain of these functions in the Fourier or Fourier-Stieltjes algebra of a groupoid to an isotropy subgroup. These maps are continuous contractive algebra homomorphisms. When the groupoid is \'{e}tale, we show that the restriction map on the Fourier algebra is surjective. The restriction map on the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra is not surjective in general. We prove that for a transitive groupoid with a continuous section or a group bundle with discrete unit space, the restriction map on the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra is surjective. We further discuss the example of an HLS groupoid, and obtain a necessary condition for surjectivity of the restriction map in terms of property FD for groups, introduced by Lubotzky and Shalom. As a result, we present examples where the restriction map for the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra is not surjective. Finally, we use the surjectivity results to provide conditions for the lack of certain Banach algebraic properties, including the (weak) amenability and existence of a bounded approximate identity, in the Fourier algebra of \'{e}tale groupoids.

Typical dynamical properties of operators on $\ell_p$

We investigate the typical dynamical properties of hypercyclic operators in $\mathcal{L}_M(X)$, the set of all bounded linear operators on $X$ whose norms are at most $M$, when $X=\ell_p$, $1< p<\infty$. We show that, with respect to SOT$^*$, a typical operator $T\in \mathcal{L}_M(X)$ is weakly mixing, is weakly disjoint from a given hypercyclic operator $S$, is not topologically ergodic, and satisfies $(T,T^2,\dotsc,T^k)$ is disjoint hypercyclic for any $k\geq 2$. We also study the typical dynamical properties for the concrete family $\mathcal{M}=\{I+B_w\in \mathcal{L}(X)\colon w\in c_0(\mathbb{Z})\}$, endowed with the norm topology, where $B_w$ is a bilateral weighted backward shift.

A bi-Lipschitz characterization of strong minimum-attainment for Lipschitz maps

We completely characterize the denseness of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions, a minimum analogue for strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functions, in terms of bi-Lipschitz embeddings. More precisely, our main result shows that the set of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions defined on a complete metric space $M$ fails the denseness if and only if $M$ is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to a subset of $\mathbb{R}$ with positive Lebesgue measure, or equivalently, if $M$ admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into $\mathbb{R}$ and $M$ has positive 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure. As a consequence, we provide an isometric characterization of the pure 1-unrectifiability of $M$ in terms of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz maps defined on bi-Lipschitz copies of closed subsets of $M$. Several counterexamples showing that the main result cannot be naturally extended to the vector-valued setting are also presented.

On weak dominance of t-conorms over t-norms

The weak dominance of aggregation operators, particularly between triangular norms (t-norms) and triangular conorms (t-conorms), has attracted considerable attention in aggregation operator theory. While several characterizations have been obtained for Archimedean and continuous cases, a general criterion for continuous t-conorms over continuous t-norms remains to be fully clarified. In this paper, we provide a complete characterization of a continuous t-conorm weakly dominating a continuous t-norm. We first reduce the problem for ordinal sum operators to that for their single Archimedean components, and then express the weak dominance condition entirely in terms of the additive generators of these components. Our approach covers both strict and nilpotent cases uniformly, and recovers the known results for Archimedean operators as a special case.
