Weakly almost periodic and uniformly continuous functionals on the Orlicz Figà-Talamanca Herz algebras (Q2024022)

Let \(G\) be a locally compact group with a left Haar measure \(dx\), let \(\Phi\) and \(\Psi\) be a pair of complementary Young functions satisfying the \(\Delta_2\) condition, {i.e.,} that there exists a constant \(K>0\) and \(x_0>0\) such that \(\Phi(2x)\leq K\Phi(x)\) whenever \(x\geq x_0\) if \(G\) is compact and the same inequality holds with \(x_0=0\) if \(G\) is non compact. Define \[L^{\Phi}(G):=\bigg\{f:G\rightarrow \mathbb{C}\quad\text{is measurable and}\quad\displaystyle\int_{G}\Phi(\beta|f|)~dx<\infty \quad\text{for some}\quad \beta>0 \bigg\},\] \[N_{\Phi}(f):=\inf\bigg\{k>0: \displaystyle\int_{G}\Phi \Bigl(\frac{|f|}{k} \Bigr)\ dx\leq1\bigg\},\] \[\|f\|_\Phi:=\sup\bigg\{\displaystyle\int_{G}|fg|~dx : g\in L^{\Psi}(G), \displaystyle\int_{G}\Psi(|g|)~dx\leq1\bigg\}, \] \[A_\Phi(G):=\bigg\{u=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}f_n\ast\check{g}_n : \{f_n\}\subset L^{\Phi}(G),\ \{g_n\}\subset L^{\Psi}(G) \quad\text{and}\quad \displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}N_{\Phi}(f_n)\|g_n\|_\Psi<\infty \bigg\}, \] \[\|u\|_{A_\Phi}:=\inf\bigg\{\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}N_{\Phi} (f_n)\|g_n\|_\Psi: u=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}f_n\ast\check{g}_n \bigg\}. \] The aim of this work is to study weakly almost periodic and uniformly continuous functionals on the Orlicz Figà-Talamanca-Herz algebras \((A_\Phi(G),\|.\|_{A_\Phi})\) associated to the locally compact group \(G\). To achieve this, the authors first introduce the notion of weakly almost periodic functionals of \(A_\Phi(G)\) and study its properties. Second, they show that a unique invariant mean exists on the space of weakly almost periodic functionals. Finally, the authors explore the notion of uniformly continuous functionals of \(A_\Phi(G)\) and show that they form an algebra.
