A characterization of discrete groups
For a regular semisimple commutative Banach algebra \({\mathcal A}\) with \(\Delta({\mathcal A})\) as the structure space of \({\mathcal A}\), \(\widehat x\), for \(x\in{\mathcal A}\), as the Gel'fand transform of \(x\), and \(S({\mathcal A})= \{a\in{\mathcal A}:\| ax\|\leq c\|\widehat x\|_\infty\) for some \(c> 0\) and all \(x\in{\mathcal A}\}\), the author proves that if \(\Delta({\mathcal A})\) has an isolated point, then \(S({\mathcal A})\neq \{0\}\); a conditional converse is also proved. As a corollary to this theorem the author finally proves that for a locally compact group \(G\) and \({\mathcal A}(G)\) the Fourier algebra of \(G\), \(G\) is a discrete group iff \(S(G)\neq\{0\}\).
