Factorization in weighted Wiener matrix algebras on linearly ordered Abelian groups (Q2455077)

The authors study factorizations of Wiener-Hopf type of elements of weighted Wiener algebras of continuous matrix-valued functions on a compact Abelian group. Sections 2 and 3 are devoted to Wiener algebras of scalar functions, without and with weights, and contain a full characterization of Wiener-Hopf factorizations. In Section 4, the matrix analog is discussed, in particular, the uniqueness of factorization indices, hereditary properties of factors with respect to subalgebras and connectedness. In Section 5, canonical factorability is related to the unique solvability of certain Toeplitz equations. In Section 6, the paper is concluded with a discussion of Wiener-Hopf equivalence.
