Completely bounded lacunary sets for compact non-abelian groups (Q2787149)

\textit{A. Harcharras} [Stud. Math. 137, No. 3, 203--260 (1999; Zbl 0948.43002)] introduced the notion of completely bounded \(\Lambda_p\)-sets (\(p > 2\)) in compact Abelian groups, using the notion of completely bounded map, and extended to these sets properties of usual \(\Lambda (p)\)-sets; in particular, every Sidon set in \({\mathbb Z}\) is \(\Lambda^{\text{cb}}_p\) for every \(p > 2\). She also showed that there exist \(\Lambda_{2s}^{\text{cb}}\)-sets (\(s \geq 2\) integer) which are not \(\Lambda (q)\) for any \(q > 2s\).NEWLINENEWLINEIn this paper the authors give a definition of \(\Lambda^{\text{cb}}_p\)-sets (\(p > 2\)) in general compact groups and give a characterization in terms of completely bounded multipliers. They prove that every Sidon set is \(\Lambda^{\text{cb}}_p\) for every \(p > 2\). Moreover, they give an example of a compact group and of a subset of its dual which is \(\Lambda (p)\) for all \(p > 1\), but not \(\Lambda^{\text{cb}}_q\) for any \(q \geq 4\).
