Multipliers and Lacunary Sets in Non-Amenable Groups

Abstract: Let

G

be a discrete group. Let

l a m b d a : G o B (e l l_{2} (G), e l l_{2} (G))

be the left regular representation. A function

p h : G o c o m p

is called a completely bounded multiplier (= Herz-Schur multiplier) if the transformation defined on the linear span

K (G)

of

l a m b d a (x), x i n G

by

sum_{x in G} f(x) lambda(x) o sum_{x in G} f(x) ph(x) lambda(x)

is completely bounded (in short c.b.) on the

C^{*}

-algebra

C_{l} a m b d a^{*} (G)

which is generated by

l a m b d a

(

C_{l} a m b d a^{*} (G)

is the closure of

K (G)

in

B (e l l_{2} (G), e l l_{2} (G))

.) One of our main results gives a simple characterization of the functions

p h

such that

e p s p h

is a c.b. multiplier on

C_{l} a m b d a^{*} (G)

for any bounded function

e p s

, or equivalently for any choice of signs

e p s (x) = p m 1

. We also consider the case when this holds for ``almost all" choices of signs.
