Beurling Spectra of Functions on Locally Compact Abelian Groups

Abstract: Let

G

be a locally compact abelian topological group. For locally bounded measurable functions

v a r p h i : G o B b b C

we discuss notions of spectra for

v a r p h i

relative to subalgebras of

L^{1} (G)

. In particular we study polynomials on

G

and determine their spectra. We also characterize the primary ideals of certain Beurling algebras

L_{w}^{1} (B b b Z)

on the group of integers

B b b Z

. This allows us to classify those elements of

L_{w}^{1} (G)

that have finite spectrum. If

v a r p h i

is a uniformly continuous function whose differences are bounded, there is a Beurling algebra naturally associated with

v a r p h i

. We give a condition on the spectrum of

v a r p h i

relative to this algebra which ensures that

v a r p h i

is bounded. Finally we give spectral conditions on a bounded function on

B b b R

that ensure that its indefinite integral is bounded.
