Compactness and weak-star continuity of derivations on weighted convolution algebras

Abstract: Let

o m e g a

be a continuous weight on

m a t h b b R^{+}

and let

L^{1} (o m e g a)

be the corresponding convolution algebra. By results of Gr{o}nb{ae}k and Bade & Dales the continuous derivations from

L^{1} (o m e g a)

to its dual space

L^{i n f t y} (1 / o m e g a)

are exactly the maps of the form

(D_{phi}f)(t)=int_0^{infty}f(s),frac{s}{t+s},phi(t+s),dsqquad ext{(

t i n m a t h b b R^{+}

and

f i n L^{1} (o m e g a)

)}

for some

p h i i n L^{i n f t y} (1 / o m e g a)

. Also, every

D_{p h i}

has a unique extension to a continuous derivation

from the corresponding measure algebra. We show that a certain condition on

p h i

implies that

is weak-star continuous. The condition holds for instance if

p h i i n L_{0}^{i n f t y} (1 / o m e g a)

. We also provide examples of functions

p h i

for which

is not weak-star continuous. Similarly, we show that

D_{p h i}

and

are compact under certain conditions on

p h i

. For instance this holds if

p h i i n C_{0} (1 / o m e g a)

with

p h i (0) = 0

. Finally, we give various examples of functions

p h i

for which

D_{p h i}

and

are not compact.
