Weak mixing and unitary representation problem

From MaRDI portal





Let \(X\) be a Banach space and \(T:G\to B(x)\) a bounded operator representation of a locally compact, \(\sigma\)-compact metric group \(G\) (with right invariant measure \(m)\). \(T\) is called continuous (weakly continuous) if the mapping \(t\mapsto T(t)x\) is continuous (weakly continuous) for every \(x\in X\). For any probability measure \(\mu\) on \(G\) the \(\mu\)-average \(x \mapsto U_\mu(x): =\int T(t)x\mu (dt)\) is defined in the strong operator topology. The author extends the solution of the weak mixing problem achieved in a previous paper to \(\mathbb{N}\)-groups and to extensions of compact groups by nilpotent groups. For such groups \(G\) and probability measures \(\mu\) on \(G\) it is shown (Theorem 1.1) that ergodicity and strict aperiodicity of \(\mu\) imply that \(U^n_\mu\) is strongly convergent as \(n\to\infty\). Obviously the weak mixing problem is related to the unitary representation problem, also taken up in the paper mentioned above.
