Stereotype algebra

In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, stereotype algebras are topological algebras defined as stereotype spaces with a (unital and associative) multiplication satisfying the condition of separate uniform continuity on compact sets.

Definition

There are two equivalent ways to define stereotype algebra.

A morphism of stereotype algebras and is a continuous unital[9] homomorphism .

Stereotype algebras form a subclass in the class of separately continuous topological algebras.

Examples

1. All Fréchet algebras are stereotype. In particular, all Banach algebras are stereotype.[10]
2. For each stereotype space the stereotype space of operators , , is a stereotype algebra with respect to the operation of composition.[10]
3. The main examples of functional algebras[10] in Analysis and Geometry are stereotype algebras:
4. Stereotype group algebras. In the case when the space in the previous examples has a structure of a topological group, the dual stereotype spaces to the functional algebras on are stereotype algebras with respect to the operation of convolution:[10]
In contrast to the other models of group algebras in functional analysis, the stereotype group algebras possess the universal property[13][14] and the structure of Hopf algebra[15].

Stereotype modules

A stereotype space is called a left stereotype module over a stereotype algebra , if a bilinear operation is defined that turns into a left module over , and this operation is a continuous bilinear map in the stereotype sense: for each compact set and for each neighbourhood of zero there is a neighbourhood of zero such that

and at the same time for each compact set and for each neighbourhood of zero there is a neighbourhood of zero such that

The notion of a right stereotype module over a stereotype algebra is defined by analogy.

The theory of stereotype algebras allows to simplify the formulations in the theory of topological algebras and to bring this field closer to abstract algebra. The following two results (which do not hold for general jointly or separately continuous algebras) are typical illustrations.[16]

Theorem.[17] A stereotype space with a structure of left (right) module over a stereotype algebra is a stereotype module over if and only if the operation of multiplication (respectively, ) defines a continuous map (a representation) .[18]

Theorem.[19] For each stereotype algebra the categories Ste and Ste of left and right stereotype modules over are enriched categories over the monoidal category (Ste, , ) of stereotype spaces.

Applications

The notion of stereotype algebra is used in the generalizations[20] of the Pontryagin duality theory to the classes of non-commutative groups based on the notion of envelope: the holomorphic, the smooth and the continuous envelopes of stereotype algebras lead respectively to the constructions of the holomorphic, the smooth and the continuous dualities in big geometric disciplinescomplex geometry, differential geometry, and topology – for certain classes of (not necessarily commutative) topological groups considered in these disciplines (affine algebraic groups, and some classes of Lie groups and Moore groups).[21][22][20][23]

Notes

  1. There is another notion, an injective stereotype algebra, which is defined as a monoid in the monoidal category (Ste, , ) of stereotype spaces with the dual tensor product, . The class of these algebras is much narrower.

  8. The requirement on in the analytic definition of stereotype algebra can be equivalently expressed as follows: for each compact set and for each net tending to zero in , the nets and tend to zero in uniformly on :
  9. A homomorphism is said to be unital if it preserves unit: .

  11. If is an infinite locally compact group then the algebra of measures on is not a Fréchet algebra. In the case when is compact, is a Smith space. If is -compact, then is a Brauner space.
  12. A Stein group is a complex Lie group which is a Stein manifold.
  13. I.e. the homomorphisms of stereotype algebras are in one-to-one correspondence with the continuous representations of the group , and the same is true for the algebras , and with the smooth, holomorphic and polynomial representations of the corresponding groups.
