Gamma-bounded representations of amenable groups

الأصل · EN

Let G be an amenable group, let X be a Banach space and let π: G --> B(X) be a bounded representation. We show that if the set π(t): t ∈ G is gamma-bounded then πextends to a bounded homomorphism w: C*(G) --> B(X) on the group C*-algebra of G. Moreover w is necessarily gamma-bounded. This extends to the Banach space setting a theorem of Day and Dixmier saying that any bounded representation of an amenable group on Hilbert space is unitarizable. We obtain additional results and complements when G is equal to either the real numbers, the integers or the unit circle, and/or when X has property (α).
