Amenability and fixed point properties of semi-topological semigroups of non-expansive mappings in Banach spaces
DownloadFall 2016
In this thesis we are interested in fixed point properties of representations of semi-topological semigroups of non-expansive mappings on weak and weak* compact convex sets in Banach or dual spaces. More particularly, we study the following problems : Problem 1 : Let F be any commuting family of...

A discrete flow (S,X) is a semigroup S acting on a set X where both S, and X are equipped with the discrete topology. Amenability of semigroups is a topic that explores the existence of measures that are invariant under the semigroup multiplication. The goal of this thesis is to generalize these...

In this thesis, we establish some ergodic theorems related to Ap(G), the Figà-Talamanca-Herz algebra of a locally compact group G. This thesis is divided in two main portions. The first part is primarily concerned with the study of ergodic sequences in Ap(G) and with a newly introduced notion of...

Let H be a hypergroup with left Haar measure. The amenability of H can be characterized by the existence of nets of positive, norm one functions in L^1(H) which tend to left invariance in any of several ways. In this thesis we present a characterization of the amenability of H using...
