30.5 $\ell^{1}(\integer)$

Definition 30.5.1 ($\ell^{1}(\integer)$).label Let $\ell^{1}(\integer)$ be the $\ell^{1}$ sequence space on $\integer$. For each $f, g \in \ell^{1}(\integer)$, let

\[(f * g)(n) = \sum_{k \in \integer}f(k)g(n - k)\]

then:

  1. (1)

    $\ell^{1}(\integer)$ is a commutative Banach algebra.

  2. (2)

    The multiplicative unit of $\ell^{1}(\integer)$ is $\delta_{0} = \one_{\bracs{n = 0}}$.

The space $\ell^{1}(\integer)$ is the convolution algebra on $\integer$.

Proof. For each $f, g \in \ell^{1}(\integer)$, by Fubini’s Theorem,

\begin{align*}\normn{f * g}_{\ell^1(\integer)}&= \sum_{n \in \integer}\abs{\sum_{k \in \integer}f(k)g(n - k)}\\&\le \sum_{n, k \in \integer}|f(k)| \cdot |g(n-k)| \le \sum_{k \in \integer}|f(k)| \cdot \sum_{n \in \integer}|g(n - k)| \\&= \norm{f}_{\ell^1(\integer)}\cdot \norm{g}_{\ell^1(\integer)}\end{align*}

$\square$

Proposition 30.5.2.label The Gelfand transform of $\ell^{1}(\integer)$ is not isometric.

Proof. Let $f = \one_{\bracs{n = 1}}- \one_{\bracs{2 \le n \le 3}}$, then

\[f^{2}(n) = \begin{cases}-1 &n \in \bracs{1, 5} \\ -2 &n = 2 \\ -1 &n = 3 \\ 2 &n = 4 \\ 0 &n \not\in [1, 5]\end{cases}\]

so $\normn{f^2}_{\ell^1(\integer)}= 7 < \normn{f}_{\ell^1(\integer)}^{2}$. By Proposition 29.8.3, the Gelfand transform is not isometric.$\square$

Theorem 30.5.3.label Let $\ell^{1}(\integer)$ be the convolution algebra on $\integer$, then the mapping

\[F: \mathbf{S}^{1} = \partial B_{\complex}(0, 1) \to \Omega(\ell^{1}(\integer)) \quad (F(z))(f) = \sum_{n \in \integer}f(n)z^{n}\]

is a homeomorphism. Under the identification $\partial B_{\complex}(0, 1) = \Omega(\ell^{1}(\integer))$, the Gelfand transform has the explicit form

\[\Gamma(f)(z) = \sum_{n \in \integer}f(n)z^{n}\]

Proof, [Theorem 6.3, Zhu93]. Let $z \in \mathbf{S}^{1}$ and $f, g \in \ell^{1}(\integer)$, then by Fubini’s Theorem,

\begin{align*}F(z)(f * g)&= \sum_{n \in \integer}z^{n} \sum_{k \in \integer}f(k)g(n-k) \\&= \sum_{k \in \natp}f(k)z^{k} \sum_{n \in \integer}z^{n-k}g(n-k) \\&= F(z)(f) \cdot F(z)(g)\end{align*}

so $F(z)$ is a multiplicative functional for all $z \in \mathbf{S}^{1}$.

For each $n \in \integer$, let $\delta_{n} = \one_{\bracs{k = n}}$, then for any $m, n \in \integer$, $\delta_{m} * \delta_{n} = \delta_{m + n}$. Let $\phi \in \Omega(\ell^{1}(\integer))$ and $z = \phi(\delta_{1})$, then $\phi(\delta_{n}) = z^{n}$ for all $n \in \integer$. Since the span of $\bracsn{\delta_n|n \in \integer}$ is dense in $\ell^{1}(\integer)$, $\phi = F(z)$ by the Dominated Convergence Theorem.

Finally, by the Dominated Convergence Theorem, $F: \textbf{S}^{1} \to \Omega(\ell^{1}(\integer))$ is continuous. Since $\textbf{S}^{1}$ is compact, $\Omega(\ell^{1}(\integer))$ is Hausdorff, and $F$ is a bijection, $F$ is a homeomorphism by Proposition 5.16.4.$\square$

Proposition 30.5.4.label Let $\ell^{1}(\integer)$ be the convolution algebra on $\integer$ and $f \in \ell^{1}(\integer)$, then

\[\sigma(f) = \bracs{\sum_{n \in \integer}f(n)z^n \bigg | z \in \partial B_\complex(0, 1)}\]

Proof. By Theorem 30.5.3 and (4) of Proposition 29.8.2.$\square$
