Density and representation theorems for multipliers of type (p, q)

Abstract

Let G be a locally compact Abelian Hausdorff group (abbreviated LCA group); let X be its character group and dx, dx be the elements of the normalised Haar measures on G and X respectively. If 1 < p, q < ∞, and Lp(G) and Lq(G) are the usual Lebesgue spaces, of index p and q respectively, with respect to dx, a multiplier of type (p, q) is defined as a bounded linear operator T from Lp(G) to Lq(G) which commutes with translations, i.e. τxT = Tτx for all x ∈ G, where τxf(y) = f(x+y). The space of multipliers of type (p, q) will be denoted by Lqp. Already, much attention has been devoted to this important class of operators (see, for example, [3], [4], [7]).
