Through a unified approach we recover, and sometimes strengthen, many of the main known results concerning homomorphisms and isomorphisms between these (Beurling) group and measure algebras. We provide a first description of all positive homomorphisms $\\varphi: {\\cal L}^1(F) \\rightarrow {\\cal M}_r(G)$. We state versions of our results that describe a variety of (possibly unbounded) homomorphisms $\\varphi: \\mathbb{C} F \\rightarrow \\mathbb{C} G$ for (discrete) groups $F$ and $G$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-07-30T15:12:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "43A20", "43A10", "43A15", "43A22", "16S34" ], "keywords": [ "beurling algebras", "norm-multiplicative homomorphisms", "measure algebras", "locally compact groups", "results concerning homomorphisms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
