Compact groups are considered the most tractable class of examples in non-commutative harmonic analysis. For example, there is a nice representation theory of compact groups which is a natural generalization of the character theory of finite groups. In this series of seminars we will see applications of this theory to algebras defined over the compact groups, such as the (convolution) group algebra, Fourier, and Beurling-Fourier algebras, and their central subalgebras. We hope to eventually attack some long-standing conjectures regarding amenability of central group and Fourier algebras.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
