1 Pacific Journal of Mathematics ON THE SPECTRAL RADIUS OF HERMITIAN ELEMENTS IN GROUP ALGEBRAS ANDRZEJ HULANICKI Vol. 18, No. 2 April 1966
2 PACIFIC JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS Vol. 18, No. 2, 1966 ON THE SPECTRAL RADIUS OF HERMITIAN ELEMENTS IN GROUP ALGEBRAS A. HULANICKI Let G be a discrete group and 21 the Zα algebra over the field of complex numbers of G. The aim of the paper is to consider some combinatorial conditions on the group G which imply symmetry of the algebra SI. One result is as follows: If a group F contains a subgroup G of finite index such that any element of G has finitely many conjugates, then the group algebra % of F is symmetric. A Banach *-algebra 2ί is said to be symmetric if for every element X e 2Ϊ the spectrum of the element x*x is real and nonnegative. If the algebra 1 contains the unit element, this can be equivalents stated as For every linear functional F on 2t (1) F(y + yx*x) 0 for every y e SI implies F = 0. It is well known and easy to prove that the group algebra of a finite or Abelian locally compact group is symmetric. If a discrete group is neither finite nor Abelian, all that is known about symmetry of its group algebra seems to be due to Bonic [2]. Bonic proved the following facts: (i) The group algebra "of the direct product of two groups one of which is Abelian, the other of which has a symmetric group algebra is symmetric. (ii) The group algebra of a splitting extension of an Abelian group by the cyclic group of two elements is symmetric. (iii) The group algebra of a free nonabelian group is not symmetric. (i) and (ii) together with the fact that the group algebras of finite and Abelian groups are symmetric establishes the scope of groups about which, using Bonic's results, one may assert symmetry. As a matter of fact, it is not more than the direct products of finitely many finite, Abelian and dihedral-type groups. The method applied by Bonic is based on (1), which in the case of group algebra of a discrete group is equivalent to the implication ( 2 ) If / is bounded and f(t) + Σ a?*α?(s"- 1 ί)jγ(s) = 0, then / = 0. see 277
3 278 A. HULANICKI It is not surprising that, if some of the elements of the group appear as complicated expressions of the generators, then to prove or disprove (2) may become difficult. We propose another approach to this circle of problems. Our starting point is a theorem of Raikov, cf. [9], [10], Denote by v(x) the spectral radius of an element x in a Banach *-algebra 21, that is, let v(x) = \im\\x n \\ lln. For any *-representation x > T x of 21 we have cf. e.g. [11]. Raikov's theorem says: A Banach *-algebra 21 is symmetric if, and only if, (3) v(ίc*a?) = sup Γ, β where the least upper bound on the right hand side is taken over all *-representations of 21. Now let 31 be a group algebra 21 = 2ί(G) of a discrete group G with the usual norm, multiplication, and involution II & II 2-ι I *H*V I i <»*y\o) 2~ι s G teθ respectively. Consider the left regular representation T of 2ί(G) x T x, where the Hubert space of T is L 2 (G) equipped with norm Denote II&II2=(ΣI<Φ)I 2 ) 1/2 and T x f=x*f,fel 2 (G). sβg It may happen (cf. [7]) that the left regular representation weakly contains (cf. [3]) all *-representation of 2ί(G), which is to say that X(x^*x) ^ T' x^x for any *-representation T of 2ί(G). Then (3) turns into the equality (4) \{x~ * x) = v{x~ * x). Our aim is to find sufficient conditions on a group G which imply (4) for any element x of its group algebra 2I(G), and consequently the symmetry of 2I(G). We formulate the conditions in the forthcoming 1 and we devote 2 to the proof that, in fact, they imply (4). Finally, in 3, we discuss the classes of groups for which our conditions are satisfied.
4 ON THE SPECTRAL RADIUS OF HERMITIAN ELEMENTS 279 The author is most indebted to Professor B. H. Neumann for a conversation about these classes of groups as well as to Dr. Neil W. Rickert who suggested several corrections and simplifications. 1* Let G be a discrete group, ί = ί(g) its group algebra. For any function x on G we denote by N(x) the support of the function x, i.e., N(x) = {s: x(s) Φ 0}. Let A u, A n be a family of subset of G. By A 1 A n we denote the set of all products α x α Λ, where a { e A i9 i = 1,, n. We shall also use the abbreviated notation A n for A A. For a finite subset A of G we denote by \A\ the number of the elements of A. Clearly, ( 5 ) I A, A n\ S I Λ I I A n\. For any two nonnegative integers m ^ n we denote by t(m,n) sequence t(m, n) = <&,., t n y a of elements of G such that at most m of the t[s, i 1,,%, are different from the unity of G. We say that a group G satisfies condition (C) if (C) There exists a constant k such that for any finite set 4cG there exists a constant C C(A,c) such that for any sequence! At,At 2 - At n \ g Ck m c n for any c > 1. For m = 0 (or, which is the same, for bounded m) condition (C) turns into the following one: (A S) For any finite subset A of G I A* I = o(c n ) for any c > 1. This condition has been considered by G. M. AdeΓson-VePskiϊ and Yu. A. Sreider in [1]. They have proved that (A S) implies the existence of an invariant Banach mean value on G. Clearly, (A S) implies the F^lner conditions cf. [4]. 2. First we formulate two simple lemmas. LEMMA 1. If G is a (discrete) group, then for any x e SX(G)cL 2 (G), we have X(x) ^ \\x 2.
5 280 A. HULANICKI In fact, X(x) = sup \\x*y\\ 2 I l M i ^ where δ, the unit element of I(G), is the function which takes value 1 at the unity of G and zero elsewhere. LEMMA 2. If x u, x n e X(G), then (i) &!*... *<*.(*) = f ^Σ 6 G»i(«i) α («J^ίί 1 if 1 *) (ii) JNΓte* *x n ) S V(i) iv(o (iii) i\γ(^~) = (iv^))- 1 = {r 1 : t G N(x)}. The proof of (i) is obtained by an elementary induction. To verify (ii) we simply note that, by (i), sen(x^ *x n ) implies <ή-i *Γ 1 s= ί n e iv(^%) and ί 4 e Nfa), i = 1,, n. Therefore s = ^ t % e Nix,) N(x n ). From now on we shall frequently use the abbreviated notation x* n for x* *#. THEOREM 1. // α group G satisfies (A S), then for every x such that N(x) is finite equality (4) holds. Proof. Suppose N(x) is finite Φ<2. Let A = (N(x))~ x N(x). Then A is finite and, by Lemma 2 (ii)-(iii), N(x~*x) a A. We have Σi(r()i sea = Σ I (*~*χγ(s) I ^ I A 1/2 ( Σ I (r«γ(s) I 2 ) 1 ' 2 sξ-a n s A n Hence, by Lemma 1, since JΓ^^ is a hermitian operator, (^*at n ll ^ I A w 1/2 λ((r^h = I A n \ ιl2 {x{x~*x))* n. Consequently, v{x~ * a?) = lim 11 {x~ * a;)* % 11 1/% g lim sup \]A n \ ll2n X(x~ * a;). But, since G satisfies (A S) and A Φ 0, lim sup I A n \ 1{2n = 1, n >oo whence v(ar* ) ^ λ(x~*x), which completes the proof of Theorem 1.
6 ON THE SPECTRAL RADIUS OF HERMITIAN ELEMENTS 281 COROLLARY 1. If a group G satisfies condition (A S), then for any a?e3c(g) such that N(x) is finite 8p A{β) (x M *x) ^ 0. Proof. By a standard argument (cf. e.g. [9 pp ]) we reduce our task to proving that for each x e 3I((?) with finite support (δ + x~ * x)" 1 exists. Let Sί be the (commutative) algebra of hermitian elements generated (algebraically) by 3 and δ + x~*x = y Q. Then, by Lemma 2 (ii)-(iii), for any ye A, N(y) is finite, whence, since G satisfies an( (A S), by Theorem 1, v(y~*y) = Mv~*y) i, consequently, since IT = v, v(v) = Mv). Therefore the completion 21* and 2ί λ of 31 in the norms v and λ respectively, are equal. But 2I λ is isometrically isomorphic to a Banach *-algebra with the unity of hermitian operators, so y^1 exists in 2ϊ λ and, consequently, y^16 SI*. This show that in the Gelfand representation of SI 1111, the completion of 21 in the norm, we have y Q (M) Φ 0 for any maximal ideal M of SI"' 11, which, by Gelfand's theorem, proves that yj^est 11 * 11 c3l(g), as required. By virtue of Theorem 1, if G satisfies (A S), then equality (4) holds for a dense (in the norm ) set of hermitian elements x of 2I(G). Clearly the function λ is continuous on SI(G), so if we knew that v were continuous, equality (4) would be an immediate consequence of Theorem 1. However, it is known that, in general, for a noncommutative Banach *-algebra the function need not be continuous. The example of S. Kakutani, as presented in [11 p. 282], shows that v is not continuous on the algebra of the bounded operators of a Hubert space. In this case, however, v is continuous on hermitian elements. We do not know whether in the case of a nonsymmetric group algebra the function v is continuous on hermitian elements. THEOREM 2. If a group G satisfies condition (C), then equality (4) holds for all elements xe$ί(g). Proof. Suppose G satisfies (C) and let z e I(G). For any positive ε we write (6) z~*z y + x where N(x) A is finite and \\y\\ < ε. We are going to prove (7) i>(z~*z) k\\y\\+\(x), where k is the constant whose existence is postulated by condition (C). Since λ is continuous (with respect to the norm ), (7) implies
7 282 A. HULANICKI as desired. To prove (7) we write v(z~*z) ^ X(z~*z), (z~*zy n = (y + x)* n = V v/*>i*^* *2/*^* x v, TO = 0 <Γ,T where the summation extends over the set C(m, n) of all sequences σ = <J>i,» zθ and T = ζjq lf, q r y of nonnegative integers such that #i + + Pr = m* Qi + " + q r "= m n. Hence By Lemma 2 (i), we have cύ,β where the summation is all over the set of sequences Hence (9) ^ Σ i = 1,,m, ^ m,r,? 0 = 0,r,p o = 0»(&Γ 1 β 1 )ί»(s 2 ) x{s q )x{bϊ% 1+1 )%{s qi+2 ) x{s Ql+q ) x{b-\ ί+... +qr _ 1+1 )x{s qi+... +qr _ ι+2 ) x(s n _ m )δ(s n h - Σ I»(*i) I 11/(O I II»» 1 *a?* (βι " 1) * where a; 6.(s) = xφϊ 1 *), i = 1,, r. But, since JV(α?) = A, i = 1,, r. Hence, by Lemma 2(ii), = P. Therefore, by Lemma 1 and Schwarz inequality, (10) ^ ^ I P 1/2 1 ^ I PI 1 / 2 λί

This completes the proof of Theorem 2. 3* In this section we present some propositions which exhibit some of the classes of groups for which conditions (A S) and (C) are satisfied. First we establish some notations: Let G be a group and let a,beg. We write b-'ab = a\ ar^άb - [α, b], [[a u, α,_j, α w ] = [a ly, αj. If A, 5 are subsets of G, A*= {a?:aea,beb}. REMARK. If A is a subset of G, then for a u b u ",b n eg we have, a n e A G and «iδi aj> n = &i δ^αl <, where a[, ",<6i f f. (This follows immediately from the fact that ab ba h for any a,beg).
9 284 A. HULANICKI PROPOSITION 1. Let A be a finite subset of a group G such that A = A G. Then \A n \ ^n u ι. Proof. If α lf, a n e A, then (12) a 1 -- a n = ft? δϊ fc, 6i, -,&,. A and, moreover, ^ + + % ^ w and k ^ \A\. To prove (12) which is, in fact, a version of Dietzmann's Lemma (cf. [8 Vol. II, p. 154]), we suppose that k is minimal with respect to all representations of (&!- (& of the form (12). Suppose k > \A\. Then there exists at least two elements δ* and b j9 1 ^ i < j ^ k such that b i = b ό. Then where c = by, which is a contradiction, since b c e s Aσ = A. By (12), we have I A n I g (the number of the sequences w x,,%& with X % g n and fc ^ A ) ^ ^U1. i DEFINITION. A group G is called a FC-group if for any aeg the set {a} is finite, (cf. e.g. [8 Vol. II, pp. 154 and 269]). PROPOSITION 2. If G is a FC-group, then it satisfies (C) with constant k = 1. In fact, let A be a finite subset of G. Since G is FC-group, the set B A G is finite. Hence I ^Aί 2 A t n A I ^ I A^ ^A^"^ A*» for any c > 1. PROPOSITION 3. If F is a group which contains a subgroup G of finite index in F such that G is a FC-group, then F satisfies (C). Proof. We show first that if M it a finite subset of (?, then the set M F is finite. Let M o = Λf*. Since G is FC-group, Λf 0 is finite. Denote by ψ the function which selects one element ψ{f) out of each of the cosets Gf, fef, and let φ{g) = 1 the unit element of F. Let We have = H={h 1,--.,h k }. W = M x = U Mt r >.
10 ON THE SPECTRAL RADIUS OF HERMITIAN ELEMENTS 285 In fact, if s,fef, there exists a geg such that Hence φ(f)s = gφ(φ(f)s) = gφ(fs).

By virtue of what we have proved above, Q* = Q x is finite. We now prove that for any sequence u l9 *,u n with Uie {1,, &}, i 1,, n, we have (13) h %ι /^ 6 Q-ίfc QrH = HQl. Let /o = 1, /< = Λ βl h u., i l,"*,n f and let α< = ^(/<). Then But for any ΐ = 1,, n, a, = ^(/ 4 ) = φif^k.) ) ) Hence />- χ = aoh^iφiaok))- 1 a^h^iφia^kj)- 1 e Q n. and, consequently, which completes the proof of (13). Now let A be a finite subset of F. There exists a finite set JkfcG such that AczHM. Consider the finite set B = HM^. Clearly, AcB. For every two nonnegative integers m ^n, let ί(m, w) be as in Section 1. We have {14) \tβ ί^b I = I (B JB) S I(JB. J5) S 2... (J5... J3)*m + i y where <ί ly,*,> = ί(m, n), t yi,, ί im are the ίjβ different from the unity of F, for every i = 1,, m s { t ά. ί im and s m+1 = 1. Each element of the set on the right hand side of (14) is of the form / = (h 101 h ri g ri ) s ι (K m+1 g rm+1. K m+1 g rm+i y^,
11 286 A. HULANICKI where gι e M F, i 1,, n. Then / = (fc,. Λ ri ) i (K m+1 fc rm+1 )-«flrί.. di, where # e M F, i 1,, n. But, by (13), for any i 1,, m + 1 we have ^ i K. = /&&<, where fe e Γ and & e Q (r ί- r <-i>. Consequently, since Qf = Q u and so, since f=h[ ί K 8? 1 +%-- <&+ [ -g' H Therefore, since H s \ = iί for any seί 7, and \H\ k, \t,b > t n B\ ^ ίί s i... iϊ ~+i IQΠ I MΓ I ^ H \ m \ H\ n { whence, since ] H\ n miwm^ = o(c n ), Proposition 3 follows. COROLLARY 2. // a group G contains a FC-group as a subgroup of finite index, then equality (4) holds for any element x of the group algebra A(G) of G and, consequently, A(G) is symmetric. PROPOSITION 4. The direct product of finitely many groups which satisfy (C) satisfies (C). PROPOSITION 5. If G is a locally nilpotent group, then G satisfies (A-S). This follows from the fact that if A ~ {a u, a k ) is a finite subset of G, H is the subgroup generated by A, which, by assumption, is nilpotent of class, say, s, then any element of A n c H is of the form i Π d7 {i) rf K, αj^i ^ Π [a h,, α f J^i *'' where n(ί u,i J ) are nonnegative integers ^f ό (n),j l, *,s, and fi(n) is an integral valued polynomial. (The exact from of f ό {n) can be easily established by the use of the collecting process as described in [6] and [5] but it is irrelevant to us here.) Thus I A n I S (f(n)) kl (/. {nψ = o{c n ) for any c> 1. PROPOSITION 6. in general. Condition (C) is not satisfied by nilpotent groups,
