Abstract

Different versions of Wiener's Tauberian theorem are discussed for the generalized group algebra L1(G,A) (of integrable functions on a locally compact abelian group G taking values in a commutative semisimple regular Banach algebra A) using A-valued Fourier transforms. A weak form of Wiener's Tauberian property is introduced and it is proved that L1(G,A) is weakly Tauberian if and only if A is. The vector analogue of Wiener's L2-span of translates theorem is examined.
