Abstract

Returning to a classical question in harmonic analysis, we strengthen an old result of Walter Rudin. We show that there exists a weakly almost periodic function on the group of integers ℤ which is not in the norm-closure of the algebra B(ℤ) of Fourier–Stieltjes transforms of measures on the dual group , and which is recurrent. We also show that there is a Polish monothetic group which is reflexively but not Hilbert representable.
