Pullback of bounded uniformly continuous functions along continuous homomorphisms #
For a continuous homomorphism φ : G →ₜ* H of topological groups, precomposition f ↦ f ∘ φ maps
TauCeti.UCB H to TauCeti.UCB G: if f (u * y) is uniformly close to f y for all u near
1 in H, then f (φ u * φ x) is uniformly close to f (φ x) for all u near 1 in G, by
continuity of φ at 1. This file bundles the pullback as a unital algebra homomorphism
TauCeti.UCB.compRightAlgHom φ : UCB H →ₐ[ℝ] UCB G,
which preserves the pointwise order, does not increase the supremum norm and intertwines the left
translation L_(φ g) of UCB H with the left translation L_g of UCB G. It is an isometry
when φ is surjective. Dually, a mean on UCB G pushes forward to a mean on UCB H, which is how
amenability is transported along surjective continuous homomorphisms.
