The Principal Ideal Theorem in Spectral Synthesis

Abstract

In an earlier paper we solved a long-standing problem which goes back to Laurent Schwartz's work on mean-periodic functions. Namely, we completely characterised those locally compact Abelian groups having spectral synthesis. The method is based on the localisation concept. In this paper we show that localisation can be used to prove another basic result in spectral synthesis: the principal ideal theorem.
