More recently, two related statements have appeared in the literature: a question about periodic approximation raised by Levit and Vigdorovich in the context of approximate group theory and a periodic equidistribution conjecture formulated by Lindenstrauss. The purpose of this article is to provide equivalent formulations for these three statements in a complex-analytic setting and an operator-algebraic setting, giving nine conjectures grouped into three triples. The complex-analytic conjectures involve so-called Carathéodory functions on the unit disk that satisfy a certain functional identity, and we find that Furstenberg’s conjecture is equivalent to the assertion that every such function is a convex combination of rational functions. The operator-algebraic conjectures involve tracial states on the full group <span>(C^*)</span>-algebra of a certain semidirect product, which is related to Baumslag–Solitar groups.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48858,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Functional Analysis","volume":"17 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147738100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
