# Density of translates in weighted $L^p$ spaces on locally compact groups

## TL;DR

This paper characterizes when translation actions are hypercyclic on weighted $L^p$ spaces over locally compact groups, extending Salas's criterion from integers to general groups and subsets.

## Contribution

It provides a general criterion for hypercyclicity of translation actions on weighted $L^p$ spaces for any locally compact group, broadening previous results.

## Key findings

- Extended Salas's hypercyclicity criterion to general locally compact groups.
- Established conditions on weights for translation actions to be hypercyclic.
- Analyzed hypercyclicity for translations by subsets of the group.

## Abstract

Let $G$ be a locally compact group, and let $1\le p < \infty$. Consider the weighted $L^p$-space $L^p(G,\omega)=\{f:\int|f\omega|^p<\infty\}$, where $\omega:G\to \mathbb R$ is a positive measurable function. Under appropriate conditions on $\omega$, $G$ acts on $L^p(G,\omega)$ by translations. When is this action hypercyclic, that is, there is a function in this space such that the set of all its translations is dense in $L^p(G,\omega)$? H. Salas (1995) gave a criterion of hypercyclicity in the case $G=\mathbb Z$ . Under mild assumptions, we present a corresponding characterization for a general locally compact group $G$. Our results are obtained in a more general setting when the translations only by a subset $S\subset G$ are considered.
