Abstract
There are various Banach algebras of functions on a locally compact group G, made up of matrix coefficients of representations, such as the Fourier algebra A(G) and the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra B(G), which reflect the representation theory of the group. The question of whether these determine the group has been considered by many authors. Here we show that when 1 < p < ∞, the Figà-Talamanca-Herz algebras A p (G) determine the group G, at least if G is a connected Lie group.
