Abstract:
The results of the paper are obtained for functions from homogeneous spaces of functions defined on a locally compact Abelian group. The notion of the Beurling spectrum, or essential spectrum, of functions is introduced. If a continuous unitary character is an essential point of the spectrum of a function, then it is the $\mathrm{c}$-limit of a linear combination of shifts of the function in question. The notion of a slowly varying function at infinity is introduced, and the properties of such functions are considered. For a parabolic equation with initial function from a homogeneous space, it is proved that the weak solution as a function of the first argument is a slowly varying function at infinity.
