abstract: Periodicity of bounded solutions for convolution equations on a separable abelian metric group $G$ (which in general is not locally compact) is established and related Liouville type theorems are obtained. A non-constant Borel and bounded harmonic function is constructed for an arbitrary convolution semigroup on any infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, generalizing a classical result by V. Goodman. This is a joint work with J. Zabczyk.
