Amenability for dual Banach algebras

V. Runde (2001)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We define a Banach algebra 𝔄 to be dual if 𝔄 = (𝔄⁎)* for a closed submodule 𝔄⁎ of 𝔄*. The class of dual Banach algebras includes all W*-algebras, but also all algebras M(G) for locally compact groups G, all algebras ℒ(E) for reflexive Banach spaces E, as well as all biduals of Arens regular Banach algebras. The general impression is that amenable, dual Banach algebras are rather the exception than the rule. We confirm this impression. We first show that under certain conditions...

On φ-inner amenable Banach algebras

A. Jabbari, T. Mehdi Abad, M. Zaman Abadi (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Generalizing the concept of inner amenability for Lau algebras, we define and study the notion of φ-inner amenability of any Banach algebra A, where φ is a homomorphism from A onto ℂ. Several characterizations of φ-inner amenable Banach algebras are given.

Character pseudo-amenability of Banach algebras

Rasoul Nasr-Isfahani, Mehdi Nemati (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let 𝓐 be a Banach algebra and let ϕ be a nonzero character on 𝓐. We introduce and study a new notion of amenability for 𝓐 based on existence of a ϕ-approximate diagonal by modifying the concepts of ϕ-amenability and pseudo-amenability. We then apply these results to characterize ϕ-pseudo-amenability of various Banach algebras related to locally compact groups such as group algebras, measure algebras, certain dual algebras and Lebesgue-Fourier algebras.

Dual Banach algebras: representations and injectivity

Matthew Daws (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study representations of Banach algebras on reflexive Banach spaces. Algebras which admit such representations which are bounded below seem to be a good generalisation of Arens regular Banach algebras; this class includes dual Banach algebras as defined by Runde, but also all group algebras, and all discrete (weakly cancellative) semigroup algebras. Such algebras also behave in a similar way to C*- and W*-algebras; we show that interpolation space techniques can be used in place of...

Approximate identities in Banach function algebras

H. G. Dales, A. Ülger (2015)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper, we shall study contractive and pointwise contractive Banach function algebras, in which each maximal modular ideal has a contractive or pointwise contractive approximate identity, respectively, and we shall seek to characterize these algebras. We shall give many examples, including uniform algebras, that distinguish between contractive and pointwise contractive Banach function algebras. We shall describe a contractive Banach function algebra which is not equivalent to...

Some homological properties of Banach algebras associated with locally compact groups

Mehdi Nemati (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate some homological notions of Banach algebras. In particular, for a locally compact group G we characterize the most important properties of G in terms of some homological properties of certain Banach algebras related to this group. Finally, we use these results to study generalized biflatness and biprojectivity of certain products of Segal algebras on G.

On character amenable Banach algebras

Z. Hu, M. Sangani Monfared, T. Traynor (2009)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We obtain characterizations of left character amenable Banach algebras in terms of the existence of left ϕ-approximate diagonals and left ϕ-virtual diagonals. We introduce the left character amenability constant and find this constant for some Banach algebras. For all locally compact groups G, we show that the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra B(G) is C-character amenable with C < 2 if and only if G is compact. We prove that if A is a character amenable, reflexive, commutative Banach algebra,...

Weak amenability of the second dual of a Banach algebra

M. Eshaghi Gordji, M. Filali (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

It is known that a Banach algebra inherits amenability from its second Banach dual **. No example is yet known whether this fails if one considers the weak amenability instead, but the property is known to hold for the group algebra L¹(G), the Fourier algebra A(G) when G is amenable, the Banach algebras which are left ideals in **, the dual Banach algebras, and the Banach algebras which are Arens regular and have every derivation from into * weakly compact. In this paper, we extend this...

An extremal problem in Banach algebras

Anders Olofsson (2001)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study asymptotics of a class of extremal problems rₙ(A,ε) related to norm controlled inversion in Banach algebras. In a general setting we prove estimates that can be considered as quantitative refinements of a theorem of Jan-Erik Björk [1]. In the last section we specialize further and consider a class of analytic Beurling algebras. In particular, a question raised by Jan-Erik Björk in [1] is answered in the negative.

Non-normal elements in Banach *-algebras

B. Yood (2004)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let A be a Banach *-algebra with an identity, continuous involution, center Z and set of self-adjoint elements Σ. Let h ∈ Σ. The set of v ∈ Σ such that (h + iv)ⁿ is normal for no positive integer n is dense in Σ if and only if h ∉ Z. The case where A has no identity is also treated.

Commutators in Banach *-algebras

Bertram Yood (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

The set of commutators in a Banach *-algebra A, with continuous involution, is examined. Applications are made to the case where A = B(ℓ₂), the algebra of all bounded linear operators on ℓ₂.

Vector space isomorphisms of non-unital reduced Banach *-algebras

Rachid ElHarti, Mohamed Mabrouk (2015)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

Let A and B be two non-unital reduced Banach *-algebras and φ: A → B be a vector space isomorphism. The two following statement holds: If φ is a *-isomorphism, then φ is isometric (with respect to the C*-norms), bipositive and φ maps some approximate identity of A onto an approximate identity of B. Conversely, any two of the later three properties imply that φ is a *-isomorphism. Finally, we show that a unital and self-adjoint spectral isometry between semi-simple Hermitian Banach algebras...

Perturbed linear rough differential equations

Laure Coutin, Antoine Lejay (2014)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

Similarity:

We study linear rough differential equations and we solve perturbed linear rough differential equations using the Duhamel principle. These results provide us with a key technical point to study the regularity of the differential of the Itô map in a subsequent article. Also, the notion of linear rough differential equations leads to consider multiplicative functionals with values in Banach algebras more general than tensor algebras and to consider extensions of classical results such...

Banach's school and topological algebras

Wiesław Żelazko (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We present here some evidence of the activity of Banach Lwów School of functional analysis in the field of topological algebras. We shall list several results connected with such names as Stanisław Mazur (1905-1981), Maks (Meier) Eidelheit (1910-1943), Stefan Banach (1892-1945) and Andrzej Turowicz (1904-1989) showing that if the war had not interrupted this activity we could expect more interesting results in this direction.

On the weak amenability of ℬ(X)

A. Blanco (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We investigate the weak amenability of the Banach algebra ℬ(X) of all bounded linear operators on a Banach space X. Sufficient conditions are given for weak amenability of this and other Banach operator algebras with bounded one-sided approximate identities.

Normed "upper interval" algebras without nontrivial closed subalgebras

C. J. Read (2005)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

It is a long standing open problem whether there is any infinite-dimensional commutative Banach algebra without nontrivial closed ideals. This is in some sense the Banach algebraists' counterpart to the invariant subspace problem for Banach spaces. We do not here solve this famous problem, but solve a related problem, that of finding (necessarily commutative) infinite-dimensional normed algebras which do not even have nontrivial closed subalgebras. Our examples are incomplete normed...

A properly infinite Banach *-algebra with a non-zero, bounded trace

H. G. Dales, Niels Jakob Laustsen, Charles J. Read (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

A properly infinite C*-algebra has no non-zero traces. We construct properly infinite Banach *-algebras with non-zero, bounded traces, and show that there are even such algebras which are fairly "close" to the class of C*-algebras, in the sense that they can be hermitian or *-semisimple.

Connes amenability-like properties

Amin Mahmoodi (2014)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We introduce and study the notions of w*-approximate Connes amenability and pseudo-Connes amenability for dual Banach algebras. We prove that the dual Banach sequence algebra ℓ¹ is not w*-approximately Connes amenable. We show that in general the concepts of pseudo-Connes amenability and Connes amenability are distinct. Moreover the relations between these new notions are also discussed.
