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.

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.

Character contractibility of Banach algebras and homological properties of Banach modules

Rasoul Nasr-Isfahani, Sima Soltani Renani (2011)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let 𝓐 be a Banach algebra and let ϕ be a nonzero character on 𝓐. We give some necessary and sufficient conditions for the left ϕ-contractibility of 𝓐 as well as several hereditary properties. We also study relations between homological properties of some Banach left 𝓐-modules, the left ϕ-contractibility and the right ϕ-amenability of 𝓐. Finally, we characterize the left character contractibility of various Banach algebras related to locally compact groups.

Solved and unsolved problems in generalized notions of amenability for Banach algebras

Yong Zhang (2010)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We survey the recent investigations on approximate amenability/contractibility and pseudo-amenability/contractibility for Banach algebras. We will discuss the core problems concerning these notions and address the significance of any solutions to them to the development of the field. A few new results are also included.

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...

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.

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...

Character inner amenability of certain Banach algebras

H. R. Ebrahimi Vishki, A. R. Khoddami (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Character inner amenability for a certain class of Banach algebras including projective tensor products, Lau products and module extensions is investigated. Some illuminating examples are given.

Homomorphisms of commutative Banach algebras and extensions to multiplier algebras with applications to Fourier algebras

E. Kaniuth, A. T. Lau, A. Ülger (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let A and B be semisimple commutative Banach algebras with bounded approximate identities. We investigate the problem of extending a homomorphism φ: A → B to a homomorphism of the multiplier algebras M(A) and M(B) of A and B, respectively. Various sufficient conditions in terms of B (or B and φ) are given that allow the construction of such extensions. We exhibit a number of classes of Banach algebras to which these criteria apply. In addition, we prove a polar decomposition for homomorphisms...
