A characterization of groups with the one-sided Wiener property.
Let be a locally compact group. We continue our work [A. Ghaffari: -amenability of locally compact groups, Acta Math. Sinica, English Series, 26 (2010), 2313–2324] in the study of -amenability of a locally compact group defined with respect to a closed subgroup of . In this paper, among other things, we introduce and study a closed subspace of and then characterize the -amenability of using . Various necessary and sufficient conditions are found for a locally compact group to possess...
In the current work, a new notion of -weak amenability of Banach algebras using homomorphisms, namely --weak amenability is introduced. Among many other things, some relations between --weak amenability of a Banach algebra and , the Banach algebra of matrices with entries from , are studied. Also, the relation of this new concept of amenability of a Banach algebra and its unitization is investigated. As an example, it is shown that the group algebra is ()--weakly amenable for any...
For a locally convex *-algebra A equipped with a fixed continuous *-character ε (which is roughly speaking a generalized F*-algebra), we define a cohomological property, called property (FH), which is similar to character amenability. Let be the space of continuous functions with compact support on a second countable locally compact group G equipped with the convolution *-algebra structure and a certain inductive topology. We show that has property (FH) if and only if G has property (T). On...
We study the relationship between the classical invariance properties of amenable locally compact groups G and the approximate diagonals possessed by their associated group algebras L¹(G). From the existence of a weak form of approximate diagonal for L¹(G) we provide a direct proof that G is amenable. Conversely, we give a formula for constructing a strong form of approximate diagonal for any amenable locally compact group. In particular we have a new proof of Johnson's Theorem: A locally compact...
We study the notion of character Connes amenability of dual Banach algebras and show that if is an Arens regular Banach algebra, then is character Connes amenable if and only if is character amenable, which will resolve positively Runde’s problem for this concept of amenability. We then characterize character Connes amenability of various dual Banach algebras related to locally compact groups. We also investigate character Connes amenability of Lau product and module extension of Banach algebras....
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.
Let G be a locally compact group with left Haar measure μ, and let L1(G) be the convolution Banach algebra of integrable functions on G with respect to μ. In this paper we are concerned with the investigation of the structure of G in terms of analytic semigroups in L1(G).
