Non-amenable finitely presented torsion-by-cyclic groups.
Let be the left convolution operators on with support included in F and denote those which are norm limits of convolution by bounded measures in M(F). Conditions on F are given which insure that , and are as big as they can be, namely have as a quotient, where the ergodic space W contains, and at times is very big relative to . Other subspaces of are considered. These improve results of Cowling and Fournier, Price and Edwards, Lust-Piquard, and others.
We study the notion of left -biflatness for Segal algebras and semigroup algebras. We show that the Segal algebra is left -biflat if and only if is amenable. Also we characterize left -biflatness of semigroup algebra in terms of biflatness, when is a Clifford semigroup.
We present some extension of the concept of an invariant mean to a space of vector-valued mappings defined on a semigroup. Next, we apply it to the study of the stability of some functional equation.
