Some notions of amenability for certain products of Banach algebras

Eghbal Ghaderi, Rasoul Nasr-Isfahani, Mehdi Nemati (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For two Banach algebras and ℬ, an interesting product × θ , called the θ-Lau product, was recently introduced and studied for some nonzero characters θ on ℬ. Here, we characterize some notions of amenability as approximate amenability, essential amenability, n-weak amenability and cyclic amenability between and ℬ and their θ-Lau product.

Spectrum of commutative Banach algebras and isomorphism of C*-algebras related to locally compact groups

Zhiguo Hu (1998)

Studia Mathematica

Let A be a semisimple commutative regular tauberian Banach algebra with spectrum Σ A . In this paper, we study the norm spectra of elements of s p a n ¯ Σ A and present some applications. In particular, we characterize the discreteness of Σ A in terms of norm spectra. The algebra A is said to have property (S) if, for all φ ¯ Σ A 0 , φ has a nonempty norm spectrum. For a locally compact group G, let 2 d ( Ĝ ) denote the C*-algebra generated by left translation operators on L 2 ( G ) and G d denote the discrete group G. We prove that the Fourier...

Strong continuity of invariant probability charges

Harald Luschgy, Sławomir Solecki (2004)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Consider a semigroup action on a set. We derive conditions, in terms of the induced action of the semigroup on {0,1}-valued probability charges, which ensure that all invariant probability charges are strongly continuous.

Strongly invariant means on commutative hypergroups

Rupert Lasser, Josef Obermaier (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We introduce and study strongly invariant means m on commutative hypergroups, m ( T x φ · ψ ) = m ( φ · T x ̃ ψ ) , x ∈ K, φ , ψ L ( K ) . We show that the existence of such means is equivalent to a strong Reiter condition. For polynomial hypergroups we derive a growth condition for the Haar weights which is equivalent to the existence of strongly invariant means. We apply this characterization to show that there are commutative hypergroups which do not possess strongly invariant means.

Testing Cayley graph densities

Goulnara N. Arzhantseva, Victor S. Guba, Martin Lustig, Jean-Philippe Préaux (2008)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

We present a computer-assisted analysis of combinatorial properties of the Cayley graphs of certain finitely generated groups: given a group with a finite set of generators, we study the density of the corresponding Cayley graph, that is, the least upper bound for the average vertex degree (= number of adjacent edges) of any finite subgraph. It is known that an m -generated group is amenable if and only if the density of the corresponding Cayley graph equals to 2 m . We test amenable and non-amenable...
