Representing Positive Definite B-Invariant Functions on [FC]... Groups.
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.
We survey some recent results on functional calculus for generators of holomorphic semigroups, which have been obtained using versions of fractional derivation of Riemann-Liouville or Weyl type. Such a calculus allows us to give tight estimates even in concrete L¹ examples.
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.
For two Banach algebras and ℬ, an interesting product , 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.
We study the relation between standard ideals of the convolution Sobolev algebra and the convolution Beurling algebra L¹((1+t)ⁿ) on the half-line (0,∞). In particular it is proved that all closed ideals in with compact and countable hull are standard.
