Weak amenability of the second dual of a Banach algebra

M. Eshaghi Gordji, M. Filali (2007)

Studia Mathematica

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 class of...

Weak amenability of weighted group algebras on some discrete groups

Varvara Shepelska (2015)

Studia Mathematica

Weak amenability of ℓ¹(G,ω) for commutative groups G was completely characterized by N. Gronbaek in 1989. In this paper, we study weak amenability of ℓ¹(G,ω) for two important non-commutative locally compact groups G: the free group ₂, which is non-amenable, and the amenable (ax + b)-group. We show that the condition that characterizes weak amenability of ℓ¹(G,ω) for commutative groups G remains necessary for the non-commutative case, but it is sufficient neither for ℓ¹(₂,ω) nor for ℓ¹((ax + b),ω)...

Weighted measure algebras and uniform norms

S. J. Bhatt, H. V. Dedania (2006)

Studia Mathematica

Let ω be a weight on an LCA group G. Let M(G,ω) consist of the Radon measures μ on G such that ωμ is a regular complex Borel measure on G. It is proved that: (i) M(G,ω) is regular iff M(G,ω) has unique uniform norm property (UUNP) iff L¹(G,ω) has UUNP and G is discrete; (ii) M(G,ω) has a minimum uniform norm iff L¹(G,ω) has UUNP; (iii) M₀₀(G,ω) is regular iff M₀₀(G,ω) has UUNP iff L¹(G,ω) has UUNP, where M₀₀(G,ω) := {μ ∈ M(G,ω) : μ̂ = 0 on Δ(M(G,ω))∖Δ(L¹(G,ω))}.

When is there a discontinuous homomorphism from L¹(G)?

Volker Runde (1994)

Studia Mathematica

Let A be an A*-algebra with enveloping C*-algebra C*(A). We show that, under certain conditions, a homomorphism from C*(A) into a Banach algebra is continuous if and only if its restriction to A is continuous. We apply this result to the question in the title.
