Minimal Topological Algebras.
We discuss some results about derivations and crossed homomorphisms arising in the context of locally compact groups and their group algebras, in particular, L¹(G), the von Neumann algebra VN(G) and actions of G on related algebras. We answer a question of Dales, Ghahramani, Grønbæk, showing that L¹(G) is always permanently weakly amenable. Then we show that for some classes of groups (e.g. IN-groups) the homology of L¹(G) with coefficients in VN(G) is trivial. But this is no longer true, in general,...
Multi-dimensional generalizations of the Wiener-Żelazko and Lévy-Żelazko theorems are obtained.
For all convolution algebras L 1[0, 1); L loc1 and A(ω) = ∩n L 1(ωn), the derivations are of the form D μ f = Xf * μ for suitable measures μ, where (Xf)(t) = tf(t). We describe the (weakly) compact as well as the (weakly) Montel derivations on these algebras in terms of properties of the measure μ. Moreover, for all these algebras we show that the extension of D μ to a natural dual space is weak-star continuous.
We study Banach algebras that are quotients of uniform algebras and we show in particular that the class is stable by interpolation. We also show that , are algebras and that is a -algebra if and only if .
This paper studies properties of a large class of algebras of holomorphic functions with bounded growth in several complex variables.The main result is useful in the applications. Using the symbolic calculus of L. Waelbroeck, it gives for instance a theorem of the “Nullstellensatz” type and approximation theorems.
