Abstract

Let AA be a Banach algebra with a non-empty character space. We say that a bounded net {eα}\{e_{\alpha}\} in AA is a bounded Δ\Delta-weak approximate identity for AA if, for each aAa\in A and compact subset KK of Δ(A)\Delta(A), eαa^a^K=supϕKϕ(eαa)ϕ(a)0||\widehat{e_{\alpha}a}-\widehat{a}||_{K}=\sup_{\phi\in K}|\phi(e_{\alpha}a)-\phi(a)|\rightarrow 0. For each 1<p<1<p<\infty, we prove that the Figa-Talamanca Herz algebra, Ap(G)A_{p}(G) has a bounded Δ\Delta-weak approximate identity if and only if GG is an amenable group. Also we give a sufficient condition for amenability of group GG.
