Abstract

In this paper we define module biprojctivity and module biflatness for a Banach algebra which is a Banach module over another Banach algebra with compatible actions, and find their relation to classical biprojectivity and biflatness. As a typical example, We show that for an inverse semigroup SS with an upward directed set of idempotents EE, the semigroup algebra 1(S) \ell ^{1}(S), as an 1(E)\ell ^{1}(E)-module, is module biprojective if and only if an appropriate group homomorphic image of SS is finite. Also we show that 1(S)\ell ^{1}(S) is module biflat if and only if SS is amenable.
