Let $K$ denote a locally compact commutative hypergroup, $L^1(K)$ the hypergroup algebra, and $\alpha$ a real-valued hermitian character of $K$. We show that $K$ is $\alpha$-amenable if and only if $L^1(K)$ is $\alpha$-left amenable. We…

Let $K$ be a commutative compact hypergroup and $L^1(K)$ the hypergroup algebra. We show that $L^1(K)$ is amenable if and only if $\pi_K$, the Plancherel weight on the dual space $\widehat{K}$, is bounded. Furthermore, we show that if $K$…

Let $UC(K)$ denote the Banach space of all bounded uniformly continuous functions on a hypergroup $K$. The main results of this article concern on the $\alpha$-amenability of $UC(K)$ and quotients and products of hypergroups. It is also…

Building on our previous work, we study the non-relative homology of quantum group convolution algebras. Our main result establishes the equivalence of amenability of a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ and 1-injectivity of…

Given a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ and a closed quantum subgroup $\mathbb{H}$, we show that $\mathbb{G}$ is amenable if and only if $\mathbb{H}$ is amenable and $\mathbb{G}$ acts amenably on the quantum homogenous space…

A locally compact group $G$ is amenable if and only if it has Reiter's property $(P_p)$ for $p=1$ or, equivalently, all $p \in [1,\infty)$, i.e., there is a net $(m_\alpha)_\alpha$ of non-negative norm one functions in $L^p(G)$ such that…

We construct a singly generated subalgebra of ${\mathcal K}({\mathcal H})$ which is non-amenable, yet is boundedly approximately contractible. The example embeds into a homogeneous von Neumann algebra. We also observe that there are singly…

In this short note, further to Ng's study, we extend Bekka amenability and weak Bekka amenability to general locally compact quantum groups. We generalize some Ng's results to the general case. In particular, we show that, a locally compact…

Supramenability of groups is characterised in terms of invariant measures on locally compact spaces. This opens the door to constructing interesting crossed product C*-algebras for non-supramenable groups. In particular, stable Kirchberg…

A topological group $G$ is extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. Using the concentration of measure techniques developed by Gromov and Milman, we prove that the group of automorphisms of…

Let $K$ be a spherically complete field with a non-Archimedean valuation. We define a new version of $K-$amenability for discrete groups and show that the Banach $K-$algebra $l^1(G)$ is amenable iff $G$ is $K-$amenable in our sense.

Different notions of amenability on hypergroups and their relations are studied. Developing Leptin's theorem for discrete hypergroups, we characterize the existence of a bounded approximate identity for hypergroup Fourier algebras. We study…

We prove that the measure algebra $M(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ is Connes-amenable if and only if $G$ is amenable.

Given a minimal action $\alpha$ of a countable group on the Cantor set, we show that the alternating full group $\mathsf{A}(\alpha)$ is non-amenable if and only if the topological full group $\mathsf{F}(\alpha)$ is $C^*$-simple. This…

We study the concept of co-amenability for a compact quantum group. Several conditions are derived that are shown to be equivalent to it. Some consequences of co-amenability that we obtain are faithfulness of the Haar integral and automatic…

This paper concerns the study of regular Fourier hypergroups through multipliers of their associated Fourier algebras. We establish hypergroup analogues of well-known characterizations of group amenability, introduce a notion of weak…

Weak amenability of a weighted group algebra, or a Beurling algebra, is a long-standing open problem. The commutative case has been extensively investigated and fully characterized. We study the non-commutative case. Given a weight function…

We study continuous bounded cohomology of totally disconnected locally compact groups with coefficients in a non-Archimedean valued field $K$. To capture the features of classical amenability that induce the vanishing of real bounded…

We prove that a hypergroup admitting a countable basis and an invariant Haar measure has normed convergence property if and only if it is compact.

We show that any connected locally compact group which admits an expansive automorphism is nilpotent. We also show that for any locally compact group $G$, $\alpha\in {\rm Aut}(G)$ is expansive if and only if for any $\alpha$-invariant…
