In this paper, we introduce a weak form of amenability on topological semigroups that we call $\varphi$-amenability, where $\varphi$ is a character on a topological semigroup. Some basic properties of this new notion are obtained and by…

Given a Banach space $A$ and fix a non-zero $\varphi\in A^*$ with $\|\varphi\|\leq 1$. Then the product $a\cdot b=\langle\varphi, a\rangle\ b$ turning $A$ into a Banach algebra which will be denoted by $_\varphi A.$ Some of the main…

Let ${\mathcal A}$ be a Banach algebra and let $\varphi $ be a non-zero character on ${\mathcal A}$. Suppose that ${\mathcal A}_M$ is the closure of the faithful Banach algebra ${\mathcal A}$ in the multiplier norm. In this paper,…

Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space and $A$ a Banach algebra. We investigate amenability properties of the algebra $C(X,A)$ of all $A$-valued continuous functions. We show that $C(X,A)$ has a bounded approximate diagonal if and only if $A$…

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $\phi\in \Delta(A)\cup\{0\}$. We say that $A$ is $\Delta$-weak $\phi$-amenable if there exists an $m\in A^{**}$ such that $m(\phi)=0$ and $m(\psi.a)=\psi(a)$ for each $\psi\in \Delta(A)$ and $a\in…

Given a compact space $X$ and a commutative Banach algebra $A$, the character spaces of $A$-valued function algebras on $X$ are investigated. The class of natural $A$-valued function algebras, those whose characters can be described by…

We consider a multiplicative variation on the classical Kowalski-S\l{}odkowski Theorem which identifies the characters among the collection of all functionals on a Banach algebra $A$. In particular we show that, if $A$ is a $C^*$-algebra,…

$C^*$-algebras, group algebras, and the algebra $\mathcal{A}(X)$ of approximable operators on a Banach space $X$ having the bounded approximation property are known to be zero product determined. We are interested in giving a quantitative…

The purpose of this paper is to characterize several classes of functional identities involving inverses with related mappings from a unital Banach algebra $\mathcal{A}$ over the complex field into a unital $\mathcal{A}$-bimodule…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for amenability of the Banach algebra of approximable operators on a Banach space. We further investigate the relationship between amenability of this algebra and factorization of operators,…

In this paper we study the ideal amenability of Banach algebras. Let $\cal A$ be a Banach algebra and let $I$ be a closed two-sided ideal in $\cal A$, $\cal A$ is $I$-weakly amenable if $H^{1}({\cal A},I^*)=\{0\}$. Further, $\cal A$ is…

For a topological group $G$, amenability can be characterized by the amenability of the convolution Banach algebra $L^1(G)$. Here a Banach algebra $A$ is called amenable if every bounded derivation from $A$ into any dual--type…

In this paper, we study multiplicative functions $\varphi \colon A \to \Bbb C$ on a natural Banach function algebra $A$ on a compact Hausdorff space $X$, such that $\varphi(f)\in \sigma(f)$ for all $f\in A$. It is shown that for certain…

It is an open problem whether an infinite-dimensional amenable Banach algebra exists whose underlying Banach space is reflexive. We give sufficient conditions for a reflexive, amenable Banach algebra to be finite-dimensional (and thus a…

In this paper, we introduce $p$-amenability, bounded $s$-symmetric approximate and $s$-symmetric virtual diagonals for a Banach algebra $\mathfrak{A}$ where $s$ is a non-zero element of algebraic center of $\mathfrak{A}$ that is denoted by…

We introduce two notions of amenability for a Banach algebra $\cal A$. Let $I$ be a closed two-sided ideal in $\cal A$, we say $\cal A$ is $I$-weakly amenable if the first cohomology group of $\cal A$ with coefficients in the dual space…

Amenability of any of the algebras described in the title is known to force them to be finite-dimensional. The analogous problems for \emph{approximate} amenability have been open for some years now. In this article we give a complete…
