Let B be a unital Banach algebra. A projection in B which is equivalent to the identitity may give rise to a matrix-like structure on any two-sided ideal A in B. In this set-up we prove a theorem to the effect that the bounded Hochschild…

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $M$ be a Banach right $A$-module. A linear map $\delta : M\to M$ is called a generalized derivation if there exists a derivation $d : A \to A$ such that $$\delta(xa)=\delta(x)a + x d(a) \quad (a \in A, x \in…

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $I$ a dense ideal in $A$. A natural question in the theory of operator algebras is whether the property that all derivations $D: A \to I$ are inner (implemented by elements in $I$) implies that all…

We review and analyse techniques from the literature for extending a normed algebra, A to a normed algebra, B, so that B has interesting or desirable properties which A may lack. For example, B might include roots of monic polynomials over…

Let $\mathfrak{A}$ be a Banach algebra, and $\mathcal{X}$ a Banach $\mathfrak{A}$-bimodule. A bounded linear mapping $\mathcal{D}:\mathfrak{A}\rightarrow \mathcal{X}$ is approximately semi-inner derivation if there eixist nets…

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…

Let $A$ be a C$^*$-algebra, and let $X$ be a Banach $A$-bimodule. B. E. Johnson showed that local derivations from $A$ into $X$ are derivations. We extend this concept of locality to the higher cohomology of a $C^*$-algebra %for…

A Banach algebra A is self-induced if the multiplication is an isomorphism from the A-balanced projective tensor-square of A to A. The class of self-induced Banach algebras is a natural generalization of unital Banach algebras, providing a…

Let $\cal A$ be a Banach algebra. We study those closed ideals $I$ of $\cal A$ for which the first cohomology group of $\cal A$ with coefficients in $I^*$ is trivial; i.e. $H^1(\cal A,I^*)=\{0\}$. We investigate such closed ideals when…

Let $A$ and $B$ be Banach algebras and let $B$ be an algebraic Banach $A-$bimodule. Then the $\ell^1-$direct sum $A\times B$ equipped with the multiplication $$(a_1,b_1)(a_2,b_2)=(a_1a_2,a_1\cdot b_2+b_1\cdot a_2+b_1b_2),~~ (a_1, a_2\in A,…

The theory of M-ideals and multiplier mappings of Banach spaces naturally generalizes to left (or right) M-ideals and multiplier mappings of operator spaces. These subspaces and mappings are intrinsically characterized in terms of the…

Let X be a non-degenerate left Banach module over a normed algebra A having a bounded approximate left identity. We show that, if A is a left ideal of a larger algebra, then this representation can be extended to a representation of the…

We show that a representation of a Banach algebra $A$ on a Banach space $X$ can be extended to a canonical representation of $A^{**}$ on $X$ if and only if certain orbit maps $A\to X$ are weakly compact. When this is the case, we show that…

Let $B$ be the split extension of a finite dimensional algebra $C$ by a $C$-$C$-bimodule $E$. We define a morphism of associative graded algebras $\varphi^*:\HH^*(B)\rightarrow \HH^*(C)$ from the Hochschild cohomology of $B$ to that of $C$,…

In this paper, we study some cohomlogical properties of Banach algebras. For a Banach algebra $A$ and a Banach $A$-bimodule $B$, we investigate the vanishing of the first Hochschild cohomology groups $H^1(A^n,B^m)$ and $H_{w^*}^1(A^n,B^m)$,…

We look for an effective description of the algebra D_{Lie}(X,B) of operators on a bimodule X over an algebra B, generated by inner derivations. It is shown that in some important examples D_{Lie}(X,B) consists of all elementary operators…

Let $A$ and $X$ be Banach algebras and let $X$ be an algebraic Banach $A-$module. Then the $\ell^1-$direct sum $A\times X$ equipped with the multiplication $$(a,x)(b,y)=(ab, ay+xb+xy)\quad (a,b\in A, x,y\in X)$$ is a Banach algebra, denoted…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be two algebras, let $\mathcal{M}$ be a $\mathcal{B}$-bimodule and let $n$ be a positive integer. A linear mapping $D_n:\mathcal{A} \rightarrow \mathcal{M}$ is called a strongly generalized derivation of…

In this paper, we investigate homological properties of Banach algebras. We show that retractions Banach algebras preserve biprojectivity, contractibility and biflatness. We also prove that contractibility of second dual of a Banach algebra…
