The paper deals with weighted spaces $L_p^w(G)$ on a locally compact group G. If w is a positive measurable function on G then we define the space $L_p^w(G)$, $p\ge1$, as $L_p^w(G)=\{f:fw\in L_p(G)\}$. We consider weights such that these…

Criterion of (Shilov) regularity for weighted algebras $L_1^w(G)$ on a locally compact abelian group $G$ is known by works of Beurling (1949) and Domar (1956). In the present paper this criterion is extended to translation invariant…

Let $G$ be a locally compact Abelian group, and $w: G\to (0, \infty)$ be a Borel measurable weighted function. In this paper, the algebraic and topological properties of group algebra are studied and assessed. We show that the weighted…

It is known that every countable semigroup admits a weight w for which the semigroup algebra l_1(S,w) is Arens regular and no uncountable group admits such a weight; see [4]. In this paper, among other things, we show that for a large class…

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 $L^1_\om(G)$ be a Beurling algebra on a locally compact abelian group $G$. We look for general conditions on the weight which allows the vanishing of continuous derivations of $L^1_\om(G)$. This leads us to introducing vector-valued…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $\omega$ be a continuous weight on $G$. In this paper, we first characterize bicontinuous biseparating algebra isomorphisms between weighted $L^p$-algebras. As a result we extend previous results of…

Let $G$ be a locally compact, compactly generated group of polynomial growth and let $\omega$ be a weight on $G$. Under proper assumptions on the weight $\omega$, the Banach space $L^p(G,\omega)$ is a Banach \ast-algebra. In this paper we…

In this paper we consider the structure of general quantum W-algebras. We introduce the notions of deformability, positive-definiteness, and reductivity of a W-algebra. We show that one can associate a reductive finite Lie algebra to each…

A countable group is C*-simple if its reduced C*-algebra is a simple algebra. Since Powers recognised in 1975 that non-abelian free groups are C*-simple, large classes of groups which appear naturally in geometry have been identified,…

A common fixed point property for semigroups is applied to show that the group algebra $L^1(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ is $2m$-weakly amenable for each integer $m\geq 1$.

We describe $\sigma$-matching, interchangeable and, as a consequence, totally compatible products on some classes of associative algebras, including unital algebras, the semigroup algebras of rectangular bands, algebras with enough…

For $p\in [1,\infty)$ we study representations of a locally compact group $G$ on $L^p$-spaces and $QSL^p$-spaces. The universal completions $F^p(G)$ and $F^p_{\mathrm{QS}}(G)$ of $L^1(G)$ with respect to these classes of representations…

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…

A p-group is called powerful if every commutator is a product of pth powers when p is odd and a product of fourth powers when p=2. In the group algebra of a group G of p-power order over a finite field of characteristic p, the group of…

Let G be a locally compact abelian group, $\omega:G\to (0,\infty)$ be a weight, and ($\Phi$,$\Psi$) be a complementary pair of strictly increasing continuous Young functions. We show that for the weighted Orlicz algebra $L^\Phi_\omega(G)$,…

Let G be a locally compact non-compact group. We show that under a very mild assumption on the weight function w, the weighted group algebra L_1(G,w) is strongly Arens irregular in the sense of Dales-Lamb-Lau. To this end, we first derive a…

Let G be a nilpotent p-valuable (compact p-adic Lie) group. There is an ongoing investigation into the prime ideals of its completed group algebra (Iwasawa algebra), and there remains an open conjecture that they can all be proved to have a…

Let G be an abelian group and let lambda be the smallest rank of any group whose direct sum with a free group is isomorphic to G. If lambda is uncountable, then G has lambda pairwise disjoint, non-free subgroups. There is an example where…

We continue the investigation of notions of approximate amenability that were introduced in work of the second and third authors. It is shown that every boundedly approximately contractible Banach algebra has a bounded approximate identity.…
