Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $M$ a unitary $R$-module. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of semi-$n$-submodules as an extension of semi $n$-ideals and $n$-submodules. A proper submodule $N$ of $M$ is…

Let X be a complex Banach space of dimension at least 2, and let S be a multiplicative semigroup of operators on X such that the rank of AB - BA is at most 1 for all pairs {A,B} in S. We prove that S has a non-trivial invariant subspace…

If $M$ is an $R$-module, we study the submodules $K\leq M$ with the property that $K$ is invariant with respect to all monomorphisms $K\rightarrow M$. Such submodules are called \textsl{strictly invariant}. For the case of $%…

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 R be a commutative ring with identity and M be an R-module. A proper ideal I of R is said to be a $z^\circ$-ideal if for each $a \in I$ the intersection of all minimal prime ideals containing a is contained in I. The purpose of this…

A Banach space contains either a minimal subspace or a continuum of incomparable subspaces. General structure results for analytic equivalence relations are applied in the context of Banach spaces to show that if $E_0$ does not reduce to…

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…

We study the class of compact spaces that appear as structure spaces of separable Banach lattices. In other words, we analyze what $C(K)$ spaces appear as principal ideals of separable Banach lattices. Among other things, it is shown that…

In this paper, all rings are commutative with nonzero identity. Let $M$ be an $R$-module. A proper submodule $N$ of $M$ is called a classical prime submodule, if for each $m\in M$ and elements $a,b\in R$, $abm\in N$ implies that $am\in N$…

We examine the condition that a complex Banach algebra $A$ have dense invertible group. We show that, for commutative algebras, this property is preserved by integral extensions. We also investigate the connections with an old problem in…

In the present paper, the concepts of module (uniform) approximate amenability and contractibility of Banach algebras that are modules over another Banach algebra, are introduced. The general theory is developed and some hereditary…

The notion of a formally smooth bimodule is introduced and its basic properties are analyzed. In particular it is proven that a $B$-$A$ bimodule $M$ which is a generator left $B$-module is formally smooth if and only if the $M$-Hochschild…

There has been a long-standing conjecture in Banach algebra that every amenable operator is similar to a normal operator. In this paper, we study the structure of amenable operators on Hilbert spaces. At first, we show that the conjecture…

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 $A$…

We define the extra-nice dimensions and prove that the subset of locally stable 1-parameter families in $C^{\infty}(N\times[0,1],P)$, also known as pseudo-isotopies, is dense if and only if the pair of dimensions $(\dim N, \dim P)$ is in…

A Banach space $X$ is called subprojective if any of its infinite dimensional subspaces $Y$ contains a further infinite dimensional subspace complemented in $X$. This paper is devoted to systematic study of subprojectivity. We examine the…

The purpose of this note is to describe some algebraic conditions on a Banach algebra which force it to be finite dimensional. One of the main results in Theorem~2 which states that for a locally compact group $G$, $G$ is compact if there…

We prove that every lattice homomorphism acting on a Banach space $\mathcal{X}$ with the lattice structure given by an unconditional basis has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace. In fact, it has a non-trivial closed invariant ideal,…

This paper is a continuation of our study of compact, power compact, Riesz, and quasicompact endomorphisms of commutative Banach algebras. Previously it has been shown that if $B$ is a unital commutative semisimple Banach algebra with…

We give a criterion ensuring that the elementary class of a modular Banach space E (that is, the class of Banach spaces, some ultrapower of which is linearly isometric to an ultrapower of E) consists of all direct sums E\oplus_m H, where H…
