We show that if $G$ is an amenable topological group, then the topological group $L^{0}(G)$ of strongly measurable maps from $([0,1],\lambda)$ into $G$ endowed with the topology of convergence in measure is whirly amenable, hence extremely…

We study the group $C^*$-algebras $C^*_{L^{p+}}(G)$ - constructed from $L^p$-integrability properties of matrix coefficients of unitary representations - of locally compact groups $G$ acting on (semi-)homogeneous trees of sufficiently large…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $(\Phi,\Psi)$ a complimentary pair of Young functions. In this article, we consider the Banach algebra of $\Psi$-pseudomeasures $PM_\Psi(G)$ and the Orlicz Fig\`{a}-Talamanca Herz algebra $A_\Phi(G).$…

Let G be a discrete group. Suppose that the reduced group C*-algebra of G is simple. We use results of Kalantar-Kennedy and Haagerup, and Banach space interpolation, to prove that, for p in (1,infinity), the reduced group L^p operator…

Let $G$ be a compact group. For $1\leq p\leq\infty$ we introduce a class of Banach function algebras $\mathrm{A}^p(G)$ on $G$ which are the Fourier algebras in the case $p=1$, and for $p=2$ are certain algebras discovered in…

It is shown that a locally compact group $G$ is amenable if and only if some certain closed ideals of the Fig\`{a}-Talamanca-Herz algebra $A_{p}(G)$ admit bounded $\Delta$-weak approximate identities. Also, similar results are obtained for…

Extending M.\ Daws' definition of ultra-amenable Banach algebras, we introduce the notion of operator ultra-amenability for completely contractive Banach algebras. For a locally compact group $G$, we show that the operator ultra-amenability…

As is well known, the equivalence between amenability of a locally compact group $G$ and injectivity of its von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{L}(G)$ does not hold in general beyond inner amenable groups. In this paper, we show that the…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…

We study a generalisation of operator spaces modelled on $L_p$ spaces, instead of Hilbert spaces, using the notion of $p$-complete boundedness, as studied by Pisier and Le Merdy. We show that the Fig\'a-Talamanca-Herz Algebras $A_p(G)$…

We study embeddings of $L^p$-operator algebras arising from (twisted) \'etale groupoids, with particular emphasis on rigidity phenomena for $p\neq 2$. Our methods rely on a detailed analysis of core normalizers and their functorial behavior…

We introduce an appropriate notion of inner amenability for locally compact quantum groups, study its basic properties, related notions, and examples arising from the bicrossed product construction. We relate these notions to homological…

For a locally compact group $G$ and $p \in (1,\infty)$, we define and study the Beurling-Figa-Talamanca-Herz algebras $A_p(G,\omega)$. For $p=2$ and abelian $G$, these are precisely the Beurling algebras on the dual group $\hat{G}$. For $p…

In this work, we study groupoids and their approximation properties, generalizing both the definitions and some known results for the group case. More precisely, we introduce weak amenability for groupoids using the definition of the…

We pursue the study of $\mathrm L^1$ full groups of graphings and of the closures of their derived groups, which we call derived $\mathrm L^1$ full groups. Our main result shows that aperiodic probability measure-preserving actions of…

Let G be a locally compact group, and ZL1(G) be the centre of its group algebra. We show that when $G$ is compact ZL1(G) is not amenable when G is either nonabelian and connected, or is a product of infinitely many finite nonabelian groups.…

Let G be a locally compact group, M(G) denote its measure algebra and L^1(G) denote its group algebra. Also, let pi:G->U(H) be a strongly continuous unitary representation, and let CB^{sigma}(B(H)) be the space of normal completely bounded…

Recall that a definable group is `definably amenable' if it admits a translation-invariant Keisler measure. We prove a combinatorial characterization of definable amenability for groups definable in NIP theories. More specifically, given a…

For each $1\le p<\infty$ and each countable oriented graph $Q$ we introduce an $L^p$-operator algebra $\mathcal{O}^p(Q)$ which contains the Leavitt path $\mathbb{C}$-algebra $L_Q$ as a dense subalgebra and is universal for those…

In this paper, we study weak amenability of Beurling algebras. To this end, we introduce the notion inner quasi-additive functions and prove that for a locally compact group $G$, the Banach algebra $L^1(G, \omega)$ is weakly amenable if and…
