A Banach algebra $A$ is said to be zero Lie product determined if every continuous bilinear functional $\varphi \colon A\times A\to \mathbb{C}$ with the property that $\varphi(a,b)=0$ whenever $a$ and $b$ commute is of the form…

We show that an \'etale groupoid which is strongly amenable at infinity is amenable whenever its full and reduced $C^*$-algebras coincide.

For a Banach algebra $A$, we say that an element $M$ in $A\otimes^\gamma A$ is a hyper-commutator if $(a\otimes 1)M=M(1\otimes a)$ for every $a\in A$. A diagonal for a Banach algebra is a hyper-commutator which its image under diagonal…

In this paper we study unimodular amenable groups. The first part is devoted to results on the existence of uniform families of epsilon-quasi tilings for these groups. In this context, constructions of Ornstein and Weiss are extended by…

We prove that a discrete group $G$ is amenable iff it is strongly unitarizable in the following sense: every unitarizable representation $\pi$ on $G$ can be unitarized by an invertible chosen in the von Neumann algebra generated by the…

In this paper we introduce the notion of $\Delta$-weak character amenable Banach algebras and investigate $\Delta$-weak character amenability of certain Banach algebras such as projective tensor product $A\widehat{\otimes}B$, Lau product…

In this paper, we study the hereditary properties of module $(\phi,\varphi)$-amenability on Banach algebras. We also define the concept of module character contractibility for Banach algebras and obtain characterizations of module character…

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra. We call a pair $(G, B)$ a Gelfand theory for $A$ if the following axioms are satisfied: (G 1) $B$ is a $C^\ast$-algebra, and $G : A \to B$ is a homomorphism; (G 2) the assignment $L \mapsto G^{-1}(L)$ is a…

Associated to a family of $G$-$\ast$-endomorphisms on a $G$-C*-algebra $A$ satisfying certain minimality conditions, we give a $G$-C*-correspondence $\mathcal{E}$ over $A$ whose Cuntz--Pimsner algebra $\mathcal{O}_\mathcal{E}$ is simple.…

We show that a unital involutive Banach algebra, with identity of norm one and continuous involution, is a C*-algebra, with the given involution and norm, if every continuous linear functional attaining its norm at the identity is positive.

Let $({\sf G},\alpha, \omega,\mathfrak B)$ be a measurable twisted action of the locally compact group ${\sf G}$ on a Banach $^*$-algebra $\mathfrak B$ and $\mathfrak A$ a differential Banach $^*$-subalgebra of $\mathfrak B$, which is…

Let G be a locally compact topological group and X a compact space with continuous G-action. The main result of this essay states that the following statements are equivalent : 1) The action of G on X is topologically amenable ; 2) Every…

Let $\mathcal A$ be a Banach algebra. Using the concept of module biflatness, we show that the module amenability of the second dual $\mathcal A^{**}$ (with the first Arens product) necessitates the module amenability of $\mathcal A$. We…

Let G be an amenable group, let X be a Banach space and let \pi : G --> B(X) be a bounded representation. We show that if the set {\pi(t) : t \in G} is gamma-bounded then \pi extends to a bounded homomorphism w : C*(G) --> B(X) on the group…

When a locally compact group acts on a C*-correspondence, it also acts on the associated Cuntz-Pimsner algebra in a natural way. Hao and Ng have shown that when the group is amenable the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of the crossed product…

We show that all amenable, minimal actions of a large class of nonamenable countable groups on compact metric spaces have dynamical comparison. This class includes all nonamenable hyperbolic groups, many HNN-extensions, nonamenable…

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 $A_\Phi(G).$…

We show that topological amenability of an action of a countable discrete group on a compact space is equivalent to the existence of an invariant mean for the action. We prove also that this is equivalent to vanishing of bounded cohomology…

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 $G$ be a locally compact group, and let $WAP(G)$ denote the space of weakly almost periodic functions on $G$. We show that, if $G$ is a $[SIN]$-group, but not compact, then the dual Banach algebra $WAP(G)^\ast$ does not have a normal,…
