Three natural definitions for amenability of general Hopf C^*-algebras (all of them being generalizations of the case of locally compact groups) were given and the relations between them were studied. Moreover, amenability in the situation…

A group G is representable in a Banach space X if G is isomorphic to the group of isometries on X in some equivalent norm. We prove that a countable group G is representable in a separable real Banach space X in several general cases,…

The ${\ell}^1$-convolution algebra of a semilattice is known to have trivial cohom ology in degrees 1,2 and 3 whenever the coefficient bimodule is symmetric. We ex tend this result to all cohomology groups of degree $\geq 1$ with symmetric…

For a semisimple unital Banach algebra $A$ over $\mathbb{C}$, and elements $a,b\in A,$ we show that the similarity orbits, $\mathrm{orb}(a)$ and $\mathrm{orb}(b)$, over the principal component of the invertible group of $A$ commute…

We show that if a locally compact group $G$ is non-abelian then the amenability constant of its Fourier algebra is $\geq 3/2$, extending a result of Johnson (JLMS, 1994) who proved that this holds for finite non-abelian groups. Our lower…

We calculate the local cyclic homology of group Banach-algebras of discrete groups acting properly, isometrically and cocompactly on a CAT(0)-space.

In 1972, the late B. E. Johnson introduced the notion of an amenable Banach algebra and asked whether the Banach algebra $B(E)$ of all bounded linear operators on a Banach space $E$ could ever be amenable if $\dim E = \infty$. Somewhat…

Let $A_p(G)$ denote the Figa-Talamanca-Herz Banach Algebra of the locally compact group $G$, thus $A_2(G)$ is the Fourier Algebra of $G$. If $G$ is commutative then $A_2(G)=L^1(\hat{G}){\hat{}}$. Let $A^r_p(G)=A_p\cap L^r(G)$ with norm…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $p,q\in \mathbb{R}$ with $p>1$ $p\not=2$ and $q$ between $2$ and $p$ (if $p<2$ then $p<q<2$, if $p>2$ then $2<q<p.$) The main result of the paper is that $A_q(G)$ multiplies $A_p(G)$, more precisely we…

A host algebra of a topological group G is a C^*-algebra whose representations are in one-to-one correspondence with certain continuous unitary representations of G. In this paper we present an approach to host algebras for infinite…

We consider the compactness of derivations from commutative Banach algebras into their dual modules. We show that if there are no compact derivations from a commutative Banach algebra, $A$, into its dual module, then there are no compact…

In this article, we introduce and explore the notion of topological amenability in the broad setting of (locally compact) semihypergroups. We acquire several stationary, ergodic and Banach algebraic characterizations of the same in terms of…

We prove the following two results. First, the isometry semigroup of a unital properly infinite nuclear C*-algebra is right amenable. Second, the unitary group of a unital simple monotracial C*-algebra whose tracial GNS representation is…

We show that for algebraic groups over local fields of characteristic zero, the following are equivalent: Every homomorphism has a closed image, every unitary representation decomposes into a direct sum of finite-dimensional and mixing…

We characterise the strictly closed left invariant C*-subalgebras of the C*-algebra C_b(G) of bounded continuous functions on a locally compact group G. On the dual side, we characterise the strictly closed invariant C*-subalgebras of the…

In this paper, we introduce and investigate the concepts of cyclically weakly amenable and point amenable. Then, we compare these concepts with the concepts of weakly amenable and cyclically amenable and find the relation between them. For…

We introduce the class of Beurling-Fourier algebras on locally compact groups and show that they are non-commutative analogs of classical Beurling algebras. We obtain various results with regard to the operator amenability, operator weak…

The paper of S. Gulick [Sidney (Denny) L. Gulick, Commutativity and ideals in the biduals of topological algebras, Pacific J. Math 18 No. 1, 1966] contains some good mathematics, but it also contains an error. It claims that for a Banach…

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra with a non-empty character space. We say that a bounded net $\{e_{\alpha}\}$ in $A$ is a bounded $\Delta$-weak approximate identity for $A$ if, for each $a\in A$ and compact subset $K$ of $\Delta(A)$,…

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…
