A locally compact group $G$ is called Hermitian if the spectrum $\text{Sp}_{L^1(G)}(f)\subseteq\mathbb R$ for every $f\in L^1(G)$ satisfying $f=f^*$, and called quasi-Hermitian if $\text{Sp}_{L^1(G)}(f)\subseteq\mathbb R$ for every $f\in…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. In \cite{KK_2025(1)}, the authors introduced $R$-weighted graphs as a tool for studying commutators in groups and Lie algebras. These graphs are equivalent to a system of balance equations, and their…

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…

In this note we state a conjecture that characterizes unital C*-algebras for which the unitary group is amenable as a topological group in the norm topology. We prove the conjecture for simple, separable, stably finite, unital, $\mathcal…

Let G be one of the local gauge groups C(X,U(n)), C^\infty(X,U(n)), C(X,SU(n)) or C^\infty(X,SU(n)) where X is a compact Riemannian manifold. We observe that G has a nontrivial group topology, coarser than its natural topology, w.r.t. which…

We show how the measure theory of regular compacted-Borel measures defined on the $\delta$-ring of compacted-Borel subsets of a weighted locally compact group $(G,\omega)$ provides a compatible framework for defining the corresponding…

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 $\frak{F}(X, A)$ be one of the Banach algebras $\hbox{Lip}(X, A)$ or $\hbox{lip}(X, A)$. In this paper, we show that $\frak{F}(X, A)$ is amenable if and only if $X$ is uniformly discrete and $A$ is amenable. We also prove that the…

We initiate a quantitative study of measure equivalence (and orbit equivalence) between finitely generated groups, which extends the classical setting of $\mathrm L^p$ measure equivalence. In this paper, our main focus will be on amenable…

Let $\mathfrak A$ be a maximal subdiagonal algebra in a $\sigma$-finite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal M$. If every right invariant subspace of $\mathfrak A$ in the non-commutative Hardy space $H^2$ is of Beurling type, then we say…

The dual Lie bialgebra of a certain ``quasitriangular'' Lie bialgebra structure on the Heisenberg Lie algebra determines a (non-compact) Poisson--Lie group G. The compatible Poisson bracket on G is non-linear, but it can still be realized…

A weakly complete vector space over $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{C}$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{K}^X$ for some set $X$ algebraically and topologically. The significance of this type of topological vector spaces is…

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…

A locally compact groupoid is said to have the weak containment property if its full $C^*$-algebra coincides with its reduced one. This property is strictly weaker than amenability and is known to be equivalent to amenability for…

Non-amenability of ${\mathcal B}(E)$ has been surprisingly difficult to prove for the classical Banach spaces, but is now known for $E= \ell_p$ and $E=L_p$ for all $1\leq p<\infty$. However, the arguments are rather indirect: the proof for…

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…

Let $K$ be a commutative hypergroup and $\alpha\in \hat{K}$. We show that $K$ is $\alpha$-amenable with the unique $\alpha$-mean $m_\alpha$ if and only if $m_\alpha\in L^1(K)\cap L^2(K)$ and $\alpha$ is isolated in $\hat{K}$. In contrast to…

Let $\omega$ be a continuous weight on $\mathbb R^+$ and let $L^1(\omega)$ be the corresponding convolution algebra. By results of Gr{\o}nb{\ae}k and Bade & Dales the continuous derivations from $L^1(\omega)$ to its dual space…

We present an introduction to weak amenability for locally compact groups, and a survey of some of the most important results regarding this property.

We investigate conditions for the extendibility of continuous algebra homomorphisms $\phi$ from the Fourier algebra $A(F)$ of a locally compact group $F$ to the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ to maps between…
