We study the connection between amenability, F{\o}lner conditions and the geometry of finitely generated semigroups. Using results of Klawe, we show that within an extremely broad class of semigroups (encompassing all groups, left…

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a compact quantum group and $A\subseteq B$ an inclusion of $\sigma$-finite $\mathbb{G}$-dynamical von Neumann algebras. We prove that the $\mathbb{G}$-inclusion $A\subseteq B$ is strongly equivariantly amenable if and…

We study amenability of definable and topological groups. Among our main technical tools is an elaboration on and strengthening of the Massicot-Wagner version of the stabilizer theorem, and some results around measures. As an application we…

In this paper, we characterize the amenablity of locally compact groups in terms of the properties of the Orlicz Figa-Talamanca Herz algebras.

We show that if $G$ is an amenable group and $A\subseteq G$ has positive upper Banach density, then there is an identity neighborhood $B$ in the Bohr topology on $G$ that is almost contained in $AA^{-1}$ in the sense that $B\backslash…

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…

Inner amenability is a bridge between amenability of an object and amenability of its operator algebras. It is an open problem of Ananantharman-Delaroche to decide whether all \'etale groupoids are inner amenable. Approximate lattices and…

In this paper, we introduce a homological notion of left $\phi$-biprojectivity for Banach algebras, where $\phi$ is a non-zero multiplicative linear functional. We show that for a locally compact group $G$, the Segal algebra $S(G)$ is left…

Let G be a locally compact abelian group, $\omega:G\to (0,\infty)$ be a weight, and ($\Phi$,$\Psi$) be a complementary pair of strictly increasing continuous Young functions. We show that for the weighted Orlicz algebra $L^\Phi_\omega(G)$,…

A topological group $G$ is extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. Using the concentration of measure techniques developed by Gromov and Milman, we prove that the group of automorphisms of…

We prove that, if a discrete group $G$ is not inner amenable, then the unit group of the ring of operators affiliated with the group von Neumann algebra of $G$ is non-amenable with respect to the topology generated by its rank metric. This…

By relating notions from quantum harmonic analysis and band-dominated operator theory, we prove that over any locally compact abelian group $G$, the operator algebra $\mathcal C_1$ from quantum harmonic analysis agrees with the intersection…

A locally compact group $G$ is amenable if and only if it has Reiter's property $(P_p)$ for $p=1$ or, equivalently, all $p \in [1,\infty)$, i.e., there is a net $(m_\alpha)_\alpha$ of non-negative norm one functions in $L^p(G)$ such that…

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…

For a locally compact group $G$, let $A(G)$ be its Fourier algebra, let $M_{cb}A(G)$ denote the completely bounded multipliers of $A(G)$, and let $A_{Mcb}(G)$ stand for the closure of $A(G)$ in $M_{cb}A(G)$. We characterize the norm one…

We study the Fourier--Stieltjes algebra of Roelcke precompact, non-archimedean, Polish groups and give a model-theoretic description of the Hilbert compactification of these groups. We characterize the family of such groups whose…

For a locally compact group $G$ and $1 < p < \infty,$ let $B_p(G)$ denote the $p$-analog of the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G) \, (\text{or} \, B_2(G))$. Let $r: B_p(G) \to B_p(H)$ be the restriction map given by $r(u) = u|_H$ for any…

Inspired by Kalton and Wood's work on group algebras, we describe almost completely contractive algebra homomorphisms from Fourier algebras into Fourier-Stieltjes algebras (endowed with their canonical operator space structure). We also…

A common fixed point property for semigroups is applied to show that the group algebra $L^1(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ is $2m$-weakly amenable for each integer $m\geq 1$.

We give the first examples of (non-amenable group) amenable actions on stably finite simple C*-algebras. More precisely, we give such actions for any countable group in an explicit way. The main ingredients of our construction are the full…
