Associated to a nonzero homomorphism $\varphi$ of a Banach algebra $A$, we regard special functionals, say $m_\varphi$, on certain subspaces of $A^\ast$ which provide equivalent statements to the existence of a bounded right approximate…

Following a result of Hatori, Miura and Tagaki ([4]) we give here a spectral characterization of an isomorphism from a $C^\star$-algebra onto a Banach algebra. We then use this result to show that a $C^\star$-algebra $A$ is isomorphic to a…

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.

In this paper, we countinue our work in \cite{11}. We show that $L^{1}(G,w)$ is $\phi_{0}$-biprojective if and only if $G$ is compact, where $\phi_{0}$ is the augmentation character. We introduce the notions of character Johnson amenability…

Let $A$ be a commutative Banach algebra and $X$ be a compact space. The class of Banach $A$-valued function algebras on $X$ consists of subalgebras of $C(X,A)$ with certain properties. We introduce the notion of $A$-characters on an…
