An algebra $A$ is said to be directly finite if each left invertible element in the (conditional) unitization of $A$ is right invertible. We show that the reduced group ${\rm C}^\ast$-algebra of a unimodular group is directly finite,…

We investigate topologically left Noetherian Banach algebras. We show that if $G$ is a compact group, then $L^{\, 1}(G)$ is topologically left Noetherian if and only if $G$ is metrisable. We prove that, given a Banach space $E$ such that…

For a locally compact Abelian group $G$ and a continuous weight function $\omega$ on $G$ we show that the Beurling algebra $L^1(G, \omega)$ is weakly amenable if and only if there is no nontrivial continuous group homomorphism $\phi$: $G\to…

We answer a question of Downey and Kurtz on left-orderable groups by showing that there is a computable left-orderable group which is not classically isomorphic to a computable group with a computable left-order.

It is a longstanding problem whether every contractible Banach algebra is necessarily finite-dimensional. In this note, we confirm this for Banach algebras acting on Banach spaces with the uniform approximation property. This generalizes a…

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a Lie group with solvable connected component and finitely-generated component group and $\alpha\in H^2(\mathbb{G},\mathbb{S}^1)$ a cohomology class. We prove that if $(\mathbb{G},\alpha)$ is of type I then the same…

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…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the left projectivity and biprojectivity of Banach algebras defined by locally trivial continuous fields of Banach algebras. We identify projective $C^*$-algebras $\A$ defined by locally…

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…

In this paper, for a Banach algebra A, we introduced the new notions of approximately left $\phi$-biprojective and approximately left character biprojective, where $\phi$ is a non-zero multiplicative linear functional on A. We show that for…

We show that for some classes of groups $G$, the homotopy fiber $E_{\mathrm{com}} G$ of the inclusion of the classifying space for commutativity $E_{\mathrm{com}} G$ into the classifying space $BG$, is contractible if and only if $G$ is…

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…

We give for a compact group G, a full characterisation of when its Fourier algebra A(G) is weakly amenable: when the connected component of the identity G_e is abelian. This condition is also equivalent to the hyper-Tauberian property for…

A locally compact contraction group is a pair (G,f) where G is a locally compact group and f an automorphism of G which is contractive in the sense that the forward orbit under f of each g in G converges to the neutral element e, as n tends…

We revisit G. Elek's notion of amenable representation type, where algebras are characterised by every indecomposable module being "almost" the direct sum of modules of bounded dimension. We give a new proof of his result that string…

We prove that if $\frak{g}^{\prime}$ is a contraction of a Lie algebra $\frak{g}$ then the number of functionally independent invariants of $\frak{g}^{\prime}$ is at least that of $\frak{g}$. This allows to determine explicitly the number…

In this paper, we study the notion of approximately bi at Banach algebras for second dual Banach algebras and semigroup algebras. We show that for a locally compact group G, if S(G)?? is approximately bi at, then G is amenable group. Also…

In this paper we first show that for a locally compact amenable group $G$, every proper abstract Segal algebra of the Fourier algebra on $G$ is not approximately amenable; consequently, every proper Segal algebra on a locally compact…

We let the central Fourier algebra, ZA(G), be the subalgebra of functions u in the Fourier algebra A(G) of a compact group, for which u(xyx^{-1})=u(y) for all x,y in G. We show that this algebra admits bounded point derivations whenever G…

In this paper, we study the notion of $\phi$-biflatness, $\phi$-biprojectivity, approximate biprojectivity and Johnson pseudo-contractibility for a new class of Banach algebras. Using this class of Banach algebras we give some examples…
