Recently Blecher and Kashyap have generalized the notion of W* modules over von Neumann algebras to the setting where the operator algebras are \sigma- weakly closed algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. They call these modules weak*…

It is shown that the collection of weakly almost periodic functionals on the convolution algebra of a commutative Hopf von Neumann algebra is a C$^*$-algebra. This implies that the weakly almost periodic functionals on $M(G)$, the measure…

This paper is motivated primarily by the question of when the maximal and reduced crossed products of a $G$-$C^*$-algebra agree (particularly inspired by results of Matsumura and Suzuki), and the relationships with various notions of…

Extending M.\ Daws' definition of ultra-amenable Banach algebras, we introduce the notion of operator ultra-amenability for completely contractive Banach algebras. For a locally compact group $G$, we show that the operator ultra-amenability…

For a locally compact group $G$, let $A^n(G)$ denote the multidimensional Fourier algebra given by $ \otimes_{n}^{eh} A(G).$ This work explores the approximation identity and operator amenability of the algebra $A^n(G)$. Further, we study…

In a previous paper we generalized the theory of W*-modules to the setting of modules over nonselfadjoint dual operator algebras, obtaining the class of weak*-rigged modules. At that time we promised a forthcoming paper devoted to other…

For an inverse semigroup S with the set of idempotents E and a minimal idempotent, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the Fourier algebra A(S) to be module amenable, module character amenable, module (operator) biflat, or…

The main purpose of this paper is to unify the theory of actions of Hopf algebras, weak Hopf algebras and multiplier Hopf algebras to one of actions of weak multiplier Hopf algebras introduced by A. Van Daele and S. H. Wang. Using such…

In this article we study analogues of the weak expectation property of discrete group C*-algebras and their crossed products, in the discrete quantum group setting, i.e., discrete quantum group C*-algebras and crossed products of…

Let $R$ be an associative ring and $e,f$ idempotent elements of $R$. In this paper we introduce the notion of $(e,f)$-invertibility for an element of $R$ and use it to define inner actions of weak Hopf algebras. Given a weak Hopf algebra…

Column and row operator spaces - which we denote by COL and ROW, respectively - over arbitrary Banach spaces were introduced by the first-named author; for Hilbert spaces, these definitions coincide with the usual ones. Given a locally…

In this article we define a special class of weak expectations for a representation of a separable unital C*-algebra, called decomposable weak expectation. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for such kind of weak expectations to…

We show that for $n\geq 2$ the $n-$weak amenability of the second dual $\A^{**}$ of a Banach algebra $\A$ implies that of $\A$. We also provide a positive answer for the case $n=1,$ which sharpens some older results. Our method of proof…

In this work, given a unital Banach algebra $\A$ and $a\in \A$ such that $a$ has a Moore-Penrose inverse $a^\dagger$, it will be characterized when $aa^\dagger-a^\dagger a$ is invertible. A particular subset of this class of objects will…

We define a Banach algebra A to be dual if $A = (A_\ast)^\ast$ for a closed submodule $A_\ast$ of $A^\ast$. The class of dual Banach algebras includes all $W^\ast$-algebras, but also all algebras M(G) for locally compact groups G, all…

We study the order theoretic properties of relative weak injectivity, w.r.i., in short, in the category of C*-algebras. We prove that Arveson's extension theorem, with additional order assumption on the morphisms, is tightly connected with…

With every locally compact group $G$, one can associate several interesting bi-invariant subspaces $X(G)$ of the weakly almost periodic functions $\mathrm{WAP}(G)$ on $G$, each of which captures parts of the representation theory of $G$.…

We call a bounded linear operator acting between Banach spaces weakly compactly generated ($\mathsf{WCG}$ for short) if its range is contained in a weakly compactly generated subspace of its codomain. This notion simultaneously generalises…

We initiate the study of a new notion of duality defined with respect to the module Haagerup tensor product. This notion not only recovers the standard operator space dual for Hilbert $C^*$-modules, it also captures quantum group duality in…

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…
