Let G be a locally compact group and let $A_\Phi(G)$ be the Orlicz-version of the Fig\`{a}-Talamanca Herz algebra of G associated with a Young function $\Phi.$ We show that if $A_\Phi(G)$ is Arens regular, then $G$ is discrete. We further…

In this article we investigate when a homogeneous ideal in a graded ring is normal, that is, when all positive powers of the ideal are integrally closed. We are particularly interested in homogeneous ideals in an N-graded ring generated by…

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra with the second dual $A^{**}$. If $A$ has a bounded approximate identity $(=BAI)$, then $A^{**}$ is unital if and only if $A^{**}$ has a $weak^* bounded approximate $$identity(=W^*BAI)$. If $A$ is Arens regular…

Let $\mathbb F$ be an algebraically closed field, $G$ be an abelian group, and let $A$ and $B$ be arbitrary finite-dimensional $G$-graded simple algebras over $\mathbb F$. We prove that $A$ and $B$ are isomorphic if, and only if, they…

The problem of computing the dimension of a left/right ideal in a group algebra F[G] of a finite group G over a field F is considered. The ideal dimension is related to the rank of a matrix originating from a regular left/right…

We say that an inclusion of an algebra $A$ into a $C^*$-algebra $B$ has the ideal separation property if closed ideals in $B$ can be recovered by their intersection with $A$. Such inclusions have attractive properties from the point of view…

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $G$ be a finite group. Consider $G$-graded simple algebras $A$ which are finite dimensional and $e$-central over $F$, i.e. $Z(A)_{e} := Z(A)\cap A_{e} = F$. For any…

Let A and B be finite dimensional simple real algebras with division gradings by an abelian group G. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the coincidence of the graded identities of A and B. We also prove that every…

There has arisen in recent years a substantial theory of "multiplier ideals'' in commutative rings. These are integrally closed ideals with properties that lend themselves to highly interesting applications. But how special are they among…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an excellent normal domain of dimension two. We define an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal $I$ to be a $p_g$-ideal if the Rees algebra $A[It]$ is a Cohen-Macaulay normal domain. When $A$ contains an algebraically…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an excellent normal domain of dimension two containing a field $k \cong A/\mathfrak{m}$. An $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal $I$ to be a $p_g$-ideal if the Rees algebra $A[It]$ is a Cohen-Macaulay normal domain. If $k$…

It is well known that a dense subgroup $G$ of the complex unitary group $U(d)$ cannot be amenable as a discrete group when $d>1$. When $d$ is large enough we give quantitative versions of this phenomenon in connection with certain estimates…

For a semisimple algebraic group $G$ of adjoint type with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ over the complex numbers, we establish a bijection between the set of closed orbits of the group $G \ltimes \mathfrak g^{\ast}$ acting on the variety of…

We give an 'arithmetic regularity lemma' for groups definable in finite fields, analogous to Tao's 'algebraic regularity lemma' for graphs definable in finite fields. More specifically, we show that, for any $M>0$, any finite field…

Let A,B be finite dimensional G-graded algebras over an algebraically closed field K with char(K)=0, where G is an abelian group, and let Id_G(A) be the set of graded identities of A (res. Id_G(B)). We show that if A,B are G-simple then…

Let $B \subseteq A$ be an inclusion of C$^*$-algebras. We study the relationship between the regular ideals of $B$ and regular ideals of $A$. We show that if $B \subseteq A$ is a regular C$^*$-inclusion and there is a faithful invariant…

We investigate when the Rees algebra of an integrally closed $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal in a regular local ring is a Cohen-Macaulay normal domain. While this property always holds in dimension two, it fails in general in higher…

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…

Let $A$ be an algebra over any field. We do not assume that $A$ has an identity. The \emph{multiplier algebra} $M(A)$ is a unital algebra associated to $A$. If we require the product in $A$ to be non-degenerate (as a bilinear form), the…

We give a survey of the known connections between regularity conditions and amenability conditions in the setting of uniform algebras. For a uniform algebra $A$ we consider the set, $A_{lc}$, of functions in $A$ which are locally constant…
