We prove that the Lipschitz-free space over a Banach space $X$ of density $\kappa$, denoted by $\mathcal{F}(X)$, is linearly isomorphic to its $\ell_1$-sum $\left(\bigoplus_{\kappa}\mathcal{F}(X)\right)_{\ell_1}$. This provides an extension…

A finite subset $A$ of an abelian group $G$ is said to be zero-free if the identity element of $G$ cannot be written as a sum of distinct elements from $A$. In this article we study the structure of zero-free subsets of $Z/pZ$ the…

In the present note we introduce tame functionals on Banach algebras. A functional $f \in A^*$ on a Banach algebra $A$ is tame if the naturally defined linear operator $A \to A^*, a \mapsto f \cdot a$ factors through Rosenthal Banach spaces…

In this note we consider a $p$-isometrisability property of discrete groups. If $p=2$ this property is equivalent to unitarisability. We prove that any group containing a non-abelian free subgroup is not $p$-isometrisable for any $p\in (1,…

The paper studies the free locally convex space $L(X)$ over a Tychonoff space $X$. Since for infinite $X$ the space $L(X)$ is never metrizable (even not Fr\'echet-Urysohn), a possible applicable generalized metric property for $L(X)$ is…

Let $A_p(G)$ denote the Figa-Talamanca-Herz Banach Algebra of the locally compact group $G$, thus $A_2(G)$ is the Fourier Algebra of $G$. If $G$ is commutative then $A_2(G)=L^1(\hat{G}){\hat{}}$. Let $A^r_p(G)=A_p\cap L^r(G)$ with norm…

Let $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q}$ and $\beta\in \mathbb{R}$ be given. Suppose that $a_1,\ldots,a_s$ are distinct positive integers that do not contain a reduced residue system modulo $p^2$ for any prime $p$. We prove that there…

We show that if a countable group $G$ is the free product of infinite abelian groups, then for every free, probability-measure-preserving (p.m.p.) action of $G$, its orbit equivalence class is weakly dense in the space of p.m.p. actions of…

We consider the action of a real linear algebraic group $G$ on a smooth, real affine algebraic variety $M\subset \R^n$, and study the corresponding left regular $G$-representation on the Banach space $C_0(M)$ of continuous, complex valued…

We construct for each $0<p\le 1$ an infinite collection of subspaces of $\ell_p$ that extend the example from [J. Lindenstrauss, On a certain subspace of $\ell_{1}$, Bull. Acad. Polon. Sci. S\'er. Sci. Math. Astronom. Phys. 12 (1964),…

Let $G$ be a finite non abelian group. The centralizer graph of $G$ is a simple undirected graph $\Gamma_{cent}(G)$, whose vertex set consists of proper centralizers of $G$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their cardinalities…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $A$ be a commutative semisimple Banach algebra over the scalar field $\mathbb{C}$. The correlation between different types of $BSE$- Banach algebras $A$, and the Banach algebras $L^{1}(G, A)$ are…

We continue the investigation of notions of approximate amenability that were introduced in work of the second and third authors. It is shown that every boundedly approximately contractible Banach algebra has a bounded approximate identity.…

We investigate when discrete, amenable groups have $C^*$-algebras of real rank zero. While it is known that this happens when the group is locally finite, the converse in an open problem. We show that if $C^*(G)$ has real rank zero, then…

Let G be a discrete, torsion free group with a finite dimensional classifying space BG. We show that the existence of a gamma-element for such G is a metric, that is, coarse, invariant of G. We also obtain results for groups with torsion.…

We give a brief survey of the results on coarse or uniform embeddings of Banach spaces into $c_0(\Ga)$ and the point character of Banach spaces. In the process we prove several new results in this direction (for example we determine the…

In this paper we describe all group gradings by a finite abelian group G of any Lie algebra L of the type "A" over algebraically closed field F of characteristic zero.

Suppose that $B$ is a $G$-Banach algebra over $\mathbb{F} = \mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, $X$ is a finite dimensional compact metric space, $\zeta : P \to X$ is a standard principal $G$-bundle, and $A_\zeta = \Gamma (X, P \times_G B)$ is the…

$C^*$-algebras, group algebras, and the algebra $\mathcal{A}(X)$ of approximable operators on a Banach space $X$ having the bounded approximation property are known to be zero product determined. We are interested in giving a quantitative…

Let $G$ be a compact abelian group, let $\mu$ be the corresponding Haar measure, and let $\hat G$ be the Pontryagin dual of $G$. Further, let $C_p$ denote the Schatten class of operators on some separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space,…
