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…

In this paper we study unimodular amenable groups. The first part is devoted to results on the existence of uniform families of epsilon-quasi tilings for these groups. In this context, constructions of Ornstein and Weiss are extended by…

We investigate the higher-dimensional amenability of tensor products $\A \ptp \B$ of Banach algebras $\A$ and $\B$. We prove that the weak bidimension $db_w$ of the tensor product $\A \ptp \B$ of Banach algebras $\A$ and $\B$ with bounded…

Let A be a locally m-convex Fr\'echet algebra. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a cyclic Fr\'echet A-module X=A_+/I to be strictly flat, generalizing thereby a criterion of Helemskii and Sheinberg. To this end, we introduce…

We study the relation between module and Hochschild cohomology groups of Banach algebras with a compatible module structure. More precisely, we show that for every commutative Banach $ \mathcal{A} $-$ \mathfrak{A}$-bimodule $ X $ and every…

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…

Consider an inclusion of diffuse von Neumann algebras A c M . We say that A c M has the absorbing amenability property if for any diffuse subalgebra B c A and any amenable intermediate algebra B c D c M we have that D is contained in A. We…

Let T be a homomorphism from a Banach algebra B to a Banach algebra A.The Cartesian product space A * B with T-Lau multiplication and l^1-norm becomes a new Banach algebra A *_T B. We investigate the notions such as approximate amenability,…

We review and analyse techniques from the literature for extending a normed algebra, A to a normed algebra, B, so that B has interesting or desirable properties which A may lack. For example, B might include roots of monic polynomials over…

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…

Given a separable Banach space $E$, we construct an extremely non-complex Banach space (i.e. a space satisfying that $\|Id + T^2\|=1+\|T^2\|$ for every bounded linear operator $T$ on it) whose dual contains $E^*$ as an $L$-summand. We also…

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 for any infinite, maximal amenable subgroup $H$ in a hyperbolic group $G$, the von Neumann subalgebra $LH$ is maximal amenable inside $LG$. It provides many new, explicit examples of maximal amenable subalgebras in II$_1$…

Different notions of amenability on hypergroups and their relations are studied. Developing Leptin's theorem for discrete hypergroups, we characterize the existence of a bounded approximate identity for hypergroup Fourier algebras. We study…

In this article we analyze the notions of amenability and paradoxical decomposition from an algebraic perspective. We consider this dichotomy for locally finite extended metric spaces and for general algebras over commutative fields. In the…

We investigate recent uniqueness theorems for reduced $C^*$-algebras of Hausdorff \'{e}tale groupoids in the context of inverse semigroups. In many cases the distinguished subalgebra is closely related to the structure of the inverse…

We construct a singly generated subalgebra of ${\mathcal K}({\mathcal H})$ which is non-amenable, yet is boundedly approximately contractible. The example embeds into a homogeneous von Neumann algebra. We also observe that there are singly…

We propose a new definition for a Banach algebra $\mathfrak{A}$ to be extremely non-Arens regular, namely that the quotient $\mathfrak{A}^\ast/\mathscr{WAP}(\mathfrak{A})$ of $\mathfrak{A}^\ast$ with the space of its weakly almost periodic…

Following Granirer, a Banach algebra A is extremely non-Arens regular when the quotient space A*/WAP(A) contains a closed linear subspace which has A* as a continuous linear image. We prove that the group algebra L^1(G) of any infinite…

Let $G$ be an amenable group. We define and study an algebra $\mathcal{A}_{sn}(G)$, which is related to invariant means on the subnormal subgroups of $G$. For a just infinite amenable group $G$, we show that $\mathcal{A}_{sn}(G)$ is…
