We generalise the definition of a group algebra so that it makes sense for non-locally compact topological groups, in particular, we require that the representation theory of the group algebra is isomorphic (in the sense of Gelfand-Raikov)…

For a Banach algebra $A$ with a bounded approximate identity, we investigate the $A$-module homomorphisms of certain introverted subspaces of $A^*$, and show that all $A$-module homomorphisms of $A^*$ are normal if and only if $A$ is an…

In this paper, we study the weak amenability of weighted measure algebras and prove that $M(G, \omega)$ is weakly amenable if and only if $G$ is discrete and every bounded quasi-additive function is inner. We also study the weak amenability…

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…

A long standing problem in abstract harmonic analysis concerns the strong Arens irregularity (sAir, for short) of the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of a locally compact group $G.$ The groups for which $A(G)$ is known to be sAir are all amenable.…

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $\phi\in \Delta(A)\cup\{0\}$. We say that $A$ is $\Delta$-weak $\phi$-amenable if there exists an $m\in A^{**}$ such that $m(\phi)=0$ and $m(\psi.a)=\psi(a)$ for each $\psi\in \Delta(A)$ and $a\in…

Let $\mathcal A$ be a Banach algebra. Using the concept of module biflatness, we show that the module amenability of the second dual $\mathcal A^{**}$ (with the first Arens product) necessitates the module amenability of $\mathcal A$. We…

We investigate if, for a locally compact group $G$, the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ is biflat in the sense of quantized Banach homology. A central role in our investigation is played by the notion of an approximate indicator of a closed subgroup…

For a commutative semi-simple Banach algebra ${A}$ which is an ideal in its second dual we give a necessary and sufficient condition for an essential abstract Segal algebra in ${A}$ to be a BSE-algebra. We show that a large class of…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group, and let $B(G)$ denote its Fourier--Stieltjes algebra. We show that $B(G)$ is Connes-amenable if and only if $G$ is almost abelian.

In this paper we study the Connes amenability of the second dual of Arens regular Banach algebras. Of course we provide a partial answer to the question posed by Volker Runde. Also we fined the necessary and sufficient conditions for the…

Let G be a locally compact group, A(G) its Fourier algebra and L1(G) the space of Haar integrable functions on G. We study the Segal algebra SA(G)=A(G)\cap L1(G) in A(G). It admits an operator space structure which makes it a completely…

Weak amenability of a weighted group algebra, or a Beurling algebra, is a long-standing open problem. The commutative case has been extensively investigated and fully characterized. We study the non-commutative case. Given a weight function…

In this paper, we introduce a new notion of amenability, $\sigma-$Connes ideal, say, for a large class of dual Banach algebras. We extend the concept of ideal Connes amenability and study their properties. Let $\sigma$ be a…

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…

We introduce two notions of amenability for a Banach algebra $\cal A$. Let $n\in \Bbb N$ and let $I$ be a closed two-sided ideal in $\cal A$, $\cal A$ is $n-I-$weakly amenable if the first cohomology group of $\cal A$ with coefficients in…

The Banach space $E$ has the weakly compact approximation property (W.A.P. for short) if there is a constant $C < \infty$ so that for any weakly compact set $D \subset E$ and $\epsilon > 0$ there is a weakly compact operator $V: E \to E$…

The main results of the paper: {\bf (1)} The dual Banach space $X^*$ contains a linear subspace $A\subset X^*$ such that the set $A^{(1)}$ of all limits of weak$^*$ convergent bounded nets in $A$ is a proper norm-dense subset of $X^*$ if…

Let $ H $ be a compact subgroup of a locally compact group $G$. In this paper we define a convolution on $ M(G/H) $, the space of all complex bounded Radon measures on the homogeneous space G/H. Then we prove that the measure space $ M(G/H,…
