We give an example of a non-compact, locally compact group $G$ such that its Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ is operator amenable. Furthermore, we characterize those $G$ for which $A^*(G)$ - the spine of $B(G)$ as introduced by M. Ilie and…

We show that the amenability of a locally compact group $G$ is equivalent to a factorization property of $VN(G)$ which is given by $ VN(G) = <VN(G)^*VN(G)>$. This answer partially two problems proposed by Z. Hu and M. Neufang in their…

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…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a pseudo weakly compact operator of order $ p $ between Banach spaces. Also we study the notion of $ p $-Dunford-Pettis relatively compact property which is in "general" weaker than the…

We study order-to-weak continuous operators from an ordered Banach space to a normed space. It is proved that under rather mild conditions every order-to-weak continuous operator is bounded.

We consider a variant of the notion of Morita equivalence appropriate to weak* closed algebras of Hilbert space operators, which we call {\em weak Morita equivalence}. We obtain new variants, appropriate to the dual algebra setting, of the…

Let $G$ and $H$ be locally compact, second countable groups. Assume that $G$ acts in a measure class preserving way on a standard probability space $(X,\mu)$ such that $L^\infty(X,\mu)$ has an invariant mean and that there is a Borel…

We study various operator homological properties of the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$. Establishing the converse of two results of Ruan and Xu, we show that $A(G)$ is relatively operator 1-projective if and only if…

Let $X^*$ denote a Banach space with a subsymmetric weak$^*$ Schauder basis satisfying condition~\eqref{eq:condition-c}. We show that for any operator $T : X^*\to X^*$, either $T(X^*)$ or $(I-T)(X^*)$ contains a subspace that is isomorphic…

We show that for any separable reflexive Banach space $X$ and a large class of Banach spaces $E$, including those with a subsymmetric shrinking basis but also all spaces $L_p$ for $1\leq p \leq \infty$, every bounded linear map ${\mathcal…

Let $A$ be a complex, commutative unital Banach algebra. We introduce two notions of exponential reducibility of Banach algebra tuples and present an analogue to the Corach-Su\'arez result on the connection between reducibility in $A$ and…

For an operator ideal $\mathcal A$, we study the composition operator ideals ${\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$, ${\mathcal K}\circ{\mathcal A}$ and ${\mathcal K}\circ{\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$, where $\mathcal K$ is the ideal of compact…

It is a longstanding problem whether every contractible Banach algebra is necessarily finite-dimensional. In this note, we confirm this for Banach algebras acting on Banach spaces with the uniform approximation property. This generalizes a…

We give a sufficient condition for a pair of Banach spaces $(X,Y)$ to have the following property: whenever $W_1 \subseteq X$ and $W_2 \subseteq Y$ are sets such that $\{x\otimes y: \, x\in W_1, \, y\in W_2\}$ is weakly precompact in the…

We define two different weakenings of coarse amenability (also known as Yu's property A), namely fibred coarse amenability and coarse amenability at infinity. These two properties allow us to prove that a residually finite group is coarsely…

We give a constructive proof of the factorization theorem for the classical Hardy space in terms of fractional integral operator. Moreover, the result is extended to the multilinear case and weighted case. As an application, we obtain the…

We show that every subsymmetric Schauder basis $(e_j)$ of a Banach space $X$ has the factorization property, i.e. $I_X$ factors through every bounded operator $T\colon X\to X$ with a $\delta$-large diagonal (that is $\inf_j |\langle Te_j,…

In this paper, we study multiplicative weak convergence in Banach f-algebra and multiplicative weak* convergence in its dual.

Consider two continuous linear operators $T\colon X_1(\mu)\to Y_1(\nu)$ and $S\colon X_2(\mu)\to Y_2(\nu)$ between Banach function spaces related to different $\sigma$-finite measures $\mu$ and $\nu$. We characterize by means of weighted…

Let (e_i) be a dictionary for a separable Banach space X. We consider the problem of approximation by linear combinations of dictionary elements with quantized coefficients drawn usually from a `finite alphabet'. We investigate several…
