We investigate possible preduals of the measure algebra $M(G)$ of a locally compact group and the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of a separable compact group. Both of these algebras are canonically dual spaces and the canonical preduals make the…

We show that every free semigroup algebras has a (strongly) unique Banach space predual. We also provide a new simpler proof that a weak*-closed unital operator operator algebra containing a weak* dense subalgebra of compact operators has a…

The Banach space $\ell_1(\Z)$ admits many non-isomorphic preduals, for example, $C(K)$ for any compact countable space $K$, along with many more exotic Banach spaces. In this paper, we impose an extra condition: the predual must make the…

Suppose $\mathcal{G}$ is a second-countable locally compact Hausdorff \'{e}tale groupoid, $G$ is a discrete group containing a unital subsemigroup $P$, and $c:\mathcal{G}\rightarrow G$ is a continuous cocycle. We derive conditions on the…

The equivariant version of semiprojectivity was recently introduced by the first author. We study properties of this notion, in particular its relation to ordinary semiprojectivity of the crossed product and of the algebra itself. We show…

We study (weakly) continuous convolution semigroups of probability measures on a Lie group G or a homogeneous space G/K, where K is a compact subgroup. We show that such a convolution semigroup is the convolution product of its initial…

Let $M$, $N$, $R$ be $W^{*}$--algebras, with $R$ unitally embedded in both $M$ and $N$. by using Reduction Theory, we extend the previous description of the $W^{*}$--tensor product $M\bar\otimes_{R}N$ over the common $W^{*}$--subalgebra $R$…

In this article we observe that a locally compact group $G$ is completely determined by the algebraic properties of its Feichtinger's Segal algebra $S_0(G).$ Let $G$ and $H$ be locally compact groups. Then any linear (not necessarily…

If the free algebra F on one generator in a variety V of algebras (in the sense of universal algebra) has a subalgebra free on two generators, must it also have a subalgebra free on three generators? In general, no; but yes if F generates…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group, and consider the weakly-almost periodic functionals on $M(G)$, the measure algebra of $G$, denoted by $\wap(M(G))$. This is a C$^*$-subalgebra of the commutative C$^*$-algebra $M(G)^*$, and so has…

Semiuniform semigroups provide a natural setting for the convolution of generalized finite measures on semigroups. A semiuniform semigroup is said to be ambitable if each uniformly bounded uniformly equicontinuous set of functions on the…

Let $H$ be a subgroup of $\text{Sym}_n$, the symmetric group of degree $n$. For a fixed integer $l \geq 2$, the group $G$ presented with generators $x_1, x_2, \ldots ,x_n$ and with relations $x_{i_1}x_{i_2}\cdots x_{i_l} =x_{\sigma (i_1)}…

Building on an old result of Duncan and Namioka, we show that the ${\ell}^1$-convolution algebra of a semilattice $S$ is biflat precisely when $S$ is uniformly locally finite. The proof shows in passing that for such $S$ the convolution…

Let G be a group and let A be the algebra of complex functions on G with finite support. The product in G gives rise to a coproduct on A making it a multiplier Hopf algebra. In fact, because there exist integrals, we get an algebraic…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group. Consider the C$^*$-algebra $C_0(G)$ of continuous complex functions on $G$, tending to 0 at infinity. The product in $G$ gives rise to a coproduct $\Delta_G$ on the C$^*$-algebra $C_0(G)$. A locally…

In this paper, among other things, we study those conditions under which the weighted semigroup algebra $\ell^1(S,\omega)$ is a dual Banach algebra with respect to predual $c_0(S)$. Some useful examples, illustrating the results, are also…

Let $S$ be a subsemigroup of a second countable locally compact group $G$, such that $S^{-1}S=G$. We consider the $C^*$-algebra $C^*_\delta(S)$ generated by the operators of translation by all elements of $S$ in $L^2(S)$. We show that this…

For any topological group $G$ the dual object $\hat G$ is defined as the set of equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of $G$ equipped with the Fell topology. If $G$ is compact, $\hat G$ is discrete, and we investigate…

Let ${\mathcal G}$ be a locally compact group. In continuation of our studies on the first and second duals of measure algebras by the use of the theory of generalised functions, here we study the C$^*$-subalgebra $GL_0({\mathcal G})$ of…

A common fixed point property for semigroups is applied to show that the group algebra $L^1(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ is $2m$-weakly amenable for each integer $m\geq 1$.
