Dense subsets of Banach $\ast$-algebras

amenability of banach algebras

chapters 1 and 2 establish the basic theory of amenability of topological groups and amenability of banach algebras. also we prove that. if g is a topological group, then r (wluc (g)) (resp. r (luc (g))) if and only if there exists a mean m on wluc (g) (resp. luc (g)) such that for every wluc (g) (resp. every luc (g)) and every element d of a dense subset d od g, m (r)m (f) holds. chapter 3 inv...

Banach Function Algebras with Dense Invertible Group

In [9], Dawson and the second author asked whether or not a Banach function algebra with dense invertible group can have a proper Shilov boundary. We give an example of a uniform algebra showing that this can happen, and investigate the properties of such algebras. We make some remarks on the topological stable rank of commutative, unital Banach algebras. In particular, we prove that tsr(A) ≥ t...

Dense Morphisms in Commutative Banach Algebras

Using a new notion of stability we compute exactly the stable rank of the polydisc algebra, extend Oka's extension theorem to «-tuples of functions without common zeros and give an estimation for a question raised by Swan concerning the stable rank of a dense subalgebra of a given Banach algebra. 0. Introduction. The stable rank of a ring A [2] is an algebraic invariant of A which turns out to ...

varphi-amenability of Banach algebras

Let $A$ be an arbitrary Banach algebra and $varphi$ a homomorphism from $A$ onto $Bbb C$. Our first purpose in this paper is to give some equivalent conditions under which guarantees a $varphi$-mean of norm one. Then we find some conditions under which there exists a $varphi$-mean in the weak$^*$ cluster of ${ain A; |a|=varphi(a)=1}$ in $A^{**}$.
