We investigate the higher-dimensional amenability of tensor products A ⊗̂ B of Banach algebras A and B. We prove that the weak bidimension dbw of the tensor product A⊗̂B of Banach algebras A and B with bounded approximate identities satisfies dbwA ⊗̂ B = dbwA+ dbwB. We show that it cannot be extended to arbitrary Banach algebras. For example, for a biflat Banach algebra A which has a left or right...

We present a variety of open questions in automatic continuity theory, concentrating on homomorphisms between Banach algebras and derivations from a Banach algebra A into a Banach A-bimodule.

An extension of the Helson-Edwards theorem for the group algebras to Banach modules over commutative Banach algebras is given. This extension can be viewed as a generalization of Liu-Rooij-Wang's result for Banach modules over the group algebras.

assume that $a$‎, ‎$b$ are banach algebras and that $m:atimes brightarrow b$‎, ‎$m^prime:atimes arightarrow b$ are bounded bilinear mappings‎. ‎we study the relationships between arens regularity of $m$‎, ‎$m^prime$ and the banach algebras $a$‎, ‎$b$‎. ‎for a banach $a‎$‎-bimodule $b$‎, ‎we show that $b$ factors with respect to $a$ if and only if $b^{**}$ is unital as an $a^{**}‎$‎-module‎. ‎le...

 We study the notion of bounded approximate Connes-amenability for‎ ‎dual Banach algebras and characterize this type of algebras in terms‎ ‎of approximate diagonals‎. ‎We show that bounded approximate‎ ‎Connes-amenability of dual Banach algebras forces them to be unital‎. ‎For a separable dual Banach algebra‎, ‎we prove that bounded‎ ‎approximate Connes-amenability implies sequential approximat...

We show that if X is a separable Banach space (or more generally a Banach with an infinite-dimensional separable quotient) then there is a continuous mapping f : X → X such that the autonomous differential equation x′ = f(x) has no solution at any point. In order to put our results into context, let us start by formulating the classical theorem of Peano. Theorem 1. (Peano) Let X = R, f : R×X → ...

We prove that a homogeneous Banach space B on the unit circle T can be embedded as a closed subspace of a dual space ΞB contained in the space of bounded Borel measures on T in such a way that the map B → ΞB defines a bijective correspondence between the class of homogeneous Banach spaces on T and the class of prehomogeneous Banach spaces on T. We apply our results to show that the algebra of a...

Unless we say otherwise, every vector space we talk about is taken to be over C. A Banach algebra is a Banach space A that is also an algebra satisfying ‖AB‖ ≤ ‖A‖ ‖B‖ for A,B ∈ A. We say that A is unital if there is a nonzero element I ∈ A such that AI = A and IA = A for all A ∈ A, called a identity element. If X is a Banach space, let B(X) denote the set of bounded linear operators X → X, and...

We study Banach C̃-algebras, i.e., complete ultra-pseudo-normed algebras over the ring C̃ of Colombeau generalized complex numbers. We develop a spectral theory in such algebras. We show by explicit examples that important parts of classical Banach algebra theory do not hold for general Banach C̃algebras and indicate a particular class of Banach C̃-algebras that overcomes these limitations to a lar...

In [1], the authors introduced a measure space, obtained by taking a quotient of a Loeb measure space, that has the property that multiplication is measure-preserving and for which standard sets of positive logarithmic density have positive measure. The log Banach density of a standard set (see Section 2 below for the definition) was also introduced, and this measure space framework was used, i...
