in this paper we initiate the study of real group algebras and investigate some of its aspects.let l1 (g) be a group algebra of a locally compact group g,τ :g →g be a group homeomorphismsuch that τ 2 =τοτ = 1, the identity map, and lp (g,τ ) = { f ∈ lp (g) : fοτ = f } ( p ≥ 1) . in thispaper, among other results, we clarify the structure of lp (g,τ ) and characterize amenability ofl1 (g,τ ) and...

This paper is an investigation of positive elements in a Banach algebra. Under the firmness of the state space of a Banach algebra, it is shown that even powers of positive Hermitian elements are in fact positive.

In this paper, we nd the relationships between module contractibility of aBanach algebra and its ideals. We also prove that module contractibility ofa Banach algebra is equivalent to module contractibility of its module uniti-zation. Finally, we show that when a maximal group homomorphic image ofan inverse semigroup S with the set of idempotents E is nite, the moduleprojective tensor product l1...

let  and  be banach algebras, ,  and . we define an -product on  which is a strongly splitting extension of  by . we show that these products form a large class of banach algebras which contains all module extensions and triangular banach algebras. then we consider spectrum, arens regularity, amenability and weak amenability of these products.

In this paper we study the relationships among the spectra of the cosets of an element of a Banach algebra in some quotient algebras. We also characterize the spectrum of any a E M (where M is an ideal of a Banach algebra with identity and moreover has an identity) in the whole algebra in terms of the spectrum of a in M.

Let A be a Banach algebra, not necessarily unital, and let B be a closed subalgebra of A. We establish a connection between the Banach cyclic cohomology group HC(A) of A and the Banach B-relative cyclic cohomology group HCnB(A) of A. We prove that, for a Banach algebra A with a bounded approximate identity and an amenable closed subalgebra B of A, up to topological isomorphism, HC(A) = HCnB(A) ...

We show that if T is an isometry (as metric spaces) from an open subgroup of the invertible group A of a unital Banach algebra A onto an open subgroup of the invertible group B of a unital Banach algebra B, then T is extended to a real-linear isometry up to translation between these Banach algebras. We consider multiplicativity or unti-multiplicativity of the isometry. Note that a unital linear...

Let A be a C∗-algebra, and let X be a Banach A-bimodule. B. E. Johnson showed that local derivations from A into X are derivations. We extend this concept of locality to the higher cohomology of a C ∗-algebra and show that, for every n ∈ N, bounded local n-cocycles from A into X are n-cocycles. The study of the local properties of Hochschild cohomology of a Banach algebra was initiated by intro...

this article presents a unified approach to the abstract notions of partial convolution and involution in $l^p$-function spaces over semi-direct product of locally compact groups. let $h$ and $k$ be locally compact groups and $tau:hto aut(k)$ be a continuous homomorphism.  let $g_tau=hltimes_tau k$ be the semi-direct product of $h$ and $k$ with respect to $tau$. we define left and right $tau$-c...
