The bounded approximate version of $varphi$-amenability and character amenability are introduced and studied. These new notions are characterized in several different ways, and some hereditary properties of them are established. The general theory for these concepts is also developed. Moreover, some examples are given to show that these notions are different from the others. Finally, bounded ap...

This paper continues the investigation of the rst author begun in part one. The hereditary properties of n-homomorphism amenability for Banach algebras are investigated and the relations between n-homomorphism amenability of a Banach algebra and its ideals are found. Analogous to the character amenability, it is shown that the tensor product of two unital Banach algebras is n-homomorphism amena...

We discuss some techniques related to equivariant compactifications of uniform spaces and amenability of topological groups. In particular, we give a new proof of a recent result by Glasner and Weiss describing the universal minimal flow of the infinite symmetric group S∞ with the standard Polish topology, and extend Bekka’s concept of an amenable representation, enabling one to deduce non-amen...

In this paper, we define the first topological (σ, τ)-cohomology group and examine vanishing of the first (σ, τ)-cohomology groups of certain triangular Banach algebras. We apply our results to study the (σ, τ)-weak amenability and (σ, τ)-amenability of triangular Banach algebras.

We show that the group of bounded automatic automorphisms of a rooted tree is amenable, which implies amenability of numerous classes of groups generated by finite automata. The proof is based on reducing the problem to showing amenability just of a certain explicit family of groups (“Mother groups”) which is done by analyzing the asymptotic properties of random walks on these groups.

We introduce the notion of amenability for affine algebras. We characterize amenability by Følner-sequences, paradoxicality and the existence of finitely invariant dimension-measures. Then we extend the results of Rowen on ranks, from affine algebras of subexponential growth to amenable affine algebras. AMS Subject Classifications: 43A07, 16P90

We study the concept of α-amenability of commutative hypergroups K. We establish several characterizations of α-amenability by combining results of [1] and [2] and adding the Glicksberg-Reiter property. In addition, as examples compact K and discrete polynomial hypergroups on N0 are discussed. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 43A62, Secondary 46H25
