For a Banach algebra $fA$, we introduce ~$c.c(fA)$, the set of all $phiin fA^*$ such that $theta_phi:fAto fA^*$ is a completely continuous operator, where $theta_phi$ is defined by $theta_phi(a)=acdotphi$~~ for all $ain fA$. We call $fA$, a completely continuous Banach algebra if $c.c(fA)=fA^*$. We give some examples of completely continuous Banach algebras and a suffici...

Let be a Banach algebra and : a derivation. In this paper, it is proved, under certain conditions, that , where is the Jacobson radical of . Moreover, we prove that if is unital and : is a continuous derivation, then ⋂ ⋂ ⋂ , where denotes the set of all primitive ideals such that is commutative, denotes the set of all maximal (modular) ideals such that is commutative, and Φ is the set of all no...

For a Banach algebra $A$, $A''$ is $(-1)$-Weakly amenable if $A'$ is a Banach $A''$-bimodule and $H^1(A'',A')={0}$. In this paper, among other things,  we study the relationships between the $(-1)$-Weakly amenability of $A''$ and the weak amenability of $A''$ or $A$. Moreover, we show that the second dual of every $C^ast$-algebra is $(-1)$-Weakly amenable.

Let A be a Banach algebra. A is called ideally amenable if for every closed ideal I of A, the first cohomology group of A with coefficients in I* is trivial. We investigate the closed ideals I for which H1 (A,I* )={0}, whenever A is weakly amenable or a biflat Banach algebra. Also we give some hereditary properties of ideal amenability.

Let A, B be two regular commutative unital Banach algebras such that B is integral over A. In 2003, Dawson and Feinstein showed that the topological stable rank tsr(B) = 1 whenever tsr(A) = 1. In this note, we investigate whether we will have tsr(A) = tsr(B) in general. For instance, when A is a commutative unital C∗-algebra, we show that tsr(A) ≤ tsr(B), and the equality holds at least when th...

Let A be a Banach algebra and X a Banach A-bimodule, the derivation D : A → X is semi-inner if there are ξ, μ ∈ X such that D(a) = a.ξ − μ.a, (a ∈ A). A is called semi-amenable if every derivation D : A → X∗ is semi-inner. The dual Banach algebra A is Connes semi-amenable (resp. approximately semi-amenable) if, every D ∈ Z1w _ (A,X), for each normal, dual Banach A-bimodule X, is semi -inner (re...
