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.

Let $mathcal{A}$ be a Banach algebra and $X$ be a Banach $mathcal{A}-$bimodule. We study the notion of approximate $n-$ideal amenability for module extension Banach algebras $mathcal{A}oplus X$. First, we describe the structure of ideals of this kind of algebras and we present the necessary and sufficient conditions for a module extension Banach algebra to be approximately n-ideally amenable.

We consider the relationship between derivations and local power series quotients for a locally multiplicatively convex Fr echet algebra (this includes the case of a Banach algebra). In x2 we derive necessary conditions for a commutative Fr echet algebra to have a local power series quotient. Our main result here is Proposition 2.6, which shows that if the generating element has nite closed des...
