In this paper, we introduce the new concept of biprojectivity of a Banach algebra modulo an ideal, as a generalization of this notion in the classical case. By using it , we obtain some necessary and sufficient conditions for contractibility of Banach algebras modulo an ideal. In particular we characterize the contractibility of quotient Banach algebras. Also we study the relationship between t...

in this article we study two different generalizations of von neumann regularity, namely strong topological regularity and weak regularity, in the banach algebra context. we show that both are hereditary properties and under certain assumptions, weak regularity implies strong topological regularity. then we consider strong topological regularity of certain concrete algebras. moreover we obtain ...

Let $X$ be a  Banach  space, $Csubset X$  be  a  closed  convex  set  included  in  a well-based cone $K$, and also let $sigma_C$ be the support function which is defined on $C$. In this note, we first study the existence of a  bounded base for the cone $K$, then using the obtained results, we find some geometric conditions for the set  $C$,  so that ${mathop{rm int}}(mathrm{dom} sigma_C) neqem...

In this paper, we introduce an algebra of singular integral operators containing Bessel potentials of positive order, and show that the corresponding unital Banach algebra is an inverseclosed Banach subalgebra of B(Lw), the Banach algebra of all bounded operators on the weighted space Lw, for all 1 ≤ q < ∞ and Muckenhoupt Aq-weights w.

We prove that the separating space of an epimorphism from a Lie–Banach algebra onto the (continuous) derivation algebra Der(A) of a Banach algebra A consists of derivations which map into the radical of A.

We show that every complete metric space is homeomorphic to the locus of zeros of an entire analytic map from a complex Hilbert space to a complex Banach space. As a corollary, every separable complete metric space is homeomorphic to the locus of zeros of an entire analytic map between two complex Hilbert spaces. §1. Douady had observed [8] that every compact metric space is homeomorphic to the...
