Let A be a Banach algebra and M be a Banach left A-module. A linear map δ : M → M is called a generalized derivation if there exists a derivation d : A → A such that δ(ax) = aδ(x) + d(a)x (a ∈ A,x ∈ M). In this paper, we associate a triangular Banach algebra T to Banach A-module M and investigate the relation between generalized derivations on M and derivations on T . In particular, we prove th...

A logarithmic residue is a contour integral of the (left or right) logarithmic derivative of an analytic Banach algebra valued function. Logarithmic residues are intimately related to sums of idempotents. The present paper is concerned with logarithmic residues and sums of idempotents in the Banach algebra generated by the compact operators and the identity in the case when the underlying Banac...

In this paper by using some conditions, we show that the weak amenability of (2n)-th dual of a Banach algebra A for some $ngeq 1$ implies the weak amenability of A.

We define a Banach algebra A to be dual if A = (A∗) ∗ for a closed submodule A∗ of A∗. The class of dual Banach algebras includes all W ∗-algebras, but also all algebras M(G) for locally compact groups G, all algebras L(E) for reflexive Banach spaces E, as well as all biduals of Arens regular Banach algebras. The general impression is that amenable, dual Banach algebras are rather the exception...

Let $mathcal{A}$ be a Banach algebra with BAI and $E$ be an introverted subspace of $mathcal{A}^prime$. In this paper we study the quotient Arens regularity of $mathcal{A}$ with respect to $E$ and prove that the group algebra $L^1(G)$ for a locally compact group $G$, is quotient Arens regular with respect to certain introverted subspace $E$ of $L^infty(G)$. Some related result are given as well.

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.

We present a variety of open questions in automatic continuity theory, concentrating on homomorphisms between Banach algebras and derivations from a Banach algebra A into a Banach A-bimodule.

We investigate generalized amenability and biflatness properties of various (operator) Segal algebras in both the group algebra, L (G), and the Fourier algebra, A(G), of a locally compact group, G. Barry Johnson introduced the important concept of amenability for Banach algebras in [20], where he proved, among many other things, that a group algebra L1(G) is amenable precisely when the locally ...

Let A be a Banach algebra. We call a pair (G,A) a Gelfand theory for A if the following axioms are satisfied: (G 1) A is a C∗-algebra, and G : A → A is a homomorphism; (G 2) the assignment L 7→ G−1(L) is a bijection between the sets of maximal modular left ideals of A and A, respectively; (G 3) for each maximal modular left ideal L of A, the linear map GL : A/G−1(L) → A/L induced by G has dense...
