These notes are a gloss on the first chapter of Walter Rudin’s Fourier Analysis on Groups, and may be helpful to someone reading Rudin. The results I do prove are proved in more detail than they are in Rudin. I caution that before reading the first chapter of that book it is know about the Gelfand transform on commutative Banach algebras because results from that are used without even stating t...

We study a noncommutative (operator space) version of the ‘boundary’, and in particular the Shilov boundary, of a function space. The main idea is that Hilbert C∗−modules and their properties, which we studied earlier in the operator space framework, replace certain topological tools. We include some general notes on the ‘commutative case’ of some of the topics we discuss, coming in part from j...

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 ide- als are found. analogous to the character amenability, it is shown that the tensor product of two unital banach algebras is n-homomorphism am...

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $E$ be a Banach $A$-bimodule then $S = A oplus E$, the $l^1$-direct sum of $A$ and $E$ becomes a module extension Banach algebra when equipped with the algebras product $(a,x).(a^prime,x^prime)= (aa^prime, a.x^prime+ x.a^prime)$. In this paper, we investigate $triangle$-amenability for these Banach algebras and we show that for discrete inverse semigroup $S$ with...

Assume that $A$‎, ‎$B$ are Banach algebras and that $m:Atimes Brightarrow B$‎, ‎$m^prime:Atimes Arightarrow B$ are bounded bilinear mappings‎. ‎We study the relationships between Arens regularity of $m$‎, ‎$m^prime$ and the Banach algebras $A$‎, ‎$B$‎. ‎For a Banach $A‎$‎-bimodule $B$‎, ‎we show that $B$ factors with respect to $A$ if and only if $B^{**}$ is unital as an $A^{**}‎$‎-module‎. ‎Le...
