There are two notions of amenability for discrete equivalence relations. The \global" amenability (which is usually referred to just as \amenability") is the property of existence of leafwise invariant means, which, by a theorem of Connes{Feldman{Weiss, is equivalent to hyperrniteness, or, to being the orbit equivalence relation of a Z-action. The notion of \local" amenability applies to equiva...

Let S be a semigroup. In certain cases we give some characterizations of extreme amenability of S and we show that in these cases extreme left amenability and extreme right amenability of S are equivalent. Also when S is a compact topological semigroup, we characterize extremely left amenable subalgebras of C(S), where C(S) is the space of all continuous bounded real valued functions on S

Abstract We give a short geometric proof of result Soardi and Woess Salvatori that quasitransitive graph is amenable if only its automorphism group unimodular. also strengthen one direction by showing compactly generated totally disconnected locally compact admits proper Lipschitz action on bounded degree then pass via the notion amenability group, which has previously been studied second autho...

In this paper,  pseudo-amenability and pseudo-Connes amenability of weighted semigroup algebra $ell^1(S,omega)$ are studied. It is proved that pseudo-Connes amenability and pseudo-amenability of weighted group algebra $ell^1(G,omega)$ are the same. Examples are given to show that the class of $sigma$-Connes amenable dual Banach algebras is larger than that of Connes amenable dual Banach algebras.

In this paper among many other things we prove that the topological left amenability and left amenability of a weighted hypergroup (K, ?) are equivalent. For a normal subgroup H of K, we define a weight function ?? on KIH and obtain connection between left amenability of (K, ?) and (K|H, ??). Let H be a compact subhypergroup of K. We define the weight function on K||H and obtain connection...

in the present paper, the concepts of module (uniform) approximate amenability and contractibility of banach algebras that are modules over another banach algebra, are introduced. the general theory is developed and some hereditary properties are given. in analogy with the banach algebraic approximate amenability, it is shown that module approximate amenability and contractibility are the same ...

we survey the recent investigations on (bounded, sequential) approximate connesamenability and pseudo-connes amenability for dual banach algebras. we will discuss thecore problems concerning these notions and address the signicance of any solutions to themto the development of the eld.

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 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...
