Let φ be a w-continuous homomorphism from a dual Banach algebra to C. The notion of φ-Connes amenability is studied and some characterizations is given. A type of diagonal for dual Banach algebras is dened. It is proved that the existence of such a diagonal is equivalent to φ-Connes amenability. It is also shown that φ-Connes amenability is equivalent to so-called φ-splitting of a certain short...

we study the notion of bounded approximate connes-amenability for‎ ‎dual banach algebras and characterize this type of algebras in terms‎ ‎of approximate diagonals‎. ‎we show that bounded approximate‎ ‎connes-amenability of dual banach algebras forces them to be unital‎. ‎for a separable dual banach algebra‎, ‎we prove that bounded‎ ‎approximate connes-amenability implies sequential approximate...

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.

‎Generalizing the notion of character amenability for Banach‎ ‎algebras‎, ‎we study the concept of $varphi$-Connes amenability of‎ ‎a dual Banach algebra $mathcal{A}$ with predual $mathcal{A}_*$‎, ‎where $varphi$ is a homomorphism from $mathcal{A}$ onto $Bbb C$‎ ‎that lies in $mathcal{A}_*$‎. ‎Several characterizations of‎ ‎$varphi$-Connes amenability are given‎. ‎We also prove that the‎ ‎follo...

In these talks I’ll try to explain these classes of groups so peculiarly separated by chance. I’ll start in § 1 with amenable groups, which have been studied the longest (since von Neumann in the 1920s, who was investigating the Banach–Tarski paradox as Henry explained last term), and are a very natural class of groups to look at. Then I’ll move on in § 2 to an enormous superset of the amenable...

We prove a classification result for properly outer actions σ of discrete amenable groups G on strongly amenable subfactors of type II, N ⊂ M , a class of subfactors that were shown to be completely classified by their standard invariant GN,M , in ([Po7]). The result shows that the action σ is completely classified in terms of the action it induces on GN,M . As a an application of this, we obta...

A subgroup of an amenable group is amenable. The C*-algebra version of this fact is false. This was first proved by M.-D. Choi [9] who proved that the non-nuclear C*-algebra C*(Z2 * Z3) is a subalgebra of the nuclear Cuntz algebra €2. A. Connes provided another example, based on a crossed product construction. More recently J. Spielberg [23] showed that these examples were essentially the same....
