This study tested whether the gender intensification hypothesis applies to relations between multiple domain-specific self-concept facets and selfesteem. This hypothesis predicts gender-stereotypic differences in these relations and assumes they intensify with age. Furthermore, knowledge about gender-related or age-related differences in self-concept–self-esteem relations might provide valuable...

Abstract We shall consider measure algebras associated to locally compact groups, bounded operators between them and properties of the underlying measures. take into account second dual provided with Arens products together tools Gélfand theory.

Robin Harte Dedicated to Goldie Hawn, on her birthday Abstract We attempt to deconstruct the Arens-Royden Theorem. Suppose A is a Banach algebra (by default complex, with identity 1): we shall write 0.1 A−1 = {a ∈ A : 1 ∈ Aa∩aA} for the open subgroup of invertible elements, and A−1 0 for the connected component of the identity in A −1: it turns out ([8], [11] Theorem 7.11.4) that 0.2 A−1 0 = Ex...

The aim of this paper is to exploit the structure strongly continuous operator semigroups in order formulate a categorical framework which fresh perspective can be applied past theoretic results. In particular, we investigate inverse-producing Arens extension for Banach algebras (Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 88:536–548, 1958) adapted operators and by Batty Geyer (J. Oper. Theory 78(2):473–500, 2017) n...

We study representations of Banach algebras on reflexive Banach spaces. Algebras which admit such representations which are bounded below seem to be a good generalisation of Arens regular Banach algebras; this class includes dual Banach algebras as defined by Runde, but also all group algebras, and all discrete (weakly cancellative) semigroup algebras. Such algebras also behave in a similar way...
