Given a topological group G let C(G) denote the Banach space of bounded, continous real valued function on G. Eberlein [1] defined a function f ∈ C(G) to be weakly almost periodic if the weak closure of all of its translates is compact in the weak topology on C(G) — in other words, if fx(y) is defined to be f(yx−1) then the weak closure of {fx | x ∈ G} is weakly compact. The set of weakly almos...

in this paper we establish a characterization of abelian compact hausdorff semigroups with unique idempotent and ideal retraction property. we also introduce a function algebra on a semitopological semigroup whose associated semigroup compactification is universal withrespect to these properties.

in this paper, we introduce a new generalization of weakly prime ideals called $i$-prime. suppose $r$ is a commutative ring with identity and $i$ a fixed ideal of $r$. a proper ideal $p$ of $r$ is $i$-prime if for $a, b in r$ with $ab in p-ip$ implies either $a in p$ or $b in p$. we give some characterizations of $i$-prime ideals and study some of its properties.  moreover, we give conditions  ...

Let M⊂B(H) be a von Neumann algebra acting on the (separable) Hilbert space H. We first prove that M is finite if and only if, for every x∈M all vectors ξ,η∈H, coefficient function u↦⟨uxu∗ξ|η⟩ weakly almost periodic topological group UM of unitaries in (equipped with weak operator topology). The main device unique invariant mean C∗-algebra WAP(UM) functions UM. Next, we direct sum diffuse, abel...
