It is known that B(l) is not amenable for p = 1, 2,∞, but whether or not B(l) is amenable for p ∈ (1,∞) \ {2} is an open problem. We show that, if B(l) is amenable for p ∈ (1,∞), then so are l(B(l)) and l(K(l)). Moreover, if l(K(l)) is amenable so is l(I,K(E)) for any index set I and for any infinite-dimensional Lspace E; in particular, if l(K(l)) is amenable for p ∈ (1,∞), then so is l(K(l ⊕ l...

over the past two decades, shanghai, the largest megacity in china, has been coping with unprecedented growth of its economy and population while overcoming previous underinvestment in the health system by the central and local governments. we study the evolution of shanghai’s healthcare system by analyzing “avoidable mortality” (am) – deaths amenable to public health and healthcare interventio...

Let $K$ be a locally compact hypergroup with left Haar measure and let $L^1(K)$ be the complex Lebesgue space associated with it. Let $L^infty(K)$ be the dual of $L^1(K)$. The purpose of this paper is to present some necessary and sufficient conditions for $L^infty(K)^*$ to have a topologically left invariant mean. Some characterizations of amenable hypergroups are given.

In this paper we study the relation between module amenability of $theta$-Lau product $A×_theta B$ and that of Banach algebras $A, B$. We also discuss module biprojectivity of $A×theta B$. As a consequent we will see that for an inverse semigroup $S$, $l^1(S)×_theta l^1(S)$ is module amenable if and only if $S$ is amenable.

We give a new formulation of some of our recent results on the following problem: if all uniformly bounded representations on a discrete group G are similar to unitary ones, is the group amenable? In §5, we give a new proof of Haagerup's theorem that, on non-commutative free groups, there are Herz-Schur multipliers that are not coefficients of uniformly bounded representations. We actually prov...
