The present paper deals with the concept of left amenability for a wide range of Banach algebras known as Lau algebras. It gives a fixed point property characterizing left amenable Lau algebras in terms of left Banach -modules. It also offers an application of this result to some Lau algebras related to a locally compact group G, such as the Eymard-Fourier algebra A(G), the Fourier-Stieltjes al...

We show three Hahn-Banach type extension criteria for (sets of) bounded C*-linear maps of Hilbert C*-modules to the underlying C*-algebras of coefficients. One criterion establishes an alternative description of the property of C*-algebras to be monotone complete or additively complete.

We introduce a notion of analytic generator for groups of unbounded operators, on Banach modules, arising from Esterle’s quasimultiplier theory. Characterizations of analytic generators are given in terms of the existence of certain functional calculi. This extends recent results about C0 groups of bounded operators. The theory is applicable to sectorial operators, representations of H∞, and in...

We establish some criteria for the stability of the essential spectrum for unbounded operators acting in Banach modules. The applications cover operators acting on sections of vector fiber bundles over non-smooth manifolds or locally compact abelian groups, in particular differential operators of any order with complex measurable coefficients on R, singular Dirac operators and Laplace-Beltrami ...

We investigate the following generalized Cauchy functional equation f(αx+ βy) = αf(x) + βf(y) where α, β ∈ R \ {0}, and use a fixed point method to prove its generalized Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability in Banach modules over a C∗-algebra.

let $r$ be an arbitrary ring with identity and $m$ a right $r$-module with $s=$ end$_r(m)$. the module $m$ is called {it rickart} if for any $fin s$, $r_m(f)=se$ for some $e^2=ein s$. we prove that some results of principally projective rings and baer modules can be extended to rickart modules for this general settings.
