In the definition of a crossed module $(T,G,rho)$, the actions of the group $T$ and $G$ on themselves are given by conjugation. In this paper, we consider these actions to be arbitrary and thus generalize the concept of ordinary crossed module. Therefore, we get the category ${bf GCM}$, of all generalized crossed modules and generalized crossed module morphisms between them, and investigate som...

Let $A$ be a Banach ternary algebra over a scalar field $Bbb R$ or $Bbb C$ and $X$ be a ternary Banach $A$--module. Let $sigma,tau$ and $xi$ be linear mappings on $A$, a linear mapping $D:(A,[~]_A)to (X,[~]_X)$ is called a Lie ternary $(sigma,tau,xi)$--derivation, if $$D([a,b,c])=[[D(a)bc]_X]_{(sigma,tau,xi)}-[[D(c)ba]_X]_{(sigma,tau,xi)}$$ for all $a,b,cin A$, where $[abc]_{(sigma,tau,xi)}=ata...

We consider Schatten ́s equation in connection with a Banach algebra and Banach modules. From this connection we infer a new proof of the fact that the second action of a bounded derivation is also a bounded derivation.

We first study some properties‎ ‎of $A$-module homomorphisms $theta:Xrightarrow Y$‎, ‎where $X$‎ ‎and $Y$ are Fréchet $A$-modules and $A$ is a unital‎ ‎Fréchet algebra‎. ‎Then we show that if there exists a‎ ‎continued bisection of the identity for $A$‎, ‎then $theta$ is‎ ‎automatically continuous under certain condition on $X$‎. ‎In‎ ‎particular‎, ‎every homomorphism from $A$ into certain‎ ‎Fr...
