In this paper we introduce two symmetric variants of amenability, symmetric module amenability and symmetric Connes amenability. We determine symmetric module amenability and symmetric Connes amenability of some concrete Banach algebras. Indeed, it is shown that $ell^1(S)$ is  a symmetric $ell^1(E)$-module amenable if and only if $S$ is amenable, where $S$ is an inverse semigroup with subsemigr...

in this paper we introduce two symmetric variants of amenability, symmetric module amenability and symmetric connes amenability. we determine symmetric module amenability and symmetric connes amenability of some concrete banach algebras. indeed, it is shown that $ell^1(s)$ is  a symmetric $ell^1(e)$-module amenable if and only if $s$ is amenable, where $s$ is an inverse semigroup with subsemigr...

In this paper,  pseudo-amenability and pseudo-Connes amenability of weighted semigroup algebra $ell^1(S,omega)$ are studied. It is proved that pseudo-Connes amenability and pseudo-amenability of weighted group algebra $ell^1(G,omega)$ are the same. Examples are given to show that the class of $sigma$-Connes amenable dual Banach algebras is larger than that of Connes amenable dual Banach algebras.

Let A be a Banach algebra and X a Banach A-bimodule, the derivation D : A → X is semi-inner if there are ξ, μ ∈ X such that D(a) = a.ξ − μ.a, (a ∈ A). A is called semi-amenable if every derivation D : A → X∗ is semi-inner. The dual Banach algebra A is Connes semi-amenable (resp. approximately semi-amenable) if, every D ∈ Z1w _ (A,X), for each normal, dual Banach A-bimodule X, is semi -inner (re...

We introduce the notion of Johnson pseudo-Connes amenability for dual Banach algebras. study relation between this new with various notions Connes like amenability, approximate and pseudo amenability. also investigate some hereditary properties notion. prove that a locally compact group G,M(G) is amenable if only G amenable. Also we show every non-empty set I,MI(C) under forced to have finite i...

In this paper, we investigate, for a locally compact groupG, the operator amenability of the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra B(G) and of the reduced Fourier-Stieltjes algebra Br(G). The natural conjecture is that any of these algebras is operator amenable if and only if G is compact. We partially prove this conjecture with mere operator amenability replaced by operator C-amenability for some constant...

We define a Banach algebra A to be dual if A = (A∗) ∗ for a closed submodule A∗ of A∗. The class of dual Banach algebras includes all W ∗-algebras, but also all algebras M(G) for locally compact groups G, all algebras L(E) for reflexive Banach spaces E, as well as all biduals of Arens regular Banach algebras. The general impression is that amenable, dual Banach algebras are rather the exception...

We prove that the following are equivalent for a locally compact group G: (i) G is amenable; (ii) M(G) is Connes-amenable; (iii) M(G) has a normal, virtual diagonal.

Alternative titles of this paper would have been “Index theory without index” or “The Baum–Connes conjecture without Baum.” In 1989, Rieffel introduced an analytic version of deformation quantization based on the use of continuous fields ofC∗-algebras. We review how a wide variety of examples of such quantizations can be understood on the basis of a single lemma involving amenable groupoids. Th...
