The Arens products are the standard way of extending the product from a Banach algebra A to its bidual A′′. Ultrapowers provide another method which is more symmetric, but one that in general will only give a bilinear map, which may not be associative. We show that if A is Arens regular, then there is at least one way to use an ultrapower to recover the Arens product, a result previously known ...

In this paper we define the notion of weak Arens regular Banach algebras and extend the concept of quasi-multipliers to this certain class of Banach algebras. Among other the relationship between Arens regularity of the algebra A∗∗ of a weak Arens regular Banach algebra A and the space QMr(A∗) of all bilinear and separately continuous right quasimultipliers of A∗ is investigated. Further, we st...

For a compact space X we consider extending endomorphisms of the algebra C(X) to be endomorphisms of Arens-Hoffman and Cole extensions of C(X). Given a non-linear, monic polynomial p ∈ C(X)[t], with C(X)[t]/pC(X)[t] semi-simple, we show that if an endomorphism of C(X) extends to the Arens-Hoffman extension with respect to p then it also extends to the simple Cole extension with respect to p. We...

Let A be a Banach algebra. Then A the second dual of A is a Banach algebra with first (second) Arens product. We study the Arens products of A(= (A∗∗)∗∗). We fined some conditions on A to be a left ideal in A. We fined the biggest two sided ideal I of A, in which I is a left (right) ideal of A∗∗.

Let A be a Banach algebra with the second dual A∗∗. If A has a bounded approximate identity (= BAI), then A∗∗ is unital if and only if A∗∗ has a weak∗ bounded approximate identity(= W ∗BAI). If A is Arens regular and A has a BAI, then A∗ factors on both sides. In this paper we introduce new concepts LW ∗W and RW ∗W property and we show that under certain conditions if A has LW ∗W and RW ∗W prop...

Motivated by an Arens regularity problem, we introduce the concepts of matrix Banach space and matrix Banach algebra. The notion of matrix normed space in the sense of Ruan is a special case of our matrix normed system. A matrix Banach algebra is a matrix Banach space with a completely contractive multiplication. We study the structure of matrix Banach spaces and matrix Banach algebras. Then we...

In this paper, we study several problems in Banach algebras concerned with the Arens products.
