Finite-dimensional ideals in Banach algebras

Derivations Into N-th Duals of Ideals of Banach Algebras

Principal Ideals and Semi-direct Products in Commutative Banach Algebras

We prove necessary conditions for a commutative Banach algebra to be the semidirect product of some subalgebra together with a speci ed principal ideal. x

On Identifying the Maximal Ideals in Banach Algebras

We consider the problem of identifying the maximal ideals of a Banach algebra S that is contained in a larger Banach algebra B. If S is dense in B in an appropriate sense and if the spectral radii in S and B are the same, then S and B have the same maximal ideals. The result is illustrated by two examples of Banach algebras S in which the density and spectral radius conditions are easily shown ...

Derivations into Duals of Closed Ideals of Banach Algebras

Let A be a Banach algebra. We study those closed ideals I of A for which the first cohomology group of A with coefficients in I is trivial; i.e. H(A, I) = {0}. We investigate such closed ideals when A is weakly amenable or biflat. Also we give some hereditary properties of ideal amenability.

amenability of banach algebras

chapters 1 and 2 establish the basic theory of amenability of topological groups and amenability of banach algebras. also we prove that. if g is a topological group, then r (wluc (g)) (resp. r (luc (g))) if and only if there exists a mean m on wluc (g) (resp. luc (g)) such that for every wluc (g) (resp. every luc (g)) and every element d of a dense subset d od g, m (r)m (f) holds. chapter 3 inv...
