Building on previous papers by Anantharaman-Delaroche (AD) we introduce and study the notion of AD-amenability for partial actions Fell bundles over discrete groups. We prove that cross-sectional C*-algebra a bundle is nuclear if only underlying unit fibre AD-amenable. If action globalisable, then it AD-amenable its globalisation Moreover, preserved (weak) equivalence and, using very recent ide...

we survey the recent investigations on (bounded, sequential) approximate connesamenability and pseudo-connes amenability for dual banach algebras. we will discuss thecore problems concerning these notions and address the signicance of any solutions to themto the development of the eld.

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...

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...

let s be a semigroup. in certain cases we give some characterizations of extreme amenability of s and we show that in these cases extreme left amenability and extreme right amenability of s are equivalent. also when s is a compact topological semigroup, we characterize extremely left amenable subalgebras of c(s), where c(s) is the space of all continuous bounded real valued functions on s

let φ be a w  -continuous homomorphism from a dual banach algebra to c. the notion of φ-connes amenability is studied and some characterizations is given. a type of diagonal for dual banach algebras is dened. it is proved that the existence of such a diagonal is equivalent to φ-connes amenability. it is also shown that φ-connes amenability is equivalent to so-called φ-splitting of a certain s...

In this paper, we consider a time independent C Hamiltonian, satisfying the usual hypothesis of the classical Calculus of Variations, on a non-compact connected manifold. Using the Lax-Oleinik semigroup, we give a proof of the existence of weak KAM solutions, or viscosity solutions, for the associated Hamilton-Jacobi Equation. This proof works also in presence of symmetries. We also study the r...
