Let G be one of the local gauge groups C(X, U(n)), C∞(X, U(n)), C(X, SU(n)) or C∞(X, SU(n)) where X is a compact Riemannian manifold. We observe that G has a nontrivial group topology, coarser than its natural topology, w.r.t. which it is amenable, viz the relative weak topology of C(X, M(n)). This topology seems more useful than other known amenable topologies for G. We construct a simple ferm...

Abstract We prove that for a Banach algebra A having bounded $\mathcal {Z}(A)$ -approximate identity and every $\mathbf {[IN]}$ group G with weight w which is either constant on conjugacy classes or satisfies $w \geq 1$ , {Z}(L^{1}_{w}(G) \otimes ^{\gamma } A) \cong \mathcal {Z}(L^{1}_{w}(G)) . As an application, we discuss the conditions under {Z}(L^{1}_{\omega }(G,A))$ enjoys certain algebrai...

We investigate generalized amenability and biflatness properties of various (operator) Segal algebras in both the group algebra, L (G), and the Fourier algebra, A(G), of a locally compact group, G. Barry Johnson introduced the important concept of amenability for Banach algebras in [20], where he proved, among many other things, that a group algebra L1(G) is amenable precisely when the locally ...

let $a$ be an arbitrary banach algebra and $varphi$ a homomorphism from $a$ onto $bbb c$. our first purpose in this paper is to give some equivalent conditions under which guarantees a $varphi$-mean of norm one. then we find some conditions under which there exists a $varphi$-mean in the weak$^*$ cluster of ${ain a; |a|=varphi(a)=1}$ in $a^{**}$.

For horocyclic products of percolation subtrees of regular trees, we show almost sure amenability. Under a symmetry condition concerning the growth of the two percolation trees, we show the existence of an increasing Følner sequence (which we call strong amenability).

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...
