This paper is an investigation of positive elements in a Banach algebra. Under the firmness of the state space of a Banach algebra, it is shown that even powers of positive Hermitian elements are in fact positive.

in this paper, two new hamilton operators are defined and the algebra of dual split quaternions isdeveloped using these operators. it is shown that finite screw motions in minkowski 3-space can be expressedby dual-number ( 3×3 ) matrices in dual lorentzian space. moreover, by means of hamilton operators, screwmotion is obtained in 3-dimensional minkowski space 3r1

In this paper we define the module extension dual Banach algebras and we use this Banach algebras to finding the relationship between weak−continuous homomorphisms of dual Banach algebras and Connes-amenability. So we study the weak∗−continuous derivations on module extension dual Banach algebras.

In this paper, we nd the relationships between module contractibility of aBanach algebra and its ideals. We also prove that module contractibility ofa Banach algebra is equivalent to module contractibility of its module uniti-zation. Finally, we show that when a maximal group homomorphic image ofan inverse semigroup S with the set of idempotents E is nite, the moduleprojective tensor product l1...

A Banach algebra A is weakly amenable provided that every bounded derivation from A to its dual A is inner. In H1], the rst-named author, building on earlier work of J. W. Bunce and W. L. Paschke BP], proved that every C-algebra is weakly amenable. We give a simpliied and uniied proof of this theorem. B. E. Johnson has proved that every bounded Jordan derivation from a C-algebra A to any Banach...

let  and  be banach algebras, ,  and . we define an -product on  which is a strongly splitting extension of  by . we show that these products form a large class of banach algebras which contains all module extensions and triangular banach algebras. then we consider spectrum, arens regularity, amenability and weak amenability of these products.

let a be a unital algebra over a field of characteristic zero. we show that every derivation from( ) n m a into its dual ( ) n m a ∗ is the sum of an inner derivation and a derivation induced by a derivationfrom a into a∗

In this paper we study the relationships among the spectra of the cosets of an element of a Banach algebra in some quotient algebras. We also characterize the spectrum of any a E M (where M is an ideal of a Banach algebra with identity and moreover has an identity) in the whole algebra in terms of the spectrum of a in M.
