Several results are proved concerning representations of multiplier algebras that arise as extensions of representations of underlying Banach algebras. These results are then used to rederive Kisyński’s generalisation of the Hille–Yosida theorem and to establish two generalisations of the Trotter–Kato theorem, one of which, involving Banach bundles, is abstract and the other is classical in cha...

Let A be a Banach algebra. We call a pair (G,A) a Gelfand theory for A if the following axioms are satisfied: (G 1) A is a C∗-algebra, and G : A → A is a homomorphism; (G 2) the assignment L 7→ G−1(L) is a bijection between the sets of maximal modular left ideals of A and A, respectively; (G 3) for each maximal modular left ideal L of A, the linear map GL : A/G−1(L) → A/L induced by G has dense...

In this paper, we define the first topological (σ, τ)-cohomology group and examine vanishing of the first (σ, τ)-cohomology groups of certain triangular Banach algebras. We apply our results to study the (σ, τ)-weak amenability and (σ, τ)-amenability of triangular Banach algebras.

In the present paper, the Hyers-Ulam stability and also the superstability of double centralizers and multipliers on Banach algebras are established by using a fixed point method. With this method, the condition of without order on Banach algebras is no longer necessary.

The existence of the split extension classifier of a crossed module in the category of associative algebras is investigated. According to the equivalence of categories XAss ' Cat-Ass we consider this problem in Cat-Ass. This category is not a category of interest, it satisfies its all axioms except one. The action theory developed in the category of interest is adapted to the new type of catego...

We use the Poisson integral formula in order to establish harmonic functional calculus for quotient involutive Banach algebras. We give several properties of this functional calculus. L.Waelbroeck’s holomorphic functional calculus is a special case of ours. We use our harmonic functional calculus to extend result of J.W.M.Ford to quotient involutive Banach algebras. L.WAELBROECK a montré dans [...

We present a variety of open questions in automatic continuity theory, concentrating on homomorphisms between Banach algebras and derivations from a Banach algebra A into a Banach A-bimodule.

Let A be a C∗-algebra, and let X be a Banach A-bimodule. B. E. Johnson showed that local derivations from A into X are derivations. We extend this concept of locality to the higher cohomology of a C ∗-algebra and show that, for every n ∈ N, bounded local n-cocycles from A into X are n-cocycles. The study of the local properties of Hochschild cohomology of a Banach algebra was initiated by intro...
