A topological group G has the Approximate Fixed Point (AFP) property on a bounded convex subset C of a locally convex space if every continuous affine action of G on C admits a net ( x i ) , x i ∈ C , such that x i - g ⁢ x i ⟶ 0 for all g ∈ G . In this work, we study the relationship between this property and amenability.

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

We investigate the higher-dimensional amenability of tensor products A ⊗̂ B of Banach algebras A and B. We prove that the weak bidimension dbw of the tensor product A⊗̂B of Banach algebras A and B with bounded approximate identities satisfies dbwA ⊗̂ B = dbwA+ dbwB. We show that it cannot be extended to arbitrary Banach algebras. For example, for a biflat Banach algebra A which has a left or right...

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

In this paper, we study the approximate biprojectivity and biflatness of a Banach algebra A find some relations between theses concepts with ?-amenability ? -contractibility, where is character on A. Among other things, show that ?-Lau product L1(G) ?? A(G) approximately biprojective if only G finite, are group Fourier locally compact G, respectively. We also characterize biflat semigroup algeb...

The concept of amenability for Banach algebras was introduced by Johnson in 1972 [6]. Several modifications of this notion, such as approximate amenability and pseudo-amenability, were introduced in [2] and [4]. In the current paper we investigate the pseudo-amenability of Brandt semigroup algebras. It was shown in [2] and [4] that for the group algebra L(G), amenability, approximate amenabilit...
