Let A be a Banach algebra and X a Banach A-bimodule, the derivation D : A → X is semi-inner if there are ξ, μ ∈ X such that D(a) = a.ξ − μ.a, (a ∈ A). A is called semi-amenable if every derivation D : A → X∗ is semi-inner. The dual Banach algebra A is Connes semi-amenable (resp. approximately semi-amenable) if, every D ∈ Z1w _ (A,X), for each normal, dual Banach A-bimodule X, is semi -inner (re...

Let G be a locally compact abelian group, and let p 2 1; 1). We show that the Segal algebra S p (G) is always weakly amenable, but that it is amenable only if G is discrete.

We prove that the first reduced cohomology with values in a mixing Lp-representation, 1 < p < ∞, vanishes for a class of amenable groups including amenable Lie groups. In particular this solves for this class of amenable groups a conjecture of Gromov saying that every finitely generated amenable group has no first reduced lp-cohomology. As a byproduct, we prove a conjecture by Pansu. Namely, th...

We prove that the first reduced cohomology with values in a mixing Lp-representation, 1 < p < ∞, vanishes for a class of amenable groups including connected amenable Lie groups. In particular this solves for this class of amenable groups a conjecture of Gromov saying that every finitely generated amenable group has no first reduced lp-cohomology. As a byproduct, we prove a conjecture by Pansu. ...

This paper summarizes various interpretations of emotional arguments, with a focus on the mode argument introduced in multi-modal argumentation model (Gilbert, 1994). From there author shifts from descriptive account arguments to discussion about normative framework. Pointing out problems evaluative models mode, paradigmatic shift captured by Amenable Argumentation Approach is explained as way ...
