There are two notions of amenability for discrete equivalence relations. The \global" amenability (which is usually referred to just as \amenability") is the property of existence of leafwise invariant means, which, by a theorem of Connes{Feldman{Weiss, is equivalent to hyperrniteness, or, to being the orbit equivalence relation of a Z-action. The notion of \local" amenability applies to equiva...

We prove that the following are equivalent for a locally compact group G: (i) G is amenable; (ii) M(G) is Connes-amenable; (iii) M(G) has a normal, virtual diagonal.

In this paper we define $varphi$-Connes module amenability of a dual Banach algebra $mathcal{A}$ where $varphi$ is a bounded $w_{k^*}$-module homomorphism from $mathcal{A}$ to $mathcal{A}$. We are mainly concerned with the study of $varphi$-module normal virtual diagonals. We show that if $S$ is a weakly cancellative inverse semigroup with subsemigroup $E$ of idemp...

In this paper, we introduce a new notion of strong pseudo-amenability for Banach algebras. We study some matrix Using tool, characterize [Formula: see text], provided that text] is uniformly locally finite inverse semigroup. As an application, show Brandt semigroup pseudo-amenable if and only amenable finite. give examples to the differences between other classical notions amenability.

We prove that the measure algebra M(G) of a locally compact group G is Connesamenable if and only if G is amenable.
