We study the notion of bounded approximate Connes-amenability for‎ ‎dual Banach algebras and characterize this type of algebras in terms‎ ‎of approximate diagonals‎. ‎We show that bounded approximate‎ ‎Connes-amenability of dual Banach algebras forces them to be unital‎. ‎For a separable dual Banach algebra‎, ‎we prove that bounded‎ ‎approximate Connes-amenability implies sequential approximat...

We investigate generalized amenability and biflatness properties of various (operator) Segal algebras in both the group algebra, L (G), and the Fourier algebra, A(G), of a locally compact group, G. Barry Johnson introduced the important concept of amenability for Banach algebras in [20], where he proved, among many other things, that a group algebra L1(G) is amenable precisely when the locally ...

let $a$ be an arbitrary banach algebra and $varphi$ a homomorphism from $a$ onto $bbb c$. our first purpose in this paper is to give some equivalent conditions under which guarantees a $varphi$-mean of norm one. then we find some conditions under which there exists a $varphi$-mean in the weak$^*$ cluster of ${ain a; |a|=varphi(a)=1}$ in $a^{**}$.

Let $ G be a countable discrete group and consider nonsingular Bernoulli shift action \curvearrowright \prod_{g\in }(\{0,1\},\mu_g)$ with two base points. When is exact, under certain finiteness assumption on the measures $\{\mu_g\}_{g\in }$, we construct boundary for crossed product C$^*$-algebra that admits some commutativity amenability in sense of Ozawa's bi-exactness. As consequence, obtai...

It is well-known that a Kleinian group is amenable if and only if it is elementary. We establish an analogous property for equivalence relations and foliations with Gromov hyperbolic leaves: they are amenable if and only if they are elementary in the sense that one can assign (in a measurable way) to any leaf a finite subset of its hyperbolic boundary (as in the group case, such subsets cannot ...

For horocyclic products of percolation subtrees of regular trees, we show almost sure amenability. Under a symmetry condition concerning the growth of the two percolation trees, we show the existence of an increasing Følner sequence (which we call strong amenability).
