We establish a necessary condition for a commutative Banach algebra A so that there exists a homomorphism θ from A into another Banach algebra such that the prime radical of the continuity ideal of θ is not a finite intersection of prime ideals in A. We prove that the prime radical of the continuity ideal of an epimorphism from A onto another Banach algebra (or of a derivation from A into a Ban...

We consider the relationship between derivations and local power series quotients for a locally multiplicatively convex Fr echet algebra (this includes the case of a Banach algebra). In x2 we derive necessary conditions for a commutative Fr echet algebra to have a local power series quotient. Our main result here is Proposition 2.6, which shows that if the generating element has nite closed des...

Let $mathcal{A}$ be a Banach algebra and $mathcal{M}$ be a Banach $mathcal{A}$-bimodule. We say that a linear mapping $delta:mathcal{A} rightarrow mathcal{M}$ is a generalized $sigma$-derivation whenever there exists a $sigma$-derivation $d:mathcal{A} rightarrow mathcal{M}$ such that $delta(ab) = delta(a)sigma(b) + sigma(a)d(b)$, for all $a,b in mathcal{A}$. Giving some facts concerning general...

In this paper we shall study the multipliers on Banach algebras and We prove some results concerning Arens regularity and amenability of the Banach algebra M(A) of all multipliers on a given Banach algebra A. We also show that, under special hypotheses, each Jordan multiplier on a Banach algebra without order is a multiplier. Finally, we present some applications of m...

let r be a prime ring with extended centroid c, h a generalized derivation of r and n ⩾ 1 a xed integer. in this paper we study the situations: (1) if (h(xy))n = (h(x))n(h(y))n for all x; y 2 r; (2) obtain some related result in case r is a noncommutative banach algebra and h is continuous or spectrally bounded.

We introduce the concept of reflexivity for bounded n-linear maps and investigate the reflexivity of Zn(L1(G),X), the space of bounded ncocycles from L1(G)(n) into X, where L1(G) is the group algebra of a locally compact group G and X is a Banach L1(G)-bimodule. We show that Zn(L1(G), X) is reflexive for a large class of groups including groups with polynomial growth, IN-groups, maximally almos...

Let A be a Banach algebra and X be a Banach A-bimodule. In this paper, we define a new product on $Aoplus X$ and generalize the module extension Banach algebras. We  obtain characterizations of Arens regularity, commutativity, semisimplity, and study the ideal structure and derivations of this new Banach algebra.

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $X$ be a Banach $A$-bimodule. Then ${mathcal{S}}=A oplus X$, the $l^1$-direct sum of $A$ and $X$ becomes a module extension Banach algebra when equipped with the algebra product $(a,x).(a',x')=(aa',ax'+xa').$ In this paper, we investigate biflatness and biprojectivity for these Banach algebras. We also discuss on automatic continuity of derivations on ${mathcal{S...

motivated by an arens regularity problem, we introduce the concepts of matrix banach space and matrix banach algebra. the notion of matrix normed space in the sense of ruan is a special case of our matrix normed system. a matrix banach algebra is a matrix banach space with a completely contractive multiplication. we study the structure of matrix banach spaces and matrix banach algebras. then we...
