We continue the investigation of notions of approximate amenability that were introduced in work of the second and third authors together with R. J. Loy. It is shown that every boundedly approximately contractible Banach algebra has a bounded approximate identity, and that the Fourier algebra of the free group on two generators is not operator approximately amenable. Further examples are obtain...

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).

In the present paper for two $mathfrak{A}$-module Banach algebras $A$ and $B$, we investigate relations between $varphi$-$mathfrak{A}$-module approximate amenability of $A$, $psi$-$mathfrak{A}$-module approximate amenability of $B$, and $varphioplus psi$-$mathfrak{A}$-module approximate amenability of $Aoplus B$ ($l^1$-direct sum of $A$ and $B$), where $varphiin$ Hom$_{mathfrak{A}}(A)$ and $psi...

For a Banach algebra $A$, $A''$ is $(-1)$-Weakly amenable if $A'$ is a Banach $A''$-bimodule and $H^1(A'',A')={0}$. In this paper, among other things,  we study the relationships between the $(-1)$-Weakly amenability of $A''$ and the weak amenability of $A''$ or $A$. Moreover, we show that the second dual of every $C^ast$-algebra is $(-1)$-Weakly amenable.

in 2005, a. abdollahi and a. rejali, studied the relations betweenparadoxical decomposition and configuration for semigroups. in thepresent paper, we introduce one other concept of amenability typeon semigroups and groups which includes amenability of semigroupsand inner-amenability of groups. we have extend the previous knownresults to semigroups and groups satisfying this concept.

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 approximate...
