Let A and B be two Banach algebras and let M be a Banach B-bimodule. Suppose that σ : A → B is a linear mapping and d : A → M is a σ-derivation. We prove several results about automatic continuity of σderivations on Banach algebras. In addition, we define a notion for m-weakly continuous linear mapping and show that, under certain conditions, d and σ are m-weakly continuous. Moreover, we prove ...

Definition 3. Let B be a ring. Then, we denote by B [[t]] the ring of formal power series over B in the indeterminate t, where t is supposed to commute with every element of B. Formally, this means that we define B [[t]] as the ring of all sequences (b0, b1, b2, ...) ∈ BN (where N means the set {0, 1, 2, ...}), with addition defined by (b0, b1, b2, ...) + (b ′ 0, b ′ 1, b ′ 2, ...) = (b0 + b ′ ...

We give a sufficient condition for a bi-invariant weight on a Frobenius bimodule to satisfy the extension property. This condition applies to bi-invariant weights on a finite Frobenius ring as a special case. The complex-valued functions on a Frobenius bimodule are viewed as a module over the semigroup ring of the multiplicative semigroup of the coefficient ring.

as (G,G)-bimodules, and where the sum is over all irreducible representations of G. Let H be a Hopf algebra. If H is finite dimensional, then H∗ is also a Hopf algebra by dualizing all operations from H. We run into issues if H is infinite-dimensional, but we can find a fix. For a finite-dimensional H-module V , an element v ∈ V , and f ∈ V ∗, define a linear functional on H by cf,v(u) = f(uv)....

Given a conditionally completely positive map L on a unital ∗-algebra A, we find an interesting connection between the second Hochschild cohomology of A with coefficients in the bimodule EL = Ba(A⊕M) of adjointable maps, where M is the GNS bimodule of L, and the possibility of constructing a quantum random walk (in the sense of [2, 11, 13, 16]) corresponding to L.

It is an open problem as to whether any bimodule inducing a Morita auto-equivalence of block must have endopermutation source. We prove that, for blocks b with normal defect groups in odd characteristic, stronger result holds, namely that all such bimodules linear also the analogous characteristic 2, provided group specific, slightly restrictive, form.

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...
