Introduction The coarse Baum-Connes conjecture states that a certain coarse assembly map µ : KX * (X) → K * (C * (X)) is an isomorphism (see for example [Roe96] or the piece by N. Higson and J. Roe in [FRR95]). It has many important consequences including one of the main motivations for this piece: a descent technique connects it to injectivity of the ('ordinary') Baum-Connes assembly map µ : K...

Let $mathcal{A}$ be a Banach algebra and $X$ be a Banach $mathcal{A}-$bimodule. We study the notion of approximate $n-$ideal amenability for module extension Banach algebras $mathcal{A}oplus X$. First, we describe the structure of ideals of this kind of algebras and we present the necessary and sufficient conditions for a module extension Banach algebra to be approximately n-ideally amenable.

In this paper we study the concept of ph-biatness ofa Banach algebra A, where ph is a continuous homomorphism on A.We prove that if ph is a continuous epimorphism on A and A hasa bounded approximate identity and A is ph- biat, then A is ph-amenable. In the case where ph is an isomorphism on A we showthat the ph- amenability of A implies its ph-biatness.

We study representations of Banach algebras on reflexive Banach spaces. Algebras which admit such representations which are bounded below seem to be a good generalisation of Arens regular Banach algebras; this class includes dual Banach algebras as defined by Runde, but also all group algebras, and all discrete (weakly cancellative) semigroup algebras. Such algebras also behave in a similar way...

— Guoliang Yu has introduced a property on discrete metric spaces and groups, which is a weak form of amenability and which has important applications to the Novikov conjecture and the coarse Baum–Connes conjecture. The aim of the present paper is to prove that property in particular examples, like spaces with subexponential growth, amalgamated free products of discrete groups having property A...

A topological group G has the Approximate Fixed Point (AFP) property on a bounded convex subset C of a locally convex space if every continuous affine action of G on C admits a net ( x i ) , x i ∈ C , such that x i - g ⁢ x i ⟶ 0 for all g ∈ G . In this work, we study the relationship between this property and amenability.

We introduce the notions of approximate innerness and central triviality for endomorphisms on separable von Neumann factors, and we characterize them for hyperfinite factors by Connes-Takesaki modules of endomorphisms and modular endomorphisms which are introduced by Izumi. Our result is a generalization of the corresponding result obtained by KawahigashiSutherland-Takesaki in automorphism case.

Let A be a dual Banach algebra with predual A∗ and consider the following assertions: (A) A is Connes-amenable; (B) A has a normal, virtual diagonal; (C) A∗ is an injective A-bimodule. For general A, all that is known is that (B) implies (A) whereas, for von Neumann algebras, (A), (B), and (C) are equivalent. We show that (C) always implies (B) whereas the converse is false for A = M(G) where G...
