We prove that a Jordan homomorphism from a Banach algebra into a semisimple commutative Banach algebra is a ring homomorphism. Using a signum effectively, we can give a simple proof of the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of a Jordan homomorphism between Banach algebras. As a direct corollary, we show that to each approximate Jordan homomorphism f from a Banach algebra into a semisimple commutative...

The infinite-dimensional analogues of the classical general linear group appear as groups of invertible elements of Banach algebras. Mappings of these groups onto themselves that extend to affine mappings of the ambient Banach algebra are shown to be linear exactly when the Banach algebra is semi-simple. The form of such linear mappings is studied when the Banach algebra is a C*-algebra.

The separating space of a derivation onA is a separating ideal [2, Chapter 5]; it also satisfies the same property for the left products. The following assertions are of the most famous conjectures about derivations on Banach algebras: (C1) every derivation on a Banach algebra has a nilpotent separating ideal; (C2) every derivation on a semiprime Banach algebra is continuous; (C3) every derivat...

Suppose that $A$ is a semi-simple and commutative Banach algebra. In this paper we try to characterize the character space of the Banach algebra $C_{rm{BSE}}(Delta(A))$ consisting of all  BSE-functions on $Delta(A)$ where $Delta(A)$ denotes the character space of $A$. Indeed, in the case that $A=C_0(X)$ where $X$ is a non-empty locally compact Hausdroff space, we give a complete characterizatio...

We show that when a co-involutive Hopf C *-algebra S coacts via δ on a C *-algebra A, there exists a full crossed product A × δ S, with universal properties analogous to those of full crossed products by locally compact groups. The dual Hopf C *-algebra is then defined byˆS := C × id S.

We consider the natural Lie algebra structure on the (associative) group algebra of a finite group G, and show that the Lie subalgebras associated to natural involutive antiautomorphisms of this group algebra are reductive ones. We give a decomposition in simple factors of these Lie algebras, in terms of the ordinary representations of G. MSC 2000 : 20C15,17B99.

‎generalizing the notion of character amenability for banach‎ ‎algebras‎, ‎we study the concept of $varphi$-connes amenability of‎ ‎a dual banach algebra $mathcal{a}$ with predual $mathcal{a}_*$‎, ‎where $varphi$ is a homomorphism from $mathcal{a}$ onto $bbb c$‎ ‎that lies in $mathcal{a}_*$‎. ‎several characterizations of‎ ‎$varphi$-connes amenability are given‎. ‎we also prove that the‎ ‎follo...

in this paper we study the module contractibility ofbanach algebras and characterize them in terms the conceptssplitting and admissibility of short exact sequences. also weinvestigate module contractibility of banach algebras with theconcept of the module diagonal.

‎let $x$‎, ‎$y$ and $z$ be banach spaces and $f:xtimes y‎ ‎longrightarrow z$ a bounded bilinear map‎. ‎in this paper we‎ ‎study the relation between arens regularity of $f$ and the‎ ‎reflexivity of $y$‎. ‎we also give some conditions under which the‎ ‎arens regularity of a banach algebra $a$ implies the arens‎ ‎regularity of certain banach right module action of $a$‎ .
