Let G be a locally compact group, and let 1 < p < ∞. In this paper we investigate the injectivity of the left L1(G)-module Lp(G). We define a family of amenability type conditions called (p, q)-amenability, for any 1 ≤ p ≤ q. For a general locally compact group G we show if Lp(G) is injective, then G must be (p, p)-amenable. For a discrete group G we prove that l p(G) is injective if and only i...

The present paper deals with the concept of left amenability for a wide range of Banach algebras known as Lau algebras. It gives a fixed point property characterizing left amenable Lau algebras in terms of left Banach -modules. It also offers an application of this result to some Lau algebras related to a locally compact group G, such as the Eymard-Fourier algebra A(G), the Fourier-Stieltjes al...

We show that amenability of a group acting by homeomorphisms can be deduced from a certain local property of the action and recurrency of the orbital Schreier graphs. This applies to a wide class of groups, amenability of which was an open problem, as well as unifies many known examples to one general proof. In particular, this includes Grigorchuk’s group, Basilica group, groups associated with...

We argue that weak containment is an appropriate notion of amenability for inverse semigroups. Given an inverse semigroup S and a homomorphism φ of S onto a group G, we show, under an assumption on ker(φ), that S has weak containment if and only if G is amenable and ker(φ) has weak containment. Using Fell bundle amenability, we find a related result for inverse semigroups with zero. We show tha...

We study skew-amenable topological groups, i.e., those admitting a left-invariant mean on the space of bounded real-valued functions left-uniformly continuous in sense Bourbaki. prove characterizations skew-amenability for groups isometries and automorphisms, clarify connection with extensive amenability group actions, establish Følner-type characterization, discuss closure properties class gro...

Using the recently developed notion of a Herz-Schur multiplier C*-dynamical system we introduce weak amenability C*- and W*-dynamical systems. As special case recover Haagerup's characterisation discrete group. We also consider generalisation Fourier algebra its multipliers to crossed products.

We prove that $Out(F_N)$ is boundary amenable. This also holds more generally for $Out(G)$, where $G$ either a toral relatively hyperbolic group or right-angled Artin group. As consequence, all these groups satisfy the Novikov conjecture on higher signatures.

In this paper, we introduce actions of fusion algebras on unital $$C^*$$ -algebras, and define amenability for algebraic actions. Motivated by S. Neshveyev et al.’s work, considering the representation ring a compact quantum group as algebra, canonical (for short, CFA) form discrete action space. Furthermore, through CFA form, FA-amenability actions, present some basic connections between FA-am...
