Let A be a C∗-algebra, and let X be a Banach A-bimodule. B. E. Johnson showed that local derivations from A into X are derivations. We extend this concept of locality to the higher cohomology of a C ∗-algebra and show that, for every n ∈ N, bounded local n-cocycles from A into X are n-cocycles. The study of the local properties of Hochschild cohomology of a Banach algebra was initiated by intro...

For locally compact groups, Fourier algebras and Fourier-Stieltjes algebras have proved to be useful dual objects. They encode the representation theory of the group via the positive deenite functions on the group: positive deenite functions correspond to cyclic representations and span these algebras as linear spaces. They encode information about the algebra of the group in the geometry of th...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of generalized quasi-contractions in the setting of cone $b$-metric spaces over Banach algebras. By omitting the  assumption of normality we establish common fixed point theorems for the generalized quasi-contractions  with the spectral radius $r(lambda)$ of the quasi-contractive constant vector $lambda$ satisfying $r(lambda)in [0,frac{1}{s})$  in the set...

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...

The aim of this notes is to provide basic information about commutative Banach algebras. The final goal is to show that a unital, commutative complex Banach algebra A can be embedded as subalgebra of C(MA), the algebra of continuous functions on a w∗-compact setMA, known as the maximal ideal space or character space. Also, the non unital commutative complex Banach algebra can be embedded as a s...
