We give a new Banach module characterization of W *-modules, also known as selfdual Hilbert C *-modules over a von Neumann algebra. This leads to a generalization of the notion, and the theory, of W *-modules, to the setting where the operator algebras are σ-weakly closed algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. That is, we find the appropriate weak* topology variant of our earlier notion of r...

Let X be a compact Hausdorff space, and let {Ax : x ∈ X} {Bx collections of Banach algebras such that each Ax is Bx-bimodule. Using the theory bundles spaces as tool, we investigate module amenability certain Ax-valued functions on over Bx-valued X.

We investigate some subtle and interesting phenomena in the du-ality theory of operator spaces and operator algebras. In particular, we give several applications of operator space theory, based on the surprising fact that certain maps are always weak *-continuous on dual operator spaces. For example , if X is a subspace of a C *-algebra A, and if a ∈ A satisfies aX ⊂ X and a * X ⊂ X, and if X i...

Let M be a Banach C*-module over a C*-algebra A carrying two A-valued inner products 〈., .〉1, 〈., .〉2 which induce equivalent to the given one norms on M. Then the appropriate unital C*-algebras of adjointable bounded A-linear operators on the Hilbert A-modules {M, 〈., .〉1} and {M, 〈., .〉2} are shown to be ∗-isomorphic if and only if there exists a bounded A-linear isomorphism S of these two Hi...

In this paper, we study approximate identity properties, some propositions from Baker, Dales, Lau in general situations and establish relationships between the topological centers of module actions factorization properties with results group algebras. We consider under which sufficient necessary conditions Banach algebra $A\widehat{\otimes}B$ is Arens regular.
