In this paper, we show that there is a net for amenable transformation groups like Følner net for amenable groups and investigate amenability of a transformation group constructed by semidirect product of groups. We introduce inner amenability of transformation groups and characterize this property.
Let $T$ be a Banach algebra homomorphism from a Banach algebra $\mathcal B$ to a Banach algebra $\mathcal A$ with $\|T\|\leq 1$. Recently it has been obtained some results about Arens regularity and also various notions of amenability of $\mathcal A\times_{T}\mathcal B$, in the case where $\mathcal A$ is commutative. In the present paper, most of these results have been generalized and proved for an arbitrary Banach algebra $\mathcal A$.
In this paper, we study weak amenability of Beurling algebras. To this end, we introduce the notion inner quasi-additive functions and prove that for a locally compact group $G$, the Banach algebra $L^1(G, ω)$ is weakly amenable if and only if every non-inner quasi-additive function in $L^\infty(G, 1/ω)$ is unbounded. This provides an answer to the question concerning weak amenability of $L^1(G, ω)$ and improve some known results in connection with it.
In 2005, Abdollahi and Rejali, studied the relations between paradoxical decompositions and configurations for semigroups. In the present paper, we introduce another concept of amenability on semigroups and groups which includes amenability of semigroups and inner-amenability of groups. We have the previous known results to semigroups and groups satisfying this concept.
In this paper, we study the weak amenability of weighted measure algebras and prove that $M(G, ω)$ is weakly amenable if and only if $G$ is discrete and every bounded quasi-additive function is inner. We also study the weak amenability of $L^1(G, ω)^{**}$ and $M(G, ω)^{**}$ and show that the weak amenability of theses Banach algebras are equivalent to finiteness of $G$. This gives an answer to the question concerning weak amenability of $L^1(G, ω)^{**}$ and $M(G, ω)^{**}$.
In recent work of the authors the notion of a derivation being approximately semi-inner arose as a tool for investigating (approximate) amenability questions for Banach algebras. Here we investigate this property in its own right, together with the consequent one of approximately semi-amenability. Under certain hypotheses regarding approximate identities this new notion is the same as approximate amenability, but more generally it covers some important classes of algebras which are not approximately amenable, in particular Segal algebras on amenable SIN-groups.
Let $\mathfrak{A}$ be a Banach algebra, and $\mathcal{X}$ a Banach $\mathfrak{A}$-bimodule. A bounded linear mapping $\mathcal{D}:\mathfrak{A}\rightarrow \mathcal{X}$ is approximately semi-inner derivation if there eixist nets $(ξ_α)_α$ and $(μ_α)_α$ in $\mathcal{X}$ such that, for each $a\in\mathfrak{A}$, $\mathcal{D}(a)=\lim_α(a.ξ_α-μ_α.a)$. $\mathfrak{A}$ is called approximately semi-amenable if for every Banach $\mathfrak{A}$-bimodule $\mathcal{X}$, every $\mathcal{D}\in\mathcal{Z}^{1}(\mathfrak{A},\mathcal{X}^{*})$ is approximtely semi-inner. There are some Banach algebras which are appro…
As is well known, the equivalence between amenability of a locally compact group $G$ and injectivity of its von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{L}(G)$ does not hold in general beyond inner amenable groups. In this paper, we show that the equivalence persists for all locally compact groups if $\mathcal{L}(G)$ is considered as a $\mathcal{T}(L_2(G))$-module with respect to a natural action. In fact, we prove an appropriate version of this result for every locally compact quantum group.
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 the sense of Bourbaki. We prove characterizations of skew-amenability for topological groups of isometries and automorphisms, clarify the connection with extensive amenability of group actions, establish a Følner-type characterization, and discuss closure properties of the class of skew-amenable topological groups. Moreover, we isolate a dynamical sufficient condition for skew-amenability and provide several concrete variations of thi…
We study various operator homological properties of the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$. Establishing the converse of two results of Ruan and Xu, we show that $A(G)$ is relatively operator 1-projective if and only if $G$ is IN, and that $A(G)$ is relatively operator 1-flat if and only if $G$ is inner amenable. We also exhibit the first known class of groups for which $A(G)$ is not relatively operator $C$-flat for any $C\geq1$. As applications of our techniques, we establish a hereditary property of inner amenability, answer an open question of Lau and Paterson, and answer…
We study topological groups $G$ for which the universal minimal $G$-system $M(G)$, or the universal irreducible affine $G$-system $IA(G)$ are tame. We call such groups intrinsically tame and convexly intrinsically tame. These notions are generalized versions of extreme amenability and amenability, respectively. When $M(G)$, as a $G$-system, admits a circular order we say that $G$ is intrinsically circularly ordered. This implies that $G$ is intrinsically tame. We show that for every circularly ultrahomogeneous action $G \curvearrowright X$ on a circularly ordered set $X$ the topological group …
