AbstractLetF ⊂ Gbe closed andA(F) = A(G)/IF. IfFis a Helson set thenA(F)**is an amenable (semisimple) Banach algebra. Our main result implies the following theorem: LetGbe a locally compact group,F ⊂ Gclosed,a ∈ G. Assume either (a) For some non-discrete closed subgroupH, the interior ofF ∩ aHinaHis non-empty, or (b)R ⊂ G, S ⊂ Ris a symmetric set andaS ⊂ F. ThenA(F)**is a non-amenable non-semisimple Banach algebra. This raises the question: How ‘thin’ canFbe forA(F)**to remain a non-amenable Banach algebra?

Suppose that H is a closed subgroup of a locally compact group G. We show that a unitary representation U of H is the restriction of a unitary representation of G if and only if a dual representation Û of a crossed product C*(G) ⋊ (G/H) is regular in an appropriate sense. We then discuss the problem of deciding whether a given representation is regular; we believe that this problem will prove to be an interesting test question in non-Abelian duality for crossed products of C*-algebras.

IfHis a closed subgroup of a locally compact groupG, withG/Hhaving finiteG-invariant measure, then, as observed by Atle Selberg [8], for any neighborhoodUof the identity inGand any elementginG, there is an integern >0 such thatgnis inU·H·U.A subgroup satisfying this latter condition is said to be anS-sub group,or satisfiesproperty (S).IfGis a solvable Lie group, then the converse of Selberg's result has been proved by S. P. Wang [10]: IfHis a closedS-subgroup ofG,thenG/His compact. Property(S)has been used by A. Borel in the important “density theorem” (see Section 2 or [1]).

Abstract. Let 𝒜 be a Banach algebra with a bounded right approximate identity and let ℬ be a closed ideal of 𝒜. We study the relationship between the right identities of the double duals ℬ** and 𝒜** under the Arens product. We show that every right identity of ℬ** can be extended to a right identity of 𝒜** in some sense. As a consequence, we answer a question of Lau and Ülger, showing that for the Fourier algebra A(G) of a locally compact group G, an element ϕ ∈ A(G)** is in A(G) if and only if A(G)ϕ ⊆ A(G) and Eϕ = ϕ for all right identities E of A(G)**. We also prove some results about the topological centers of ℬ** and 𝒜**.

AbstractFor a locally compact group G and an arbitrary subset J of [1,∞], we introduce ILJ(G) as a subspace of ⋂ p∈JLp(G) with some norm to make it a Banach space. Then, for some special choice of J, we investigate some topological and algebraic properties of ILJ(G) as a Banach algebra under a convolution product.

LetGbe a Hausdorff topological locally compact group. LetM(G)denote the Banach algebra of all complex and bounded measures onG. For all integersn≥1and allμ∈M(G), we consider the functional equations∫Gf(xty)dμ(t)=∑i=1ngi(x)hi(y),x,y∈G, where the functionsf,{gi},{hi}:G→ℂto be determined are bounded and continuous functions onG. We show how the solutions of these equations are closely related to the solutions of theμ-spherical matrix functions. WhenGis a compact group andμis a Gelfand measure, we give the set of continuous solutions of these equations.

Let G be a locally compact group, and take p,q with 1≤p,q<∞. We prove that, for any left (p,q)-multiinvariant functional on L∞(G) and for any weight function ω≥1 on G, the approximate amenability of the Banach algebra L1(G,ω) implies the left (p,q)-amenability of G, but in general the opposite is not true. Our proof uses the notion of multinorms. We also investigate the approximate amenability of M(G,ω).

In this paper, we introduce a notion of approximate Connes-biprojectivity for dual Banach algebras. We study the relation between approximate Connes-biprojectivity, approximate Connes amenability and [Formula: see text]-Connes amenability. We propose a criterion to show that certain dual triangular Banach algebras are not approximately Connes-biprojective. Next, we show that for a locally compact group [Formula: see text], the Banach algebra [Formula: see text] is approximately Connes-biprojective if and only if [Formula: see text] is amenable. Finally, for an infinite commutative compact group [Formula: see text], we show that the Banach algebra [Formula: see text] with convolution product is approximately Connes-biprojective, but it is not Connes-biprojective.

Let G be a locally compact group and be the Banach space of all essentially bounded measurable functions on G vansihing an infinity. Here, we study some families of right completely continuous elements in the Banach algebra equipped with an Arens type product. As the main result, we show that has a certain right completely continuous element if and only if G is compact.

Abstract A QSIN group is a locally compact group G whose group algebra $\mathrm L^{1}(G)$ admits a quasi-central bounded approximate identity. Examples of QSIN groups include every amenable group and every discrete group. It is shown that if G is a QSIN group, H is a closed subgroup of G, and $\pi \!: H\to \mathcal B(\mathcal{H})$ is a unitary representation of H, then $\pi$ is weakly contained in $\Big (\mathrm{Ind}_{H}^{G}\pi \Big )|_{H}$. This provides a powerful tool in studying the C*-algebras of QSIN groups. In particular, it is shown that if G is a QSIN group which contains a copy of $\mathbb{F}_{2}$ as a closed subgroup, then $\mathrm C^{\ast }(G)$ is not locally reflexive and $\mathrm C^{\ast }_{r}(G)$ does not admit the local lifting property. Further applications are drawn to the “(weak) extendability” of Fourier spaces $\mathrm A_{\pi }$ and Fourier–Stieltjes spaces $\mathrm B_{\pi }$.

LetGbe a locally compact group,Ha closed subgroup andLa Banach representation ofH. SupposeUis a Banach representation ofGwhich is induced byL. Here, we continue our program of showing that certain operators of the integrated form ofUcan be written as integral operators with continuous kernels. Specifically, we show that: (1) the representation space of a Banach bundle; (2) the above operators become integral operators on this space with kernels which are continuous cross-sections of an associated kernel bundle.
