Let A be a commutative Banach algebra with identity 1 over the complex field C, and let d0 be a character on A. We recall that a (higher) point derivation of order q on A at d0 is a sequence d1, …, dq of linear functionals on A such that the identitieshold for each choice of f and g in A and k in {1, …, q}. A point derivation of infinite order is an infinite sequence {dk} of linear functionals such that (1.1) holds for all k. A point derivation is continuous if each dk is continuous, totally discontinuous if dk is discontinuous for each k≧1, and degenerate if d1 = 0.

Beurling Algebras

Let $A$ be a unitary commutative Banach algebra with unit $e$. For $f\in A$ we denote by $\hat f$ the Gelfand transform of $f$ defined on $\hat A$, the set of maximal ideals of $A$. Let $(f_1,\dots,f_n)\in A^n$ be such that $\sum_{i=1}^n\|f_i\|^2 \leq 1$. We study here the existence of solutions $(g_1,\dots,g_n)\in A^n$ to the Bezout equation $f_1g_1+\cdots+f_ng_n=e$, whose norm is controlled by a function of $n$ and $\delta=\inf_{\chi\in\hat A}(|\hat f_1(\chi)|^2+\cdots+|\hat f_n(\chi)|^2)^{1/2}$. We treat this problem for the analytic Beurling algebras and their quotient by closed ideals. The general Banach algebras with compact Gelfand transform are also considered.

The Continuum

The long open problem raised by I. Kaplansky if, for an infinite compact Hausdorff space X, there is a discontinuous homomorphism from (X) into a Banach algebra was settled in the 1970s, independently, by H. G. Dales and J. Esterle. If the continuum hypothesis is assumed, then there is a discontinuous homomorphism from (X) (see [8] for a survey of both approaches and [9] for a unified exposition). The techniques developed by Dales and Esterle are powerful enough to yield discontinuous homomorphisms from commutative Banach algebras other than (X). In fact, every commutative Banach algebra with infinitely many characters is the domain of a discontinuous homomorphism ([7]).

Let A be a commutative Banach algebra, D a closed derivation defined on a subalgebra Δ of A, and with range in A. The elements of Δ may be called derivable in the obvious sense. For each integer k ≦.l, denote by Δk the domain of Dk (so that Dgr;1 = Δ); it is a simple consequence of Leibniz's formula that each Δk is an algebra. The classical example of this situation is A = C(O, 1) under the supremum norm with D ordinary differentiation, and here Δk = Ck(0, 1) is a Banach algebra under the norm ∥.∥k: Furthermore, the maximal ideals of Ak are precisely those subsets of Δk of the form M ∩ Δk where M is a maximal ideal of A, and = M, the bar denoting closure in A. In the present note we show how this extends to the general case.

Amalgamated Duplication

Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be Banach algebras such that [Formula: see text] is a Banach [Formula: see text]-bimodule with compatible actions. We define the product [Formula: see text], which is a strongly splitting Banach algebra extension of [Formula: see text] by [Formula: see text]. After characterization of the multiplier algebra, topological center, (maximal) ideals and spectrum of [Formula: see text], we restrict our investigation to the study of semisimplicity, regularity, Arens regularity of [Formula: see text] in relation to that of the algebras [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the action of [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text]. We also compute the first cohomology group [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text] as well as the first-order cyclic cohomology group [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the [Formula: see text]th dual space of [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] itself when [Formula: see text]. These results are not only of interest in their own right, but also they pave the way for obtaining some new results for Lau products and module extensions of Banach algebras as well as triangular Banach algebra. Finally, special attention is devoted to the cyclic and [Formula: see text]-weak amenability of [Formula: see text]. In this context, several open questions arise.

This paper is concerned with a generalization of some recent theorems of Hausner (1) and Johnson (4; 5). Their result can be summarized as follows: Let G be a locally compact abelian group, A a commutative Banach algebra, B1 = Bl(G,A) the (commutative Banach) algebra of A-valued, Bochner integrable junctions on G, 3m1the maximal ideal space of A, m2the maximal ideal space of L1(G) [the [commutative Banach] algebra of complex-valued, Haar integrable functions on G, m3the maximal ideal space of B1. Then m3and the Cartesian product m1 X m2are homeomorphic when the spaces mi, i = 1, 2, 3, are given their weak* topologies. Furthermore, the association between m3and m1 X m2is such as to permit a description of any epimorphism E3: B1 → B1/m3 in terms of related epimorphisms E1: A → A/M1 and E2:L1(G) → Ll(G)/M2, where M1 is in mi i = 1, 2, 3.

We consider the problem of amenability for a commutative Banach algebra. The question of amenability for a Banach algebra was first studied by B. E. Johnson in 1972, in [5]. The most recent contributions, to our knowledge, are papers by Bade, Curtis and Dales [1], and by Curtis and Loy [3]. In the first, amenability for Lipschitz algebras on a compact metric space K is studied. Using the fact, which they prove, that LipαK is isometrically isomorphic to the second dual of lipαK, for 0 < α < 1, they show that lipαK is not amenable when K is infinite and 0 < α < 1. In the second paper, the authors prove, without using any serious cohomology theory, some results proved earlier by Khelemskii and Scheinberg [8] using cohomology. They also discuss the amenability of Lipschitz algebras, using the result that a weakly complemented closed two-sided ideal in an amenable Banach algebra has a bounded approximate identity. Their result is stronger than that of [1].

Natural Way

A monothetic semigroup is a topological semigroup with jointly continuous multiplication which contains a dense cyclic subsemigroup. These semi-groups arise in a natural way in the study of semi-algebras. In (4) we showed that a compact monothetic semigroup in a Banach algebra can be characterized in terms of the spectral properties of a generating element. In this paper these spectral theorems are linked with the well-known structure theory of compact semigroups.
