It is shown that if the soclesoc(A)of a semisimple Banach algebraAis norm-closed, thensoc(A)is already finite dimensional. The proof makes use of the Al-Moajil theorem. However it is remarked that our main theorem is an extension of the Al-Moajil's.

In this note we present some rather loosely connected results on Banach algebras together with some illustrative examples. We consider various conditions on a Banach algebra which imply that it is finite dimensional. We also consider conditions which imply the existence of non-zero nilpotents, and hence the existence of finite dimensional subalgebras. In the setting of Banach algebras quasinilpotents figure more prominently than nilpotents. We give an example of a non-commutative Banach algebra in which 0 is the only quasinilpotent; this resolves a problem of Hirschfeld and Zelazko (4).

The purpose of this note is to describe some algebraic conditions on a Banach algebra which force it to be finite dimensional. We shall assume throughout that we are dealing with Banach algebras over the field of complex numbers,C.

AbstractThe paper [3] proved a necessary algebraic condition for a Banach algebra A with finite-dimensional radical R to have a unique complete (algebra) norm, and conjectured that this condition is also sufficient. We extend the above theorem. The conjecture is confirmed in the case where A is separable and A/R is commutative, but is shown to fail in general. Similar questions for derivations are discussed.

A. M. Sinclair has proved that if is a semisimple Banach algebra then every continuous Jordan derivation from into is a derivation ([12, theorem 3·3]; ‘Jordan derivation’ is denned in Section 6 below). If is a Banach -bimodule one can consider Jordan derivations from into and ask whether Sinclair's theorem is still true. More recent work in this area appears in [1]. Simple examples show that it cannot hold for all modules and all semisimple algebras. However, for more restricted classes of algebras, including C*-algebras one does get a positive result and we develop two approaches. The first depends on symmetric amenability, a development of the theory of amenable Banach algebras which we present here for the first time in Sections 2, 3 and 4. A Banach algebra is symmetrically amenable if it has an approximate diagonal consisting of symmetric tensors. Most, but not all, amenable Banach algebras are symmetrically amenable and one can prove results for symmetric amenability similar to those in [8] for amenability. However, unlike amenability, symmetric amenability does not seem to have a concise homological characterisation. One of our results [Theorem 6·2] is that if is symmetrically amenable then every continuous Jordan derivation into an -bimodule is a derivation. Special techniques enable this result to be extended to other algebras, for example all C*-algebras. This approach to Jordan derivations appears in Section 6.

Let ${\mathcal{A}}$ be a semisimple Banach algebra with minimal left ideals and $\text{soc}({\mathcal{A}})$ be the socle of ${\mathcal{A}}$ . We prove that if $\text{soc}({\mathcal{A}})$ is an essential ideal of ${\mathcal{A}}$ , then every 2-local derivation on ${\mathcal{A}}$ is a derivation. As applications of this result, we can easily show that every 2-local derivation on some algebras, such as semisimple modular annihilator Banach algebras, strongly double triangle subspace lattice algebras and ${\mathcal{J}}$ -subspace lattice algebras, is a derivation.

Let A be a Banach algebra and A** its second conjugate space. Arens has denned two natural extensions of the product on A to A**. Under either Arens product, A** becomes a Banach algebra. Let A be a semisimple Banach algebra which is a dense two-sided ideal of a B*-algebra B and R** the radical of (A**, o). We show that A** = Q ⊕ R**, where Q is a closed two-sided ideal of A**, o). This was inspired by Alexander's recent result for simple dual A*-algebras (see [1, p. 573, Theorem 5]). We also obtain that if A is commutative, then A is Arens regular.

AbstractLet 𝔄 be a unital Banach algebra and ℜ its Jacobson radical. This paper investigates Banach algebras satisfying some chain conditions on closed ideals. In particular, it is shown that a Banach algebra 𝔄 satisfies the descending chain condition on closed left ideals then 𝔄/ℜ is finite dimensional. We also prove that a C*-algebra satisfies the ascending chain condition on left annihilators if and only if it is finite dimensional. Moreover, other auxiliary results are established.

Given a Banach algebraA, the compactum ofAis defined to be the set of elementsx∈Asuch that the operatora→xaxis compact. General properties of the compactum and its relation to the socle ofAare discussed. Characterizations of finite dimensionality of a semi-simple Banach algebra are given in terms of the compactum and the socle ofA.

AbstractLet S be the semigroup with identity, generated by x and y, subject to y being invertible and yx = xy2. We study two Banach algebra completions of the semigroup algebra ℂS. Both completions are shown to be left-primitive and have separating families of irreducible infinite-dimensional right modules. As an appendix, we offer an alternative proof that ℂS is left-primitive but not right-primitive. We show further that, in contrast to the completions, every irreducible right module for ℂS is finite dimensional and hence that ℂS has a separating family of such modules.
