Abstract Let Ap(G) be the Figa-Talamanca, Herz Banach Algebra on G; thus A2(G) is the Fourier algebra. Strong Ditkin (SD) and Extremely Strong Ditkin (ESD) sets for the Banach algebras Apr (G) are investigated for abelian and nonabelian locally compact groups G. It is shown that SD and ESD sets for Ap(G) remain SD and ESD sets for Apr(G), with strict inclusion for ESD sets. The case for the strict inclusion of SD sets is left open.A result on the weak sequential completeness of A2(F) for ESD sets F is proved and used to show that Varopoulos, Helson, and Sidon sets are not ESD sets for A2r(G), yet they are such for A2(G) for discrete groups G, for any 1 ≤ r ≤ 2.A result is given on the equivalence of the sequential and the net definitions of SD or ESD sets for σ-compact groups.The above results are new even if G is abelian.

AbstractA number of well-known results of Ghahramani and Loy on the essential amenability of Banach algebras are generalized. It is proved that a symmetric abstract Segal algebra with respect to an amenable Banach algebra is essentially amenable. Applications to locally compact groups are given.

AbstractFor a Banach algebra 𝒜 and a character ϕ on 𝒜, we introduce and study the notion of essential ϕ-amenability of 𝒜. We give some examples to show that the class of essentially ϕ-amenable Banach algebras is larger than that of ϕ-amenable Banach algebras introduced by Kaniuth et al. [‘On ϕ-amenability of Banach algebras’, Math. Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc.144 (2008), 85–96]. Finally, we characterize the essential ϕ-amenability of various Banach algebras related to locally compact groups.

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.

A Banach algebra $A$ is said to be a zero Jordan product determined Banach algebra if, for every Banach space $X$ , every bilinear map $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}:A\times A\rightarrow X$ satisfying $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}(a,b)=0$ whenever $a$ , $b\in A$ are such that $ab+ba=0$ , is of the form $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}(a,b)=\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}(ab+ba)$ for some continuous linear map $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}$ . We show that all $C^{\ast }$ -algebras and all group algebras $L^{1}(G)$ of amenable locally compact groups have this property and also discuss some applications.

AbstractIn this paper we give a necessary and sufficient condition under which the answer to the open problem raised by Ghahramani and Lau (‘Multipliers and modulus on Banach algebras related to locally compact groups’, J. Funct. Anal. 150 (1997), 478–497) is positive.

AbstractWe introduce and investigate using Hilbert modules the properties of the Fourier algebra A(G) for a locally compact groupoid G. We establish a duality theorem for such groupoids in terms of multiplicative module maps. This includes as a special case the classical duality theorem for locally compact groups proved by P. Eymard.
