We study the classes of invariant and natural projections in the dual of a Banach algebra $A$. These type of projections are relevant by their connections with the existence problem of bounded approximate identities in closed ideals of Banach algebras. It is known that any invariant projection is a natural projection. In this article we consider the issue of when a natural projection is an invariant projection.

An algebra A factors if, for each a ∈ A, there exist b, c ∈ A with a = bc. A bounded approximate identity for a Banach algebra A is a net (eα) ⊂ A such that aeα → a and eαa → a for each a ∈ A and such that sup ‖eα ‖ < ∞. It is well known [2, 11.10] that if A has a bounded approximate identity, then A factors. But a Banach algebra may factor even if it does not have a bounded approximate identity: an example which is non-commutative and separable, and an example which is commutative and nonseparable, are given in [3, §22]. However, we do not know an example of a commutative, separable Banach algebra which factors, but which does not have a bounded approximate identity. See 4 for related work.

Cohen's Factorization Theorem says, in its basic form, that if A is a Banach algebra with a bounded left approximate identity, then every element x ∈ A may be written as a product x = ay for some a, y ∈ A. Such is the beauty and importance of this result that much interest attaches to the question of whether the hypothesis of a bounded left approximate identity can be weakened, or whether a converse result exists. This paper contributes to the study of that question.

1. Introduction. The aim of this paper is to show that, in every complex Banach algebra with a one-sided or two-sided bounded approximate identity, there exists another bounded approximate identity of the same sort whose spectra lie close to the unit interval [0, 1].

LetAbe a ternary Banach algebra. We prove that ifAhas a left-bounded approximating set, thenAhas a left-bounded approximate identity. Moreover, we show that ifAhas bounded left and right approximate identities, thenAhas a bounded approximate identity. Hence, we prove Altman’s Theorem and Dixon’s Theorem for ternary Banach algebras.

Abstract Let $(G_1,\omega _1)$ and $(G_2,\omega _2)$ be weighted discrete groups and $0\lt p\leq 1$ . We characterise biseparating bicontinuous algebra isomorphisms on the p-Banach algebra $\ell ^p(G_1,\omega _1)$ . We also characterise bipositive and isometric algebra isomorphisms between the p-Banach algebras $\ell ^p(G_1,\omega _1)$ and $\ell ^p(G_2,\omega _2)$ and isometric algebra isomorphisms between $\ell ^p(S_1,\omega _1)$ and $\ell ^p(S_2,\omega _2)$ , where $(S_1,\omega _1)$ and $(S_2,\omega _2)$ are weighted discrete semigroups.

We prove that each surjective Jordan homomorphism from a Banach algebra [Formula: see text] onto a semiprime commutative Banach algebra [Formula: see text] is a homomorphism, and each 5-Jordan homomorphism from a unital Banach algebra [Formula: see text] into a semisimple commutative Banach algebra [Formula: see text] is a 5-homomorphism.

Let B(X) denote the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Banach space X. Let t be an element of B(X), and let edenote the identity operator on X. Since the earliest days of the theory of Banach algebras, ithas been understood that the natural setting within which to study spectral properties of t is the Banach algebra B(X), or perhaps a closed subalgebra of B(X) containing t and e. The effective application of this method to a given class of operators depends upon first translating the data into terms involving only the Banach algebra structure of B(X) without reference to the underlying space X. In particular, the appropriate topology is the norm topology in B(X) given by the usual operator norm. Theorem 1 carries out this translation for the class of compact operators t. It is proved that if t is compact, then multiplication by t is a compact linear operator on the closed subalgebra of B(X) consisting of operators that commute with t.

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.
