Connes Amenability

We investigate the notion of Connes-amenability, introduced by Runde in [10], for bidual algebras and weighted semigroup algebras. We provide some simplifications to the notion of a $\sigma WC$-virtual diagonal, as introduced in [13], especially in the case of the bidual of an Arens regular Banach algebra. We apply these results to discrete, weighted, weakly cancellative semigroup algebras, showing that these behave in the same way as ${ C}^*$-algebras with regards Connes-amenability of the bidual algebra. We also show that for each one of these cancellative semigroup algebras $l^1(S,\omega)$, we have that $l^1(S,\omega)$ is Connes-amenable (with respect to the canonical predual $c_0(S)$) if and only if $l^1(S,\omega)$ is amenable, which is in turn equivalent to $S$ being an amenable group, and the weight satisfying a certain restrictive condition. This latter point was first shown by Grønnbæk in [6], but we provide a unified proof. Finally, we consider the homological notion of injectivity, and show that here, weighted semigroup algebras do not behave like ${ C}^*$-algebras.

AbstractLet Mω(X) be a weighted hypergroup algebra, and Lω(X) be the Banach algebra of measures μ ε Mω(X) such that the function x ↦ (1/ω(x))δx* |μ| is norm continuous. We characterize compact multipliers on Lω(X). This extends the characterization of compact multipliers on weighted group algebras and some classes of weighted semigroup algebras.

Connes Amenability

In this paper, we study Connes amenability of $l^1$-Munn algebras. We apply this results to semigroup algebras. We show that for a weakly cancellative semigroup $S$ with finite idempotents, amenability and Connes amenability are equivalent.

The theory of noncommutative involutive Banach algebras (briefly Banach *-algebras) owes its origin to Gelfand and Naimark, who proved in 1943 the fundamental representation theorem that a Banach *-algebra with C*-condition(C*)is *-isomorphic and isometric to a norm-closed self-adjoint subalgebra of all bounded operators on a suitable Hilbert space.At the same time they conjectured that the C*-condition can be replaced by the B*-condition.(B*)In other words any B*-algebra is actually a C*-algebra. This was shown by Glimm and Kadison [5] in 1960.

In this paper, we prove the following result by perturbation technique. If q is a quasinilpotent element of a Banach algebra and spectrum of p + q for any other quasinilpotent p contains at most n values then q n = 0 . Applications to C* algebras are given.

AbstractLet be a unital Banach algebra. Assume that a has a generalized inverse a+. Then is said to be a stable perturbation of a if . In this paper we give various conditions for stable perturbation of a generalized invertible element and show that the equation is closely related to the gap function . These results will be applied to error estimates for perturbations of the Moore-Penrose inverse in C*–algebras and the Drazin inverse in Banach algebras.

A linear mapping T from a subspace E of a Banach algebra into another Banach algebra is called spectrally bounded if there is a constant M ≥ 0 such that r(T x) ≤ Mr(x) for all x ∈ E, where r (·) denotes the spectral radius. We establish the equivalence of the following properties of a unital linear mapping T from a unital C* -algebra A into its centre:(a) T is spectrally bounded;(b) T is a spectrally bounded trace;(c) T is a bounded trace.

Semisimple Banach Algebra

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.

In this paper, the arguments and technique of [1] are used to study this question for C*-algebras (see also [10]). We determine the elementsbof a C*-algebrafor which the mapsa→ba,a→ab,a→ab+ba,a→babare compact (respectively weakly compact), determine the C*-algebras which are compact in the sense of Definition 9, of [2, p. 177] and give a characterization of the C*-automorphisms ofwhich are weakly compact perturbations of the identity.

AbstractWe show that the involution $\theta(a\otimes b)=a^*\otimes b^*$ on the Haagerup tensor product $A\otimes_{\mrm{H}}B$ of $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$ is an isometry if and only if $A$ and $B$ are commutative. The involutive Banach algebra $A\otimes_{\mrm{H}}A$ arising from the involution $a\otimes b\to b^*\otimes a^*$ is also studied.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 46L05; 46M05
