Amenable Banach Algebra

We show that a subspace of a Banach space having the approximation property inherits this property if and only if it is approximately complemented in the space. For an amenable Banach algebra a closed left, right or two-sided ideal admits a bounded right, left or two-sided approximate identity if and only if it is bounded approximately complemented in the algebra. If an amenable Banach algebra has a symmetric diagonal, then a closed left (right) ideal $J$ has a right (resp. left) approximate identity $(p_{\alpha})$ such that, for every compact subset $K$ of $J$, the net $(a\cdot p_{\alpha})$ (resp. $(p_{\alpha}\cdot a)$) converges to $a$ uniformly for $a \in K$ if and only if $J$ is approximately complemented in the algebra.

Unique Maximal Ideal

AbstractA recent result of Leung (Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2015) states that the Banach algebra ℬ(X) of bounded, linear operators on the Banach space X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ∞n)ℓ1 contains a unique maximal ideal. We show that the same conclusion holds true for the Banach spaces X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ∞n)ℓp and X = (⊕n∈$\mathbb{N}$ ℓ1n)ℓp whenever p ∈ (1, ∞).

Let E be a Banach space, and let N(E) be the Banach algebra of all nuclear operators on E. In this work, we shall study the homological properties of this algebra. Some of these properties turn out to be equivalent to the (Grothendieck) approximation property for E. These include:(i) biprojectivity of N(E);(ii) biflatness of N(E);(iii) homological finite-dimensionality of N(E);(iv) vanishing of the three-dimensional cohomology group, H3(N(E), N(E)).

Second Dual

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].

Semisimple Banach Algebra

AbstractLetF ⊂ Gbe closed andA(F) = A(G)/IF. IfFis a Helson set thenA(F)**is an amenable (semisimple) Banach algebra. Our main result implies the following theorem: LetGbe a locally compact group,F ⊂ Gclosed,a ∈ G. Assume either (a) For some non-discrete closed subgroupH, the interior ofF ∩ aHinaHis non-empty, or (b)R ⊂ G, S ⊂ Ris a symmetric set andaS ⊂ F. ThenA(F)**is a non-amenable non-semisimple Banach algebra. This raises the question: How ‘thin’ canFbe forA(F)**to remain a non-amenable Banach algebra?

In [4] and [5], R. C. James introduced a non-reflexive Banach space J which is isometric to its second dual. Developing new techniques in the theory of Schauder bases, James identified J**, showed that the canonical image of J in J** is of codimension one, and proved that J** is isometric to J.In Section 2 of this paper we show that J, equipped with an equivalent norm, is a semi-simple (commutative) Banach algebra under point wise multiplication, and we determine its closed ideals. We use the Arens multiplication and the Gelfand transform to identify J**, which is in fact just the algebra obtained from J by adjoining an identity.

Uniform Norm

In this note “vector space” will mean “Banach space” unless otherwise specified. Accordingly “Lie algebra” will stand for “Banach Lie algebra”. Morphisms between Lie algebras will be assumed continuous. A Banach algebra B will be always assumed associative, and it will be also viewed as a Lie algebra with product [X, YXY− YX. In particular, the Lie algebra gl(V) of endomorphisms of a vector space V will be equipped with the uniform norm. A morphism of Lie algebras L → gl(V) will b called a representation of L in gl(V). Also, if B is a Banach algebra, a morphism of Lie algebras L → B will be called a representation of L in B. From such one evidently obtains a representation of L in gl(B). A representation will be called faithful if it is injective.

Given a norm unitary u∈A, we have Sp(u)⊃Γ, where Sp(u) denotes the spectrum of u and Γ denotes the unit circle in C. If Sp(u)≠Γ we may suppose, by replacing eiθu, that . Then there exists h ∈ A such that

Let E be a real Banach space. The set of all continuous linear mappings of E into E is a Banach algebra under the usual algebraic operations and the operator bound as norm. We denote this Banach algebra by ℒ, if E is a separate Hilbert space.
