AbstractThe second dual of the vector-valued function space C0(S, A) is characterized in terms of generalized functions in the case where A* and A** have the Radon-Nikodým property. As an application we present a simple proof that C0 (S, A) is Arens regular if and only if A is Arens regular in this case. A representation theorem of the measure μh is given, where , h ∈ L∞ (|μ;|, A**) and μh is defined by the Arens product.

Let A be a Banach algebra, and let D: A → A* be a continuous derivation, where A* is the topological dual space of A. The paper discusses the situation when the second transpose D**: A** → (A**)* is also a derivation in the case where A** has the first Arens product.

Let  be a Banach algebra and let ** be the second dual algebra of  endowed with the first or the second Arens product. We investigate relations between amenability of ** and Arens regularity of  and the rôle topological centres in amenability of **. We also find conditions under which weak amenability of ** implies weak amenability of .

LetAbe anA*-algebra and letdenote its auxiliary norm closure. The multiplier algebras of dualA*-algebras of the first kind have been studed by Tomiuk [12], [13] and Wong[15]. In this paper we study the double multiplier algebra ofA*-algebras of the first kind. In particular, we prove that, ifAis anA*-algebra of the first kind, then the double multiplier algebraM(A) ofAis *-isomorphic and (auxiliary norm) isometric to a subalgebra ofM(), extending in the process some results established by Tomiuk[12]. We also consider the embedding of the double multiplier algebra ofAin**, when the latter is regarded as an algebra with the Arens product, and, in particular, we show that, for an annihilator A*-algebra,M(A) is *-isomorphic and (auxiliary norm) isometric to**.

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.

Abstract. Let 𝒜 be a Banach algebra with a bounded right approximate identity and let ℬ be a closed ideal of 𝒜. We study the relationship between the right identities of the double duals ℬ** and 𝒜** under the Arens product. We show that every right identity of ℬ** can be extended to a right identity of 𝒜** in some sense. As a consequence, we answer a question of Lau and Ülger, showing that for the Fourier algebra A(G) of a locally compact group G, an element ϕ ∈ A(G)** is in A(G) if and only if A(G)ϕ ⊆ A(G) and Eϕ = ϕ for all right identities E of A(G)**. We also prove some results about the topological centers of ℬ** and 𝒜**.
