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 .

AbstractWe show that, if a Banach algebra is a left ideal in its second dual algebra and has a left bounded approximate identity, then the weak amenability of implies the (2m+ 1)-weak amenability of for all m ≥ 1.

Let [Ufr ] be an associative Banach algebra. Given a set S, we write l∞(S, [Ufr ]) for the Banach algebra of all bounded functions f: S→[Ufr ] with the usual norm ∥f∥∞ = sups∈S∥f(s)∥[Ufr ] and pointwise multiplication. When S is countable, we simply write l∈([Ufr ]).In this short note, we exhibit examples of amenable (resp. weakly amenable) Banach algebras [Ufr ] for which l∈(S, [Ufr ]) fails to be amenable (resp. weakly amenable), thus solving a problem raised by Gourdeau in [7] and [8]. We refer the reader to [4, 9, 10] for background on amenability and weak amenability. For basic information about the Arens product in the second dual of a Banach algebra the reader can consult [5, 6].

AbstractWe show that for n≥2, n-weak amenability of the second dual 𝒜** of a Banach algebra 𝒜 implies that of 𝒜. We also provide a positive answer for the case n=1, which sharpens some older results. Our method of proof also provides a unified approach to give short proofs for some known results in the case where n=1.

Let A be a Banach algebra and ( A ″, □) be its second dual with first Arens product. The third dual of A can be regarded as dual of A ″ ( A ‴ = ( A ″)′) or as the second dual of A ′ ( A ‴ = ( A ′)″), so there are two ( A ″, □)-bimodule structures on A ‴ that are not always equal. This paper determines the conditions that make these structures equal. As a consequence, there are some relations between weak amenability of A and ( A ″, □).

AbstractLet A be a Banach algebra, E be a Banach A-bimodule and Δ E → A be a bounded Banach A-bimodule homomorphism. It is shown that under some mild conditions, the weakΔ''-amenability of E'' (as an A''-bimodule) necessitates weak Δ-amenability of E (as an A-bimodule). Some examples of weak-amenable Banach modules are provided as well.

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].

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.
