    A type of GNS-construction for Banach algebras

    Full text link
    We show that every Banach algebra A admits a representation on a certain Banach space E. In particular, any Banach algebra A contained in autoperiodic functionals on A such that separate the points of A could be imbedded in B(E) for some reflexive Banach space E

    Solubility of groups can be characterized by configuration

    Full text link
    The concept of configuration was first introduced by Rosenblatt and Willis to give a characterization for the amenability of groups. We show that group properties of being soluble or FC can be characterized by configuration sets. Then we investigate some condition on configuration pairs, which leads to isomorphism. We introduce a somewhat different notion of configuration equivalence, namely strong configuration equivalence, and prove that strong configuration equivalence coincides with isomorphism.Comment: 19 page

    On the Arens regularity of the Herz Algebra

    Full text link
    Let GG be a locally compact group, Ap(G)A_p (G) be the Herz algebra of GG associated with 1<p<1 <p< \infty. We show that Ap(G)A_p (G) is Arens regular if and only if GG is a discrete group and for each countable subgroup HH of GG, Ap(H)A_p (H) is Arens regular. In the case GG is a countable discrete group we investigate the relations between Arens regularity of Ap(G)A_p (G) and the iterated limit condition. We consider the problem of Arens regularity of l1(G)l^1 (G) as a subspace of Ap(G)A_p (G). A few related results when the unit ball of (l1(G),.,Ap(G))(l^1 (G),.,A_p(G)) is bounded under .1\|.\|_1-norm are also determined

    Configuration Equivalence is not Equivalent to Isomorphism

    Full text link
    Giving a condition for the the amenability of groups, Rosenblatt and Willis, first introduced the concept of configuration. From the beginning of the theory, the question whether the concept of configuration equivalence coincides with the concept of group isomorphism was posed. We negatively answer this open question by introducing two non-isomorphic, solvable and hence amenable groups which are configuration equivalent. Also, we will study some types of subgroups in configuration equivalent groups. In particular, we will prove this conjecture, due to Rosenblatt and Willis, that configuration equivalent groups, both include the free non-Abelian group of same rank or not. Finally, we prove that two-sided equivalent groups have same class numbers

    Configuration of nilpotent groups and isomorphism

    Full text link
    The concept of configuration was first introduced by Rosenblatt and Willis to give a condition for amenability of groups. We show that if G1G_1 and G2G_2 have the same configuration sets and H1H_1 is a normal subgroup of G1G_1 with abelian quotient, then there is a normal subgroup H2H_2 of G2G_2 such that G1H1G2H2.\frac{G_1}{H_1}\cong\frac{G_2}{H_2}. Also configuration of FC-groups and isomorphism is studied.Comment: to appear in Journal of Algebra and its Application

    Amenability of groups and semigroups characterized by Configuration

    Full text link
    In 2005, Abdollahi and Rejali, studied the relations between paradoxical decompositions and configurations for semigroups. In the present paper, we introduce another concept of amenability on semigroups and groups which includes amenability of semigroups and inner-amenability of groups. We have the previous known results to semigroups and groups satisfying this concept.Comment: 12 pages, 0 figure

    Weakly almost periodic Banach algebras on semi-groups

    Full text link
    Let WAP(A) be the space of all weakly almost periodic functionals on a Banach algebra A. The Banach algebra A for which the natural embedding of A into WAP(A)* is bounded below is called a WAP-algebra. We show that the second dual of a Banach algebra A is a WAP-algebra, under each Arens products, if and only if A** is a dual Banach algebra. This is equivalent to the Arens regularity of A. For a locally compact foundation semigroup S, we show that the absolutely continuous semigroup measure algebra M_a(S) is a WAP-algebra if and only if the measure algebra M_b(S) is so

    First cohomology on weighted semigroup algebras

    Full text link
    The aim of this work is to generalize Johnson's techniques in order to apply them to establish a bijective correspondence between SS-derivations and continuous derivations on Ma(S,ω),M_a(S,\omega), where SS is a locally compact foundation semigroup with identity ee, and ω\omega is a weight function on SS, and apply it to find a necessary condition for amenability of weighted group algebras.Comment: 12 page

    Topological Invariant Means on dual Space of Multiplier algebra and weakly compact Multiplier on Herz-algebra

    Full text link
    In this paper we investigate the compact and weakly compact multipliers of the Herz-algebras Ap(G)A_p(G). Let Bp(G)B_p(G) be the space of pointwise multipliers of Ap(G)A_p(G). We show that there is a topological invariant mean on Bp(G)B^*_p (G). Furthermore, we show that if Bp(G)B^*_p(G) is separable, then GG is a discrete group
