We examine the condition that a complex Banach algebra $A$ have dense invertible group. We show that, for commutative algebras, this property is preserved by integral extensions. We also investigate the connections with an old problem in the theory of uniform algebras.

Associated to a nonzero homomorphism $varphi$ of a Banach algebra $A$, we regard special functionals, say $m_varphi$, on certain subspaces of $A^ast$ which provide equivalent statements to the existence of a bounded right approximate identity in the corresponding maximal ideal in $A$. For instance, applying a fixed point theorem yields an equivalent statement to the existence of a $m_varphi$ on $A^ast$; and, in addition we expatiate the case that if a functional $m_varphi$ is unique, then $m_varphi$ belongs to the topological center of the bidual algebra $A^{astast}$. An example of a function algebra, surprisingly, contradicts a conjecture that a Banach algebra $A$ is amenable if $A$ is $varphi$-amenable in every character $varphi$ and if functionals $m_varphi$ associated to the characters $varphi$ are uniformly bounded. Aforementioned are also elaborated on the direct sum of two given Banach algebras.
For a tuple $A=(A_0, A_1, ..., A_n)$ of elements in a unital Banach algebra ${mathcal B}$, its {em projective spectrum} $p(A)$ is defined to be the collection of $z=[z_0, z_1, ..., z_n]in pn$ such that $A(z)=z_0A_0+z_1A_1+... +z_nA_n$ is not invertible in ${mathcal B}$. The pre-image of $p(A)$ in ${cc}^{n+1}$ is denoted by $P(A)$. When ${mathcal B}$ is the $ktimes k$ matrix algebra $M_k(cc)$, the projective spectrum is a projective hypersurface. In infinite dimensional cases, projective spectrums can be very complicated, but also have some properties similar to that of hypersurfaces. When $A$ is commutative, $P(A)$ is a union of hyperplanes. When ${mathcal B}$ is reflexive or is a $C^*$-algebra, the {em projective resolvent set} $P^c(A):=cc^{n+1}setminus P(A)$ is shown to be a disjoint union of domains of holomorphy. Later part of this paper studies Maurer-Cartan type ${mathcal B}$-valued 1-form $A^{-1}(z)dA(z)$ on $P^c(A)$. As a consequence, we show that if ${mathcal B}$ is a $C^*$-algebra with a trace $phi$, then $phi(A^{-1}(z)dA(z))$ is a nontrivial element in the de Rham cohomology space $H^1_d(P^c(A), cc)$.
The use of the properties of actions on an algebra to enrich the study of the algebra is well-trodden and still fashionable. Here, the notion and study of endomorphic elements of (Banach) algebras are introduced. This study is initiated, in the hope that it will open up, further, the structure of (Banach) algebras in general, enrich the study of endomorphisms and provide examples. In particular, here, we use it to classify algebras for the convenience of our study. We also present results on the structure of some classes of endomorphic elements and bring out the contrast with idempotents.
In the sequel we establish the Banach Principle for semifinite JW-algebras without direct summand of type I sub 2, which extends the recent results of Chilin and Litvinov on the Banach Principle for semifinite von Neumann algebras to the case of JW-algebras.
A Banach algebra $A$ is said to be a zero Jordan product determined Banach algebra if every continuous bilinear map $varphicolon Atimes Ato X$, where $X$ is an arbitrary Banach space, which satisfies $varphi(a,b)=0$ whenever $a$, $bin A$ are such that $ab+ba=0$, is of the form $varphi(a,b)=sigma(ab+ba)$ for some continuous linear map $sigma$. We show that all $C^*$-algebras and all group algebras $L^1(G)$ of amenable locally compact groups have this property, and also discuss some applications.
