Let $UC(K)$ denote the Banach space of all bounded uniformly continuous functions on a hypergroup $K$. The main results of this article concern on the $alpha$-amenability of $UC(K)$ and quotients and products of hypergroups. It is also shown that a Sturm-Liouville hypergroup with a positive index is $alpha$-amenable if and only if $alpha=1$.
We study the existence of multiplier (completely) bounded approximate identities for the Fourier algebras of some classes of hypergroups. In particular we show that, a large class of commutative hypergroups are weakly amenable with the Cowling-Haagerup constant 1. As a corollary, we answer an open question of Eymard on Jacobi hypergroups. We also characterize the existence of bounded approximate identities for the hypergroup Fourier algebras of ultraspherical hypergroups.
Let $K$ denote a locally compact commutative hypergroup, $L^1(K)$ the hypergroup algebra, and $alpha$ a real-valued hermitian character of $K$. We show that $K$ is $alpha$-amenable if and only if $L^1(K)$ is $alpha$-left amenable. We also consider the $alpha$-amenability of hypergroup joins and polynomial hypergroups in several variables as well as a single variable.
In this paper, we characterize hypercyclic sequences of weighted translation operators on an Orlicz space in the context of locally compact hypergroups.
In this paper, for a locally compact commutative hypergroup $K$ and for a pair $(Phi_1, Phi_2)$ of Young functions satisfying sequence condition, we give a necessary condition in terms of aperiodic elements of the center of $K,$ for the convolution $fast g$ to exist a.e., where $f$ and $g$ are arbitrary elements of Orlicz spaces $L^{Phi_1}(K)$ and $L^{Phi_2}(K)$, respectively. As an application, we present some equivalent conditions for compactness of a compactly generated locally compact abelian group. Moreover, we also characterize compact convolution operators from $L^1_w(K)$ into $L^Phi_w(K)$ for a weight $w$ on a locally compact hypergroup $K$.
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.
