Extract

Suppose that A is a Banach algebra and let A be the second dual algebra of A equipped with the first Arens product 3. In this paper we characterize compact and weakly compact multipliers of A, when A possesses a bounded approximate identity and is a two sided ideal in A. We use this to study the isomorphisms between second duals of various classes of Banach algebras satisfying the above properties.
