We focus on a question raised by Daws [‘Arens regularity of the algebra of operators on a Banach space’, Bull. Lond. Math. Soc.36 (2004), 493–503] concerning the Arens regularity of $B(X)$, the algebra of operators on a Banach space $X$. Among other things, we show that $B(X)$ is Arens regular if and only if $X$ is ultrareflexive.
Let G be a locally compact group and H be a compact subgroup of G. Using a general criterion established by Neufang [‘A unified approach to the topological centre problem for certain Banach algebras arising in abstract harmonic analysis’, Arch. Math.82(2) (2004), 164–171], we show that the Banach algebra L1(G/H) is strongly Arens irregular for a large class of locally compact groups.
We 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.
