Banach valued algebras defined by a family of Banach algebras
Abstract
Let ΛΛ be a direct set, {Aα}α∈Λ{Aα}α∈Λ be a family of Banach algebras with bounded approximate identity (or unital) and II be a set. We consider the Banach algebra ℓ∞(ℓAβ(I,Aα))ℓ∞(ℓAβ(I,Aα)). We show that this algebra has a bounded approximate identity (or is unital) if and only if II is finite. We also characterize the left multipliers of these algebras and investigate their amenability of them. Moreover, we characterize the character spaces (Gelfand spaces) of these algebras in a special case.
