Amenable Banach algebra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Amenable algebra)

In mathematics, specifically in functional analysis, a Banach algebra, A, is amenable if all bounded derivations from A into dual Banach A-bimodules are inner (that is of the form for some in the dual module).

An equivalent characterization is that A is amenable if and only if it has a virtual diagonal.
