The notion of amenability has its origins in the beginnings of modern measure theory: Does a finitely additive set function exist which is invariant under a cer

The subject of amenability has its roots in the work of Lebesgue at the turn of the century. In the 1940s, the subject began to shift from finitely additive mea

This volume provides readers with a detailed introduction to the amenability of Banach algebras and locally compact groups. By encompassing important foundation

This invaluable reference is the first to present the general theory of algebras of operators on a Hilbert space, and the modules over such algebras. The new th
