N-multipliers and their relations with n-homomorphisms

Abstract

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $X$ be a Banach $A$-bimodule. We introduce and study the notions of $n$-multipliers and approximate local $n$-multipliers by generalizing the classical concept of multipliers from $A$ into $X$. As an algebraic result, we construct a Banach algebra consisting of $n$-multipliers on $A$ and under some mild conditions, we give a nice relation of this algebra with $n$-homomorphisms from $A$ into $\mathbb{C}$.
