Amenability-Like properties of C(X,A)

Abstract

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space. Given homomorphisms $ \sigma \in Hom(A)$ and $\tau \in Hom(C(X, A))$, we introduce induced homomorphisms $\tilde{\sigma}\in Hom(C(X, A)) $ and $\tilde{\tau}\in Hom(A)$, respectively. We study when $\tau$-(weak) amenability of $C(X, A)$ implies $\tilde{\tau}$-(weak) amenability of $A$. We also investigate where $ \sigma$-weak amenability of $A$ yields $\tilde{\sigma}$-weak amenability of $C(X, A)$.
