Biflat-like Banach algebras

Abstract

Given a Banach algebra $ \mathcal{A} $ and a continuous homomorphism $\sigma$ on it, the notion of $\sigma$-biflatness for $ \mathcal{A} $ is introduced. This is a generalization of biflatness and it is shown that they are distinct. The relations between $\sigma$-biflatness and some other close concepts such as $\sigma$-biprojectivity and $\sigma$-amenability are studied. The $\sigma$-biflatness of tensor product of Banach algebras are also discussed.
