On approximate Connes-biprojectivity of dual Banach algebras

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a notion of approximate Connes-biprojectivity for dual Banach algebras. We study the relation between approximate Connes-biprojectivity, Johnson pseudo-Connes amenability and $\varphi$-Connes amenability. We propose a criterion to show that some certain dual triangular Banach algebras are not approximately Connes-biprojective. Next we show that for a locally compact group $G$, the Banach algebra $M(G)$ is approximately Connes-biprojective if and only if $G$ is amenable. Finally for an infinite commutative compact group $G$ we show that the Banach algebra $L^2(G)$ with convolution product is approximately Connes-biprojective, but it is not Connes-biprojective.
