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, approximate Connes amenability and [Formula: see text]-Connes amenability. We propose a criterion to show that certain dual triangular Banach algebras are not approximately Connes-biprojective. Next, we show that for a locally compact group [Formula: see text], the Banach algebra [Formula: see text] is approximately Connes-biprojective if and only if [Formula: see text] is amenable. Finally, for an infinite commutative compact group [Formula: see text], we show that the Banach algebra [Formula: see text] with convolution product is approximately Connes-biprojective, but it is not Connes-biprojective.
