Abstract:
Let $A$ be a Banach algebra with a bounded approximate identity. Let $Z_1$ and $\widetilde Z_2$ be, respectively, the topological centers of the algebras $A^{**}$ and $(A^*A)^*$. In this paper, for weakly sequentially complete Banach algebras, in particular for the group and Fourier algebras $L^1(G)$ and $A(G)$, we study the sets $Z_1$, $\widetilde Z_2$, the relations between them and with several other subspaces of $A^{**}$ or $A^*$.References
