We show that for a locally compact group $G$, the Segal algebra $S(G)$ is left $\\phi$-contractible if and only if $G$ is compact. Also, we prove that the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ is left $\\phi$-biprojective if and only if $G$ is discrete. Finally, we study left $\\phi$-biprojectivity of certain semigroup algebras. We give some examples which show the differences between our new notion and the classical ones.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-05-14T12:37:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46M10", "43A20" ], "keywords": [ "banach algebras", "biprojectivity", "non-zero multiplicative linear functional", "fourier algebra", "locally compact group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
