We then identify sufficient conditions for the predual $\\mathfrak{V}_\\ast$ of a von Neumann algebra $\\mathfrak{V}$ to be extremely non-Arens regular in this new sense. These conditions are obtained with the help of orthogonal $\\ell_1$-sets of $\\mathfrak{V}_\\ast.$ We show that some of the main algebras in Harmonic Analysis satisfy these conditions. Among them,there is ${\\small \\bullet}$ the weighted semigroup algebra of any weakly cancellative discrete semigroup, for any diagonally bounded weight, ${\\small \\bullet}$ the weighted group algebra of any non-discrete locally compact infinite group and for any weight, ${\\small \\bullet}$ the weighted measure algebra of any locally compact infinite group, for any diagonally bounded weight, ${\\small \\bullet}$ the Fourier algebra of any locally compact infinite group having its local weight greater or equal than its compact covering number, ${\\small \\bullet}$ the Fourier algebra of any countable discrete group containing an infinite amenable subgroup.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-01T10:52:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47D35", "22D15", "43A46", "43A60", "47C15" ], "keywords": [ "von neumann algebra", "extreme non-arens regularity", "orthogonal", "extremely non-arens regular", "non-discrete locally compact infinite group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
