Consider a unital Banach algebra \(A\), and suppose that \(I\) and \(J\) are arbitrary index sets and \(P\) is a \(J\times I\) matrix over \(A\) such that all of its nonzero entries are invertible and \(\|P\|_{\infty} \leq 1.\) The space \(\ell^1(I\times J, A)\) with product \(X\circ Y = XPY\) is a Banach algebra which is called the \(\ell^1\)-Munn algebra over \(A\) with sandwich matrix \(P\) and denoted as \(LM(A,P).\) In particular semigroup algebras of Rees matrix semigroups are concrete examples of \(\ell^1\)-Munn algebras. In the present paper the authors characterize cyclic and weakly amenable \(\ell^1\)-Munn algebras. In the special case of a Rees matrix semigroup, the authors obtain a new proof of the following result due to Blackmore: The semigroup algebra of every Rees matrix semigroup is weakly amenable. Characterizations of Connes-amenable \(l^1\)-Munn algebras with square sandwich matrix and semigroup algebras of Rees matrix semigroups are also given.
