Topological amenability and Köthe co-echelon algebras (Q2073153)

The authors continue their previous work on amenability and flatness of topological algebras and modules beyond the case of Banach and Fréchet algebras for the class of complete barrelled DF-algebras. In particular, they extend the Helemskii-Sheinberg criterion for Johnson amenabilty (in the sense that all derivations are inner) from the category of Banach algebras to the larger one of complete barrelled DF-algebras. They provide concrete characterizations for Köthe co-echelon algebras, i.e., locally convex inductive limits of weighted \(\ell^p\)-spaces with the coordinate-wise multiplication (which is well-defined under some restrictive conditions on the weights) with applications to algebras of germs of holomorphic functions.
