Vector-valued invariant means on spaces of bounded linear maps (Q2848700)

Let \(\mathcal A\) be a Banach algebra and let \(\mathcal M\) be a \(W^*\)-algebra. Let \(\phi\) be a homomorphism from \(\mathcal A\) into \(\mathcal M\). In the present paper, the authors introduce the notion of an \(\mathcal M\)-valued invariant \(\phi\)-mean on the Banach space \(B(\mathcal A, \mathcal M)\) of all bounded linear maps from \(\mathcal A\) into \(\mathcal M\) and investigate its existence. In particular, they consider the following cases: {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize}\item[(1)] Every continuous derivation from \(\mathcal A\) into \(B(\mathcal X, \mathcal M_{\phi})\) is inner for all Banach right \(\mathcal A\)-modules \(\mathcal X\), where \(B(\mathcal X, \mathcal M_{\phi})\) denotes the Banach \(\mathcal A\)-bimodule \(B(\mathcal X, M)\) with the module actions NEWLINE\[NEWLINE (T.a)(\zeta)= T(\zeta) \phi (a), \;(a.
