Amenability of the second dual of hypergroup algebras (Q5932674)

Let \(A\) be a Banach algebra \(A^{**}\) the second conjugate algebra of \(A\) under the Arens products. The paper considers the amenability for the group algebra \(A=L^1(G)\) as well as the measure algebra \(A=M(G)\), and their second conjugate algebra for a locally compact group \(G\). The following results are known: 1. \(L^1(G)^{**}\) is amenable if and only if \(G\) is finite. 2. If \(LUC(G)^*\), the dual space of left uniformly continuous function on \(G\), is amenable, then \(G\) is compact and \(M(G)\) is amenable. 3. If \(M(G)^{**}\) is amenable, then \(G\) is finite. This paper generalizes all of the above results to the case of locally compact hypergroup \(X\).
