Amenability, completely bounded projections, dynamical systems and smooth orbits (Q877855)

An operator space \(X\) equipped with a semigroup \(S\) of completely bounded maps is called here an operator \(S\)-space. Let \(X\) be such a space. The authors construct and study special completely bounded mappings \(X\to Y^*\) associated with \(S\)-invariant subspaces \(Y\subseteq X^*\) and left invariant means on the corresponding space of coefficients \(C_{X,Y}(S)\). The main result of the paper, an existence theorem, says that given an operator \(S\)-space \(X\), under certain conditions there exist completely bounded projections \(P: X\to X\) on fixed point subspaces. Further, the authors provide some corollaries from this theorem.
