On Pseudo-contractibility and Ultra Central Approximate Identity of Some Semigroup Algebras by Amir Sahami, Seyedeh Fatemeh Shariati

“…As an application, we show that for a left cancellative semigroup S, ℓ1S∗∗ is pseudo-contractible if and only if S is a finite group. We also study this property for φ-Lau product Banach algebras and the module extension Banach algebras.…”
