One of the most important problems in automatic continuity theory is to solve the question of continuity of an algebra homomorphism from a Banach algebra into a semisimple Banach algebra with dense range. Many results on this subject are obtained imposing some conditions on the domains or the ranges of homomorphisms. For most recent results and references in automatic continuity theory one may refer to [1], [4] and [5]. In this note we study some properties of homomorphisms from $C^{*}$-algebras into Banach algebras. It is shown that the range of an isomorphism from a $C^{*}$-algebra into a Banach algebra contains no non zero element of the radical of B. Using this result we show that the same holds for a continuous homomorphism, hence a Banach algebra which is the image of a $C^{*}$-algebra under a continuous homomorphism is necessarily semisimple. Thus if there is a homomorphism from a $C^{*}$-algebra onto a non-semisimple Banach algebra it must be discontinuous. Also it follows that every non zero homomorphism from a $C^{*}$-algebra into a radical algebra is discontinuous. Then we make a brief observation on the behavior of quasinilpotent element of noncommutative $C^{*}$-algebras in relation with continuous homomorphisms.momorphisms.

It is shown that every almost linear mapping h : $A{\rightarrow}B$ of a unital PoissonC*-algebra A to a unital Poisson C*-algebra B is a Poisson C*-algebra homomorph when $h(2^nuy)\;=\;h(2^nu)h(y)$ or $h(3^nuy)\;=\;h(3^nu)h(y)$ for all $y\;\in\;A$, all unitary elements $u\;\in\;A$ and n = 0, 1, 2,$\codts$, and that every almost linear almost multiplicative mapping h : $A{\rightarrow}B$ is a Poisson C*-algebra homomorphism when h(2x) = 2h(x) or h(3x) = 3h(x for all $x\;\in\;A$. Here the numbers 2, 3 depend on the functional equations given in the almost linear mappings or in the almost linear almost multiplicative mappings. We prove the Cauchy-Rassias stability of Poisson C*-algebra homomorphisms in unital Poisson C*-algebras, and of homomorphisms in Poisson Banach modules over a unital Poisson C*-algebra.

We prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of generalized Jensen's equations in Banach modules over a unital $C^{\ast}$-algebra. It is applied to show the stability of generalized Jensen's equations in a Hilbert module over a unital $C^{\ast}$-algebra. Moreover, we prove the stability of linear operators in a Hilbert module over a unital $C^{\ast}$-algebra.

We prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of linear d-isometries in linear d-normed Banach modules over a unital $C^*-algebra$ and of linear isometries in Banach modules over a unital $C^*-algebra$. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate d-isometric $C^*-algebra$ isomor-phisms between linear d-normed $C^*-algebras$ and isometric $C^*-algebra$ isomorphisms between $C^*-algebras$, and d-isometric Poisson $C^*-algebra$ isomorphisms between linear d-normed Poisson $C^*-algebras$ and isometric Poisson $C^*-algebra$ isomorphisms between Poisson $C^*-algebras$. We moreover prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of their d-isometric homomorphisms and of their isometric homomorphisms.

It is shown that for an almost algebra homomorphism between Banach algebras, there exists a unique algebra homomorphism near the almost algebra homomorphism. Moreover, we prove that for an almost algebra ${\ast}$-homomorphism between $C^{\ast}$-algebras, there exists a unique algebra ${\ast}$-homomorphism near the almost algebra ${\ast}$-homomorphism, and that for an almost algebra ${\ast}$-homomorphism between $JB^{\ast}$-algebras, there exists a unique algebra ${\ast}$-homomorphism near the almost algebra ${\ast}$-homomorphism.

In this paper the left regular representation and the reduced $C^*$-algebra for a commutative separative semigroup is defined. The universal representation, the reduced $C^*$-algebra and the full $C^*$-algebra for the additive semigroup $N^+$ are given. Also it is proved that $C*_r(N^+){\ncong}C^*(N^+)$.

It is shown that for $A_{k, m}$ a k-homogeneous $C^*$-algebra over $S^{2n - 1} \times S^1$ such that no non-trivial matrix algebra can be factored out of $A_{k, m}$ and $A_{k, m} \otimes M_l(C)$ has a non-trivial bundle structure for any positive integer l, we construct an $A_{k, m^-} C(S^{2n - 1} \times S^1) \otimes M_k(C)$-equivalence bimodule to show that every k-homogeneous $C^*$-algebra over $S^{2n - 1} \times S^1)$. Moreover, we prove that the tensor product of the k-homogeneous $C^*$-algebra $A_{k, m}$ with a UHF-algebra of type $p^\infty$ has the tribial bundle structure if and only if the set of prime factors of k is a subset of the set of prime factors of pp.

The problems of the continuity of homomorphisms between Banach algebras have been studied widely for the last two decades to obtain various fruitful results, yet it is far from characterizing the calss of Banach algebras for which each homomorphism from a member of the class into a Banach algebra is conitnuous. For commutative Banach algebras A and B a simple proof shows that every homomorphism .theta. from A into B is continuous provided that B is semi-simple, however, with a non semi-simple Banach algebra B examples of discontinuous homomorphisms from C(K) into B have been constructed by Dales [6] and Esterle [7]. For non commutative Banach algebras the problems of automatic continuity of homomorphisms seem to be much more difficult. Many positive results and open questions related to this subject may be found in [1], [3], [5] and [8], in particular most recent development can be found in the Lecture Note which contains [1]. It is well-known that a$^{*}$-isomorphism from a $C^{*}$-algebra into another $C^{*}$-algebra is an isometry, and an isomorphism of a Banach algebra into a $C^{*}$-algebra with self-adjoint range is continuous. But a$^{*}$-isomorphism from a $C^{*}$-algebra into an involutive Banach algebra is norm increasing [9], and one can not expect each of such isomorphisms to be continuous. In this note we discuss an isomorphism from a commutative $C^{*}$-algebra into a commutative Banach algebra with dense range via separating space. It is shown that such an isomorphism .theta. : A.rarw.B is conitnuous and maps A onto B is B is semi-simple, discontinuous if B is not semi-simple.

The fixed point algebra $C^*(E)^{\gamma}$ of a gauge action $\gamma$ on a graph $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E)$ and its AF subalgebras $C^*(E)^{\gamma}_{\upsilon}$ associated to each vertex v do play an important role for the study of dynamical properties of $C^*(E)$. In this paper, we consider the stability of $C^*(E)^{\gamma}$ (an AF algebra is either stable or equipped with a (nonzero bounded) trace). It is known that $C^*(E)^{\gamma}$ is stably isomorphic to a graph $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E_{\mathbb{Z}}\;{\times}\;E)$ which we observe being stable. We first give an explicit isomorphism from $C^*(E)^{\gamma}$ to a full hereditary $C^*$-subalgebra of $C^*(E_{\mathbb{N}}\;{\times}\;E)({\subset}\;C^*(E_{\mathbb{Z}}\;{\times}\;E))$ and then show that $C^*(E_{\mathbb{N}}\;{\times}\;E)$ is stable whenever $C^*(E)^{\gamma}$ is so. Thus $C^*(E)^{\gamma}$ cannot be stable if $C^*(E_{\mathbb{N}}\;{\times}\;E)$ admits a trace. It is shown that this is the case if the vertex matrix of E has an eigenvector with an eigenvalue $\lambda$ > 1. The AF algebras $C^*(E)^{\gamma}_{\upsilon}$ are shown to be nonstable whenever E is irreducible. Several examples are discussed.

The idea of C^*-algebra valued metric spaces was given by Ma, Jiang and Sun. In this paper we have studied the ideas of I-Cauchy and I^*-Cauchy sequences and their properties in such spaces and also we give the idea of C^*-algebra valued normed spaces.
