Abstract

We study the Arens regularity of module actions of Banach left or right modules over Banach algebras. We prove that if A has a brai (blai), then the right (left) module action of A on A* is Arens regular if and only if A is reflexive. We find that Arens regularity is implied by the factorization of A* or A** when A is a left or a right ideal in A**. The Arens regularity and strong irregularity of A are related to those of the module actions of A on the nth dual A(n) of A. Banach algebras A for which Z(A**) = A but A ⊆ Zt(A* *) are found (here Z(A**) and Zt(A**) are the topological centres of A** with respect to the first and second Arens product, respectively). This also gives examples of Banach algebras such that A ⊆ Z(A**) ⊆ A**. Finally, the triangular Banach algebras T are used to find Banach algebras having the following properties: (i) T*T = TT* but Z(T**) ≠ Zt(T**); (ii) Z(T**) = Zt(T* *) and T*T = T* but TT* ≠ T*; (iii) Z(T**) = T but T is not weakly sequentially complete. The results (ii) and (iii) are new examples answering questions asked by Lau and Ülger.

In this paper, we investigate a Banach algebra AT, where A is a Banach algebra and T is a left (right) multiplier on A. We study some concepts on AT such as n-weak amenability, cyclic amenability, biflatness, biprojectivity and Arens regularity. For the group algebra L1(G) of an infinite compact group G, it is shown that there is a multiplier T such that L1(G)T has not a bounded approximate identity. For ?1(S), where S is a regular semigroup with a finite number of idempotents, we show that there is a multiplier T such that Arens regularity of ?1(S)T implies that S is compact.
... Many functional analytic aspects concerning a triangular Banach algebra, such as the higher duals, Arens regularity, determination of certain cohomology groups, and the weak amenability, were extensively studied by several authors; see [7][8][9]. Their results were extended for certain class of module extension Banach algebras in a series of works; see, for example, [3,15,16,19] and references therein. We follow this stream and study the same aspects for a Morita context Banach algebra G = A M N B , in which A and B are Banach algebras, M and N are Banach (A, B) and (B, A)-bimodules, respectively, together with two (Morita) context maps M × N −→ A and N × M −→ B that are compatible with the module operations in the sense that G becomes a Banach algebra when it is equipped with the 1 -norm and 2 × 2 matrix-like operations. ...

Motivated by the elaborate works of Forrest, Marcoux, and Zhang [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 354 (2002), 1435–1452 and 4131–4151] on determining the first cohomology group and studying n-weak amenability of triangular and module extension Banach algebras, we investigate the same notions for a Morita context Banach algebra G=AMNB, where A and B are Banach algebras, M and N are Banach (A,B) and (B,A)-bimodules, respectively. We describe the nth-dual G(n) of G and characterize the structure of derivations from G to G(n) for studying the first cohomology group H1G,G(n) and characterizing the n-weak amenability of G. Our study provides some improvements of certain known results on the triangular Banach algebras. The results are then applied to the full matrix Banach algebras Mk(A). Some examples illustrating the results are also included, and several questions are also left undecided.

Let $f:X\times Y\times Z\longrightarrow W $ be a bounded tri-linear map on normed spaces. We say that $f$ is close-to-regular when $f^{t****s}=f^{s****t}$ and $f$ is Aron-Berener regular when all natural extensions are equal. In this manuscript, we have some results on the Aron-Berner regular maps. We investigate the relation between Arens regularity of bounded bilinear maps and Aron-Berner regularity of bounded tri-linear maps. We also give a simple criterion for the Aron-Berner regularity of tri-linear maps.

Let A be a Banach algebra, regarding A as a Banach A-bimodule, the operation π : A × A −→ A extends to π * * * and π t * * * t defined on A * * × A * * .

The left topological center of m ∈ Bil(X × Y, Z) is Z (m) = {Φ ∈ X * * ; m * * * (Φ, · ) : Y * * → Z * * is w * -w * continuous} and the right topological center of m is Z r (m) = Z (m t ) (see [2,3,6]). It is not hard to see that Z (m) = {Φ ∈ X * * ; m * * * (Φ, Γ) = m t * * * t (Φ, Γ) for all Γ ∈ Y * * }, and therefore Z r (m) = {Γ ∈ Y * * ; m * * * (Φ, Γ) = m t * * * t (Φ, Γ) for all Φ ∈ X * * }. ...

We explore the relation between Arens regularity of a bilinear operator and the weak compactness of the related linear operators. Since every bilinear operator has natural factorization through the projective tensor product a special attention is given to Arens regularity of the tensor operator. We consider topological centers of a bilinear operator and we present a few results related to bilinear operators which can be approximated by linear operators.
... On the other hand, motivated by Wedderburn's principal theorem [1], splitting of Banach algebra extensions has been a major question in the theory of Banach algebras and several researchers have used the splitting of Banach algebra extensions as a tool for the study of Banach algebras. For example, module extensions as generalizations of Banach algebra extensions were introduced and first studied by Gourdeau [13] were used to show that amenability of A (2) , the second dual space of A, implies amenability of A; Filali and Eshaghi Gordji [10] used triangular Banach algebras to answer some questions asked by Lau andÜlger [17]; Zhang [22] used module extensions to construct an example of a weakly amenable Banach algebra which is not 3-weakly amenable. For some other applications of splitting of Banach algebra extensions we refer the reader to the references [2,3,4,11,21]. ...

Let ${\mathcal A}$ and ${\frak A}$ be Banach algebras such that ${\mathcal A}$ is a Banach ${\frak A}$-bimodule with compatible actions. We define the product ${\cal A}\rtimes{\frak A}$, which is a strongly splitting Banach algebra extension of ${\frak A}$ by $\cal A$. After characterization of the multiplier algebra, topological centre, (maximal) ideals and spectrum of ${\cal A}\rtimes{\frak A}$, we restrict our investigation to the study of semisimplicity, regularity, Arens regularity of ${\cal A}\rtimes{\frak A}$ in relation to that of the algebras $\cal A$, $\frak A$ and the action of $\frak A$ on $\cal A$. We also compute the first cohomology group $H^1{(}{\cal A}\rtimes{\frak A},({\cal A}\rtimes{\frak A})^{(n)}{)}$ for all $n\in {\Bbb N}\cup\{0\}$ as well as the first-order cyclic cohomology group $H_\lambda^1{(}{\cal A}\rtimes{\frak A},({\cal A}\rtimes{\frak A})^{(1)}{)}$, where $({\cal A}\rtimes{\frak A})^{(n)}$ is the n-th dual space of ${\cal A}\rtimes{\frak A}$ when $n\in{\Bbb N}$ and ${\cal A}\rtimes{\frak A}$ itself when $n=0$. These results are not only of interest in their own right, but also they pave the way for obtaining some new results for Lau products and module extensions of Banach algebras as well as triangular Banach algebra. Finally, special attention is devoted to the cyclic and $n$-weak amenability of ${\cal A}\rtimes{\frak A}$.

Next, we study in-variance of irregularity for m under extension of its domain from left or right. As a consequence, we improve some known results about Arens regularity. Finally, we investigate invariance of irregularity for direct sum of a family of Banach algebras.

In this paper, first we study some Arens regularity properties of module actions. Let $B$ be a Banach $A-bimodule$ and let ${Z}^\ell_{B^{**}}(A^{**})$ and ${Z}^\ell_{A^{**}}(B^{**})$ be the topological centers of the left module action $\pi_\ell:~A\times B\rightarrow B$ and the right module action $\pi_r:~B\times A\rightarrow B$, respectively. We investigate some relationships between topological center of $A^{**}$, ${Z}_1({A^{**}})$ with respect to the first Arens product and topological centers of module actions ${Z}^\ell_{B^{**}}(A^{**})$ and ${Z}^\ell_{A^{**}}(B^{**})$. On the other hand, if $A$ has Mazure property and $B^{**}$ has the left $A^{**}-factorization$, then $Z^\ell_{A^{**}}(B^{**})=B$, and so for a locally compact non-compact group $G$ with compact covering number $card(G)$, we have $Z^\ell_{M(G)^{**}}{(L^1(G)^{**})}= {L^1(G)}$ and $Z^\ell_{L^1(G)^{**}}{(M(G)^{**})}= {M(G)}$. By using the Arens regularity of module actions, we study some cohomological groups properties of Banach algebra and we extend some propositions from Dales, Ghahramani, Gr{\o}nb{\ae}k and others into general situations and we investigate the relationships between some cohomological groups of Banach algebra $A$. We obtain some results in Connes-amenability of Banach algebras, and so for every compact group $G$, we conclude that $H^1_{w^*}(L^\infty(G)^*,L^\infty(G)^{**})=0$. Suppose that $G$ is an amenable locally compact group. Then there is a Banach $L^1(G)-bimodule$ such as $(L^\infty(G),.)$ such that $Z^1(L^1(G),L^\infty(G))=\{L_{f}:~f\in L^\infty(G)\}$ where for every $g\in L^1(G)$, we have $L_f(g)=f.g$.

We search some necessary and sufficient conditions for factorization of $A^*$, $B$ and $B^*$ with some results in group algebras. We extend the definitions of the left and right multiplier for module actions.

Finally, we generalize the concept of the weakly strongly connes amenable to even dual in higher orders.

Let $A$ and $B$ be Banach algebras, $\theta: A\to B$ be a continuous Banach algebra homomorphism and $I$ be a closed ideal in $B$. Then the direct sum of $A$ and $I$ with respect to $\theta$, denoted $A\bowtie^{\theta}I$, with a special product becomes a Banach algebra which is called the amalgamated Banach algebra. In this paper, among other things, we compute the topological centre of $A\bowtie^{\theta}I$ in terms of that of $A$ and $I$. Using this, we provide a characterization of the Arens regularity of $A\bowtie^{\theta}I$. Then we determine the character space of $A\bowtie^{\theta}I$ in terms of that of $A$ and $I$. Moreover, we study the weak amenability of $A\bowtie^{\theta}I$.

Let $\cal X$ be a $\cal G$-space; That is, $\cal G$ is a locally compact group acting continuously from the left on a locally compact Hausdorff space $\cal X$, for instances, a homogeneous space, dynamical system and some semigroup compactification of $\cal G$ and etc. Let also, the Banach space $LUC({\cal G})$ and $C_b({\cal X})$ are considered as usual and for a given $s$ in $\cal G$, we consider the left translation of a function $F\in C_b({\cal X})$ by $l_sF(y)=F(s\cdot y)$ ($y\in {\cal X}$). Following Lau and Chu \cite{chulau}, we use the notation $LUC({\cal X},{\cal G})$ to denote the Banach space of all functions $F\in C_b({\cal X})$ for which the map $s \mapsto l_sF$ from $\cal G$ into $C_b({\cal X})$ is continuous. In this paper, we study some properties of the first dual space of $LUC({\cal X},{\cal G})$. In particular, we introduce a left action of $LUC({\cal G})^*$ on $LUC({\cal X},{\cal G})^*$ to make it a Banach left module and then we investigate the Banach subspace ${{\frak{Z}}({\cal X},{\cal G})}$ of $LUC({\cal G})^*$, as the topological centre related to this module action. Among other things, we consider the faithfulness of this module action and we extend the main results of Lau~\cite{lau} from locally compact groups to ${\cal G}$-spaces.

Let M(X) be the space of all finite regular Borel measures on X. A general measure algebra is a subspace of M(X), which is an L-space and has a multiplication preserving the probability measures. Let L ⊆ M(X) be a general measure algebra on a locally compact space X. In this paper, we investigate the relation between Arens regularity of L and the topology of X. We find conditions under which the Arens regularity of L implies the compactness of X. We show that these conditions are necessary. We also present some examples in showing that the new conditions are different from Theorem 3.1 of [7].

We extend the notion of Arens regularity and module Arens regularity of Banach algebras to Arens regularity of module actions. We also investigate the more general notion of Arens regularity for bilinear maps. Finally, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for module Arens regularity of the semigroup algebra of an inverse semigroup.
... In [16], Ulger showed that the Arens regularity of a bounded bilinear map can be characterized by its weakly compactness or its reflexiveness and simplified proofs of some old results. For more recent results, the reader is referred to [6] and [14]. On the other hand, special attention has been focused on the bilinear maps arisen from Banach algebras. ...

In this paper, we study the topological centers of bilinear maps induced by unitary representations, giving a characterization when the center is minimal and also conditions which guarantee that the center is maximal. Various examples whose topological centers are maximal, minimal or neither will be given. We will also investigate the topological centers of sub-representations, direct sums and tensor products.

In this paper, we will study the topological centers of $n-th$ dual of Banach $A-module$ and we extend some propositions from Lau and \"{U}lger into $n-th$ dual of Banach $A-modules$ where $n\geq 0$ is even number. Let $B$ be a Banach $A-bimodule$. By using some new conditions, we show that ${{Z}^\ell}_{A^{(n)}}(B^{(n)})=B^{(n)}$ and ${{Z}^\ell}_{B^{(n)}}(A^{(n)})=A^{(n)}$.

We say that f is close-to-regular when f t * * * * s = f s * * * * t and we say that f is Aron-Berner regular when all natural extensions are equal. In this manuscript, we give a simple criterion for the close-to-regularity of tri-linear maps.

Let $B$ be a Banach $A-bimodule$. We introduce the weak topological centers of left module action and we show it by $\tilde{{Z}}^\ell_{B^{**}}(A^{**})$. For a compact group, we show that $L^1(G)=\tilde{Z}_{M(G)^{**}}^\ell(L^1(G)^{**})$ and on the other hand we have $\tilde{Z}_1^\ell{(c_0^{**})}\neq c_0^{**}$. Thus the weak topological centers are different with topological centers of left or right module actions. In this manuscript, we investigate the relationships between two concepts with some conclusions in Banach algebras. We also have some application of this new concept and topological centers of module actions in the cohomological properties of Banach algebras, spacial, in the weak amenability and $n$-weak amenability of Banach algebras.

In this paper, we study some cohomlogical properties of Banach algebras. For a Banach algebra $A$ and a Banach $A$-bimodule $B$, we investigate the vanishing of the first Hochschild cohomology groups $H^1(A^n,B^m)$ and $H_{w^*}^1(A^n,B^m)$, where $0\leq m,n\leq 3$. For amenable Banach algebra $A$, we show that there are Banach $A$-bimodules $C$, $D$ and elements $\mathfrak{a}, \mathfrak{b}\in A^{**}$ such that $$Z^1(A,C^*)=\{R_{D^{\prime\prime}(\mathfrak{a})}:~D\in Z^1(A,C^*)\}=\{L_{D^{\prime\prime}(\mathfrak{b})}:~D\in Z^1(A,D^*)\}.$$ where, for every $b\in B$, $L_{b}(a)=ba$ and $R_{b}(a)=a b,$ for every $a\in A$. Moreover, under a condition, we show that if the second transpose of a continuous derivation from the Banach algebra $A$ into $A^*$ i.e., a continuous linear map from $A^{**}$ into $A^{***}$, is a derivation, then $A$ is Arens regular. Finally, we show that if $A$ is a dual left strongly irregular Banach algebra such that its second dual is amenable, then $A$ is reflexive.

In this Article, we give a simple criterion for the regularity of a tri-linear mapping. We provide if $f:X\times Y\times Z\longrightarrow W $ is a bounded tri-linear mapping and $h:W\longrightarrow S$ is a bounded linear mapping, then $f$ is regular if and only if $hof$ is regular. We also shall give some necessary and sufficient conditions such that the fourth adjoint $D^{****}$ of a tri-derivation $D$ is again tri-derivation.

We associate a Banach algebra \(\mathbf A _\Phi \) to each bounded bilinear map \(\Phi : \mathrm X\times \mathrm Y\rightarrow \mathrm {Z}\) on Banach spaces, and we find out that this Banach algebra can be useful for many purposes in the theory of Banach algebras. For example, the construction of \(\mathbf A _\Phi \) enables us to provide many simple examples of Banach algebras with different topological centers, which are neither Arens regular nor either left or right strongly Arens irregular. It also gives examples of Banach algebras which are not n-weakly amenable for each natural number n. We also find out that the dual of \(\mathbf A _\Phi \) does not enjoy the factorization property of any level.

Associated with a locally compact group \(\mathcal G\) and a \(\mathcal G\)-space \(\mathcal X\) there is a Banach subspace \(LUC({\mathcal X},{\mathcal G})\) of \(C_b({\mathcal X})\), which has been introduced and studied by Chu and Lau (Math Z 268:649–673, 2011). In this paper, we study some properties of the first dual space of \(LUC({\mathcal X},{\mathcal G})\). In particular, we introduce a left action of \(LUC({\mathcal G})^*\) on \(LUC({\mathcal X},{\mathcal G})^*\) to make it a Banach left module and then we investigate the Banach subalgebra \({{\mathfrak {Z}}({\mathcal X},{\mathcal G})}\) of \(LUC({\mathcal G})^*\), as the topological centre related to this module action, which contains \(M({\mathcal G})\) as a closed subalgebra. Also, we show that the faithfulness of this module action is related to the properties of the action of \(\mathcal G\) on \(\mathcal X\) and we prove an analogue of the main result of Lau (Math Proc Cambridge Philos Soc 99:273–283, 1986) for \({\mathcal G}\)-spaces. Sufficient and/or necessary conditions for the equality \({{\mathfrak {Z}}({\mathcal X},{\mathcal G})}=M({\mathcal G})\) or \(LUC({\mathcal G})^*\) are given. Finally, we apply our results to some special cases of \(\mathcal G\) and \(\mathcal X\) for obtaining various examples whose topological centres \({{\mathfrak {Z}}({\mathcal X},{\mathcal G})}\) are \(M({\mathcal G})\), \(LUC({\mathcal G})^*\) or neither of them.

Let (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.) be Banach algebras such that (Formula presented.) is a Banach (Formula presented.)-bimodule with compatible actions. We define the product (Formula presented.), which is a strongly splitting Banach algebra extension of (Formula presented.) by (Formula presented.). After characterization of the multiplier algebra, topological center, (maximal) ideals and spectrum of (Formula presented.), we restrict our investigation to the study of semisimplicity, regularity, Arens regularity of (Formula presented.) in relation to that of the algebras (Formula presented.), (Formula presented.) and the action of (Formula presented.) on (Formula presented.). We also compute the first cohomology group (Formula presented.) for all (Formula presented.) as well as the first-order cyclic cohomology group (Formula presented.), where (Formula presented.) is the (Formula presented.)th dual space of (Formula presented.) when (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.) itself when (Formula presented.). These results are not only of interest in their own right, but also they pave the way for obtaining some new results for Lau products and module extensions of Banach algebras as well as triangular Banach algebra. Finally, special attention is devoted to the cyclic and (Formula presented.)-weak amenability of (Formula presented.). In this context, several open questions arise.

La dualidad de espacios normados es central para el abordaje de cuestiones geométricas y topológicas de los mismos. En el contexto de espacios de Banach la completitud permite avanzar mucho más, siendo especialmente rico este escenario si se tratare con álgebras de Banach. El análisis funcional moderno es difícil de abordar por la diversidad de enfoques y la complejidad de las construcciones, no obstante ser las mismas en general concurrentes y guiadas por una suerte de derrotero intrínseco. Pareciera haber capítulos, cada uno con valía e interés propios, con límites a veces difusos. Hay también especialistas que tienen el mérito y la capacidad de integrarlos, complementarlos y enriquecerlos a veces de manera magistral. En este trabajo, que procuramos en lo posible sea autocontenido, nos hemos de concentrar en cuestiones ligadas a la regularidad de álgebras de Banach. Se trata de un aspecto teórico de carácter algebraico, con fuertes implicancias que permiten una mejor comprensión de la estructura de las correspondientes álgebras.

It is known that a Banach algebra inherits amenability from its second Banach dual A��. No example is yet known whether this fails if one considers the weak amenability instead, but the property is known to hold for the group algebra L1(G), the Fourier algebra A(G) when G is amenable, the Banach algebras A which are left ideals in A��, the dual Banach algebras, and the Banach algebras A which are Arens regular and have every derivation from A into Aweakly compact. In this paper, we extend this class of algebras to the Banach algebras for which WAP(A) � A�, the Banach algebras A which are right ideals in A�� and satisfy AA�� = A��, and to the Figa-Talamanca-Herz algebra Ap(G) for G amenable. We also provide a short proof of the interesting recent criterion on when the second adjoint of a derivation is again a derivation.

We will study this problem under generalization, that is, if $(n+2)-th$ dual of $A$, $A^{(n+2)}$, is $T-S-$weakly amenable, then $A^{(n)}$ is $T-S-$weakly amenable where $T$ and $S$ are continuous linear mappings from $A^{(n)}$ into $A^{(n)}$.

In this paper, we will study some Arens regularity properties of module actions. Let $B$ be a Banach $A-bimodule$ and let ${Z}^\ell_{B^{**}}(A^{**})$ and ${Z}^\ell_{A^{**}}(B^{**})$ be the topological centers of the left module action $\pi_\ell:~A\times B\rightarrow B$ and the right module action $\pi_r:~B\times A\rightarrow B$, respectively. In this paper, we will extend some problems from topological center of second dual of Banach algebra $A$, $Z_1(A^{**})$, into spaces ${Z}^\ell_{B^{**}}(A^{**})$ and ${Z}^\ell_{A^{**}}(B^{**})$. We investigate some relationships between ${Z}_1({A^{**}})$ and topological centers of module actions. For an unital Banach $A-module$ $B$ we show that ${Z}^\ell_{A^{**}}(B^{**}){Z}_1({A^{**}})={Z}^\ell_{A^{**}}(B^{**})$ and as results in group algebras, for locally compact group $G$, we have ${Z}^\ell_{{L^1(G)}^{**}}(M(G)^{**})M(G)={Z}^\ell_{{L^1(G)}^{**}}(M(G)^{**})$ and ${Z}^\ell_{M(G)^{**}}({L^1(G)}^{**})M(G)={Z}^\ell_{M(G)^{**}}({L^1(G)}^{**})$. For Banach $A-bimodule$ $B$, if we assume that $B^*B^{**}\subseteq A^*$, then $~B^{**}{Z}_1(A^{**})\subseteq {Z}^\ell_{A^{**}}(B^{**})$ and moreover if $B$ is an unital as Banach $A-module$, then we conclude that $B^{**}{Z}_1({A^{**}})={Z}^\ell_{A^{**}}(B^{**})$. Let ${Z}^\ell_{A^{**}}(B^{**})A\subseteq B$ and suppose that $B$ is $WSC$, so we conclude that ${Z}^\ell_{A^{**}}(B^{**})=B$. If $\overline{B^{*}A}\neq B^*$ and $ B^{**}$ has a left unit $A^{**}-module$, then $Z^\ell_{B^{**}}(A^{**})\neq A^{**}$. We will also establish some relationships of Arens regularity of Banach algebras $A$, $B$ and Arens regularity of projective tensor product $A\hat{\otimes}B$.

Let A and B be unital Banach algebras, and let M be a Banach A, B-module. Then T = [0ABM] becomes a triangular Banach algebra when equipped with the Banach space norm ∥ [0abm] ∥ = ∥ a ∥ A + ∥ m ∥ M + ∥ b ∥ B. A Banach algebra T is said to be n-weakly amenable if all derivations from T into its nth dual space T(n) are inner. In this paper we investigate Arens regularity and n-weak amenability of a triangular Banach algebra T in relation to that of the algebras A, B and their action on the module M.

Let X be a compact totally ordered space made into a semigroup by the multiplication xy =max{ x , y }. Suppose that there is a continuous regular Borel measure μ on X with supp μ= X . Then the space L ¹ (μ) of μ-integrable functions becomes a Banach algebra when provided with convolution as multiplication. The second dual L ¹ (μ)** therefore has two Arens multiplications, each making it a Banach algebra. We shall always consider L ¹ (μ)** to have the first of these: if F , G ∈ L ¹ (μ)** and F = w *−lim i ϕ i , G = w *−lim j ψ j , where (ϕ i ), (ψ j ) are bounded nets in L ¹ (μ), then formula here

Let G \cal G be a locally compact group. Consider the Banach algebra L1(G)** L_{1}(\cal G)^{**} , equipped with the first Arens multiplication, as well as the algebra LUC (G)* (\cal G)^* , the dual of the space of bounded left uniformly continuous functions on G \cal G , whose product extends the convolution in the measure algebra M (G) (\cal G) . We present (for the most interesting case of a non-compact group) completely different - in particular, direct - proofs and even obtain sharpened versions of the results, first proved by Lau-Losert in [9] and Lau in [8], that the topological centres of the latter algebras precisely are L1(G) L_{1}(\cal G) and M (G) (\cal G) , respectively. The special interest of our new approach lies in the fact that it shows a fairly general pattern of solving the topological centre problem for various kinds of Banach algebras; in particular, it avoids the use of any measure theoretical techniques. At the same time, deriving both results in perfect parallelity, our method reveals the nature of their close relation.
