In mathematics, specifically in functional analysis, a Banach algebra, A, is amenable if all bounded derivations from A into dual Banach A-bimodules are inner (that is of the form <math>a\mapsto a.x-x.a</math> for some <math>x</math> in the dual module).

An equivalent characterization is that A is amenable if and only if it has a virtual diagonal.

Examples

• If A is a group algebra <math>L^1(G)</math> for some locally compact group G then A is amenable if and only if G is amenable.
• If A is a C*-algebra then A is amenable if and only if it is nuclear.
• If A is a uniform algebra on a compact Hausdorff space then A is amenable if and only if it is trivial (i.e. the algebra C(X) of all continuous complex functions on X).
• If A is amenable and there is a continuous algebra homomorphism <math>\theta</math> from A to another Banach algebra, then the closure of <math>\overline{\theta(A)}</math> is amenable.
