Abstract
In the present note we introduce tame functionals on Banach algebras. A functional f € A∗ on a Banach algebraA is tame if the naturally defined linear operator A → A∗, a Ü→ f Aa factors through Rosenthal Banach spaces (i.e., not containing a copy of l1). Replacing Rosenthal by reflexive we get a well known concept of weakly almost periodic functionals. So, always WAP(A) Tame(A). We show that tame functionals on the group algebra l11(G) are induced exactly by tame functions (in the sense of topological dynamics) on G for every discrete group G. That is, Tame(l11(G)) = Tame(G). Many interesting tame functions on groups come from dynamical systems theory. Recall that WAP(L1(G)) = WAP(G) (Lau [19], Ülger [28]) for every locally compact group G. It is an open question if Tame(L1(G)) = Tame(G) holds for (nondiscrete) locally compact groups.
