INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
This thesis is concerned with Banach spaces which are modules over Banach algebras. If A is a Banach algebra, then by a left (right) Banach A-module we mean a Banach space, V, which is a left (right) A-module in the algebraic sense, and for which | |av| | for all x.yev, f e L (G). 47
(ii) if W is a submodule of V, then the projection of V onto W is an L.(G)-multiplier. Proof.
Remark that we may suppose that V is a left L (G)-module. If not
consider V. (i) By Cor. 2.1.14 V is the Hilbert space sum of V and V . Take ХіУб . Then χ = χ e + χ о and y' = y' e + y'o with χ e",ys € V e and χ ο'-Ό ,y € V о. " By Th. 3.1.6 there is a unique shift in V such that V is a module with shift. With this shift u •+ u is an isometry from V to V . J s e e Therefore = for a l l u , v € V , s E G . Hence = ' s s e " ds

A(G) = L (G) * L (G) implies f*keA(G) if f € L (G), keA(G).
