A note on the stability of Arens products under small perturbations of multiplication

RESUMO

In this short note, we study the small perturbations of multiplication structure of a Banach algebra $\mathcal A$, and its impact on the two Arens products on the bidual $\mathcal A^{**}$. We show that the property of being \say{Arens irregular} is stable under sufficiently small perturbation in the multiplication structure of a Banach algebra. Further we show that for any Banach function algebra which is equivalent to a uniform algebra, the Arens regularity is stable under small perturbation on the multiplication structure of the original Banach function algebra.
