Extract

We shall point out a connexion between convolution (as defined in (5); see also (7)) and the Arens multiplication on the second dual of a Banach algebra (1, 2). This enables us to demonstrate in an easy way the existence of a commutative Banach algebra whose second dual is not commutative. Examples can also be found in (3, 9) and elsewhere.
