Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the homological notion of left \(\phi \)-biprojectivity for certain Banach algebras, where \(\phi \) is a nonzero multiplicative linear functional. Our initial result states that this notion is equivalent to left \(\phi \)-contractibility, provided that \(\mathcal {A}\) has a left approximate identity. As an application, we study left \(\phi \)-biprojectivity of Banach algebras related to locally compact groups. For instance, we show that for a locally compact group \(\mathcal {G}\), the Segal algebra \(S(\mathcal {G})\) is left \(\phi \)-biprojective if and only if \(\mathcal {G}\) is compact and the Fourier algebra \(A(\mathcal {G})\) is left \(\phi \)-biprojective if and only if \(\mathcal {G}\) is discrete. Finally, we give some examples which show the differences between our new notion and the classical ones.
