Abstract
For a locally compact Abelian group G and a commutative Banach algebra B, let L1(G, B) be the Banach algebra of all Bochner integrable functions. We show that if G is compact and B is a nonunital Banach algebra without nontrivial zero divisors, then (i) all derivations on L1(G, B) are continuous if and only if all derivations on B are continuous, and (ii) each epimorphism from a Banach algebra X onto L1(G, B) is continuous provided every epimorphism from X onto B is continuous. If G is noncompact then every derivation on L1(G, B) and every epimorphism from a commutative Banach algebra onto L1(G, B) are continuous. Our results extend the results of Neumann and Velasco for nonunital Banach algebras.
