Distinguishing properties of Arens irregularity

In this paper, we present a number of examples of commutative Banach algebras with various Arens irregularity properties. These examples illustrate in particular that strong Arens irregularity and extreme non-Arens regularity, the two natural concepts of "maximal" Arens irregularity for general Banach algebras as introduced by Dales-Lau and Granirer, respectively, are indeed distinct. Thereby, an open question raised by several authors is answered. We also link these two properties to another natural Arens irregularity property.
