Weak amenability of the central Beurling algebras on \(\mathrm{[FC]}^-\) groups (Q2363560)

A Banach algebra \(A\) is called weakly amenable if every bounded derivation \(D:A\rightarrow A^{*}\) is inner, that is, \(D(a)=a\cdot f-f\cdot a\) for every \(a\in A.\) Let \(G\) be a locally compact group. A weight on \(G\) is a Borel measurable function \(w:G\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{+}\) which satisfies \(w(xy)\leq w(x)w(y)\) (\(x,y\in G\)). The Banach space (algebra) \(L^{1}(G,w)\) is the set of all complex-valued \(f\) such that \(fw\in L^{1}(G)\). This Banach algebra is called Beurling algebra. A closed subalgebra \(ZL^{1}(G,w)\) consists of all \(f\in L^{1}(G,w)\) such that \(f^{g}=f\) for all \(g\in G\), where \(f^{g}(x)=f(g^{-1}xg)\) for each \(x\in G\). This algebra is called central Beurling algebra. As main results of this paper, for \(\mathrm{[FC]}^-\) groups the authors give a necessary condition and for \(\mathrm{[FD]}^-\) groups they give a sufficient condition for weak amenability of \(ZL^{1}(G,w)\).
