Extension of Fourier algebra homomorphisms to duals of algebras of uniformly continuous functionals (Q1017688)

Let \( G\) and \(H\) be locally compact abelian groups and \(M(H)\) be a measure algebra on \(H.\) Let \(A(\widehat{G})\) and \(B(\widehat{H})\) be the Fourier and Fourier-Stieltjes transforms of \(L^1(G)\) and \(M(H)\) on the dual groups \(\widehat{G}\) and \(\widehat{H}.\) Let \(UCB(\widehat{G})\) be the C*-algebra of uniformly continuous functionals on \(A(G),\) \(W(\widehat{G})\) the space of weakly almost periodic functionals on \(A(G)\) or \(M^*_\rho(G),\) the C*-algebra generated by the left regular representation on the measure algebra of \(G.\) The authors discuss the extension of homomorphisms of Fourier-Stieltjes algebras on \(G\) and \(H\) to cb-norm preserving, weak*-weak* continuous homomorphisms of \(\chi^*_G\) into \(\chi^*_H,\) where \(( \chi_G,\chi_H)\) is one of the pairs \((UCB(\widehat{G}),UCB(\widehat{H})),\) \((W(\widehat{G}),W(\widehat{H})),\) \((M^*_\rho(G),M^*_\rho(H))).\) When \(G\) is amenable, these extensions are characterized in terms of piecewise affine maps.
