Weak amenability for Fourier algebras of 1-connected nilpotent Lie groups (Q491508)

\textit{B. E. Forrest} and \textit{V. Runde} [Math. Z. 250, No. 4, 731--744 (2005; Zbl 1080.22002)] conjectured that the Fourier algebras of non-abelian connected Lie groups are not weakly amenable. This was previously known to be true for non-abelian compact groups, the real \(a x + b\) groups and hence, the semisimple Lie groups. In this paper, the authors confirm this conjecture for \(1\)-connected non-abelian nilpotent Lie groups.
