Abstract: We study weak amenability of central Beurling algebras

Z L^{1} (G, o m e g a)

. The investigation is a natural extension of the known work on the commutative Beurling algebra

L^{1} (G, o m e g a)

. For [FC]

^{-}

groups we establish a necessary condition and for [FD]

^{-}

groups we give sufficient conditions for the weak amenability of

Z L 1 o

. For a compactly generated [FC]

^{-}

group with the polynomial weight

o m e g a_{a} l p h a (x) = (1 + | x |)^{a} l p h a

, we prove that

Z L^{1} (G, o m e g a_{a} l p h a)

is weakly amenable if and only if

a l p h a < 1 / 2

Review text

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 \(ZL^{1}(G,w)\).
