Bull. 54 (2011), 654-662", "categories": [ "math.FA" ], "abstract": "For a locally compact group $G$, let $A(G)$ be its Fourier algebra, let $M_{cb}A(G)$ denote the completely bounded multipliers of $A(G)$, and let $A_{Mcb}(G)$ stand for the closure of $A(G)$ in $M_{cb}A(G)$. We characterize the norm one idempotents in $M_{cb}A(G)$: the indicator function of a set $E \\subset G$ is a norm one idempotent in $M_{cb}A(G)$ if and only if $E$ is a coset of an open subgroup of $G$. As applications, we describe the closed ideals of $A_{Mcb}(G)$ with an approximate identity bounded by 1, and we characterize those $G$ for which $A_{Mcb}(G)$ is 1-amenable in the sense of B. E. Johnson. (We can even slightly relax the norm bounds.)", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-11-14T16:59:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "43A22", "20E05", "43A30", "46J10", "46J40", "46L07", "47L25" ], "keywords": [ "fourier algebra", "idempotent cb-multipliers", "cb-multiplier norm", "applications", "locally compact group" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0806.4643F" } } }
