We also provide a positive answer for the case $n=1,$ which sharpens some older results. Our method of proof also provides a unified approach to give short proofs for some known results in the case where $n=1$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-08-14T23:55:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46H20", "46H25" ], "keywords": [ "second dual", "weak amenability", "banach algebra", "lifting derivations", "short proofs" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1007.1649B" } } }
