Weak amenability for dynamical systems

Abstract

Using the recently developed notion of a Herz--Schur multiplier of a C*-dynamical system we introduce weak amenability of C*- and W*-dynamical systems. As a special case we recover Haagerup's characterisation of weak amenability of a discrete group. We also consider a generalisation of the Fourier algebra to crossed products and study its multipliers.
