Weak amenability for the second dual of Banach modules

Abstract

Let A be a Banach algebra, E be a Banach A-bimodule and Δ E → A be a bounded Banach A-bimodule homomorphism. It is shown that under some mild conditions, the weakΔ''-amenability of E'' (as an A''-bimodule) necessitates weak Δ-amenability of E (as an A-bimodule). Some examples of weak-amenable Banach modules are provided as well.
