$N$-COCYCLE SPACES OF GROUP ALGEBRAS AND C*-ALGEBRASPublished online by Cambridge University Press: 30 April 2019
We introduce the concept of strong property 
$(\mathbb{B})$ with a constant for Banach algebras and, by applying a certain analysis on the Fourier algebra of the unit circle, we show that all C*-algebras and group algebras have the strong property 
$(\mathbb{B})$ with a constant given by 
$288\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}(1+\sqrt{2})$. We then use this result to find a concrete upper bound for the hyperreflexivity constant of 
${\mathcal{Z}}^{n}(A,X)$, the space of bounded 
$n$-cocycles from 
$A$ into 
$X$, where 
$A$ is a C*-algebra or the group algebra of a group with an open subgroup of polynomial growth and 
$X$ is a Banach 
$A$-bimodule for which 
${\mathcal{H}}^{n+1}(A,X)$ is a Banach space. As another application, we show that for a locally compact amenable group 
$G$ and 
$1<p<\infty$, the space 
$CV_{P}(G)$ of convolution operators on 
$L^{p}(G)$ is hyperreflexive with a constant given by 
$384\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}^{2}(1+\sqrt{2})$. This is the generalization of a well-known result of Christensen [‘Extensions of derivations. II’, Math. Scand. 50(1) (1982), 111–122] for 
$p=2$.
