### Zero products preserving maps from the Fourier algebra of amenable groups

Jafar Soltani Farsani

#### Abstract

Let $G$ be a locally compact amenable group. The goal of this paper is to investigate the problem of surjective zero products preserving maps from the Fourier algebra of $G$ into a completely contractive Banach algebra. We show that if $B$ is a completely contractive Banach algebra which is faithful and factors weakly, then every surjective completely bounded linear map from $A(G)$ into $B$ which preserves zero products is a weighted homomorphism. Moreover an equivalent condition is given for such a map to be a homomorphism. In particular, this result implies that if $B$ is a commutative C$^*$-algebra or a matrix space and $T:A(G)\rightarrow B$ is a continuous surjective linear map which preserves zero products, then $T$ is a weighted homomorphism and there is an equivalent condition for $T$ to be a homomorphism.
