n-WEAK AMENABILITY AND STRONG DOUBLE LIMIT PROPERTY

Let A be a Banach algebra, we say that A has the strongly double limit property (SDLP) if for each bounded net $(a_\alpha)$ in A and each bounded net $(a^{\ast}\;_\beta)\;in\;A^{\ast},\;lim_\alpha\;lim_\beta=lim_\beta\;lim_\alpha$ whenever both iterated limits exist. In this paper among other results we show that if A has the SDLP and $A^{\ast\ast}$ is (n - 2)-weakly amenable, then A is n-weakly amenable. In particular, it is shown that if $A^{\ast\ast}$ is weakly amenable and A has the SDLP, then A is weakly amenable.
