Bounded homomorphism characterization for Fourier algebras

Let GG and HH be locally compact groups. Suppose that GG is amenable, and let Φ:A(G)B(H)\Phi:{\mathrm{A}(G)}\to{\mathrm{B}(H)} be a bounded homomorphism. A continuous map α:YGH\alpha:Y\subset G\to H is mixed piecewise affine when YY partitions into finitely many elements of Ω(G)\Omega(G), and on each piece the restriction agrees with either an affine or an anti-affine map as specified in the source. Bounded homomorphism characterization conjecture. Every such Φ\Phi is of the form Φ=Φα\Phi=\Phi_\alpha for some continuous mixed piecewise affine α:YGH\alpha:Y\subset G\to H. The completely bounded analogue is established in the amenable case, whereas this bounded version is posed as an open question for Fourier algebras; the supplied text specifically describes characterizing bounded and completely bounded homomorphisms for non-amenable groups as open.
