The conjectured inner amenability characterization by decomposable Fourier multipliers

Let GG be a locally compact group. The space of completely bounded Fourier multipliers on VN(G)\operatorname{VN}(G) is denoted by M,cb(G)\mathfrak{M}^{\infty,\mathrm{cb}}(G), and the space of decomposable Fourier multipliers by M,dec(G)\mathfrak{M}^{\infty,\mathrm{dec}}(G). The Fourier–Stieltjes algebra of GG is B(G)\operatorname{B}(G).

Inner amenability and decomposable multipliers conjecture. The group GG is inner amenable if and only if

B(G)=M,dec(G),\operatorname{B}(G)=\mathfrak{M}^{\infty,\mathrm{dec}}(G),

and the von Neumann algebra VN(G)\operatorname{VN}(G) is injective if and only if

M,dec(G)=M,cb(G).\mathfrak{M}^{\infty,\mathrm{dec}}(G)=\mathfrak{M}^{\infty,\mathrm{cb}}(G).

These conjectures seek operator-algebraic characterizations of inner amenability and injectivity through decomposable Fourier multipliers. The source does not provide evidence resolving either assertion.
