Abstract
This is a sequel to our recent work (2012) on the Fourier–Stieltjes algebra $ B(G) $ of a topological group $ G $. We introduce the unitary closure $ \overline G $ of $ G $ and use it to study the Fourier algebra $ A(G) $ of $ G $. We also study operator amenability and fixed point property as well as other related geometric properties for $ A(G) $.
