Abstract
Using the recently developed notion of a Herz–Schur multiplier of a $C^*$-dynamical system we introduce weak amenability of $C^*$- and $W^*$-dynamical systems. As a special case we recover Haagerup’s characterisation of weak amenability of a discrete group. We also consider a generalisation of the Fourier algebra and its multipliers to crossed products.
