Moreover, we show that if both G and H are amenable then any p -completely contractive algebra homomorphism 蠒:Ap(G)→Ap(H) is of this form. These results are the analogs in the context of the Figà-Talamanca–Herz algebras of the ones in the Fourier algebra setting (p=2) initiated by the author and continued with N. Spronk, which in turn generalize results of P.J. Cohen and B. Host from abelian group algebra setting.
