Extending multipliers of the Fourier algebra from a subgroup

In this paper, we consider various extension problems associated with elements in the closure with respect to either the multiplier norm or the completely bounded multiplier norm of the Fourier algebra of a locally compact group. In particular, we show that it is not always possible to extend an element in the closure with respect to the multiplier norm of the Fourier algebra of the free group on two generators to a multiplier of the Fourier algebra of S L ( 2 , R ) SL(2,\mathbb {R}) .
