Abstract

In this paper, we shall prove that if $G$ is a countably infinite product of second countable amenable locally compact groups $G_i,i\,{=}\,0,1,2,\dots$ and each $G_i$ is a non-trivial compact group for $i>0,$ then the center of the second conjugate algebra of the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of $G$ is precisely $A(G)$.
