Abstract
Let A be a Banach algebra, A*, A** and A*** be its first, second and third dual, respectively. Let R:A***A* be the restriction map, J: A*⟶A*** be the canonical injection and Λ: A***A*** be the composition of R and J. Let D:AA* be a continuous derivation and D'':A**A*** be its second transpose. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for Λ∘D'':A**⟶ (A**)* to be a derivation. We apply this to prove some results on weak amenability of second dual Banach algebras.
