This is a study of Arens regularity in the context of quotients of the Four
ier algebra on a non-discrete locally compact abelian group (or compact gro
up).
(1) If a compact set E of G is of bounded synthesis and is the support of a
pseudofunction, then A(E) is weakly sequentially complete. (This implies t
hat every point of E is a Day point.)
(2) If a compact set E supports a synthesizable pseudofunction, then A(E) h
as Day points. (The existence of a Day point implies that A(E) is not Arens
regular.)
We use be L-2-methods of proof which do not have obvious extensions to the
case of A(p)(E).
Related results, context (historical and mathematical), and open questions
are given.
