On approximate Connes-amenability of enveloping dual Banach algebras

For a Banach algebra $ \mathcal{A} $, we introduce various approximate virtual diagonals such as approximate WAP-virtual diagonal and approximate virtual diagonal. For the enveloping dual Banach algebra $ F(\mathcal{A}) $ of $ \mathcal{A} $, we show that $ F(\mathcal{A}) $ is approximately Connes-amenable if and only if $ \mathcal{A} $ has an approximate WAP-virtual diagonal. Further, for a discrete group $ G $, we show that if the group algebra $ \ell^1(G) $ has an approximate WAP-virtual diagonal, then it has an approximate virtual diagonal.
