We introduce the concept of strong property $(\mathbb{B})$ with a constant for Banach algebras and, by applying a certain analysis on the Fourier algebra of the unit circle, we show that all C*-algebras and group algebras have the strong property
$(\mathbb{B})$ with a constant given by
$288\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}(1+\sqrt{2})$. We then use this result to find a concrete upper bound for the hyperreflexivity constant of
${\mathcal{Z}}^{n}(A,X)$, the space of bounded
$n$-cocycles from
$A$ into
$X$, where
$A$ is a C*-algebra or the group algebra of a group with an open subgroup of polynomial growth and
$X$ is a Banach
$A$-bimodule for which
${\mathcal{H}}^{n+1}(A,X)$ is a Banach space. As another application, we show that for a locally compact amenable group
$G$ and
$1<p<\infty$, the space
$CV_{P}(G)$ of convolution operators on
$L^{p}(G)$ is hyperreflexive with a constant given by
$384\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}^{2}(1+\sqrt{2})$. This is the generalization of a well-known result of Christensen [‘Extensions of derivations. II’, Math. Scand. 50(1) (1982), 111–122] for
$p=2$.
