Abstract:
Let ($A,\ast$) be a commutative semisimple convolution measure algebra with structure semigroup $\Gamma$, and let S denote a commutative locally compact topological semigroup. Under the assumption that A possesses a weak bounded approximate identity, it is shown that there is a topological embedding of the multiplier algebra $\mathcal {M}(A)$ of A in $M(\Gamma )$. This representation leads to a proof of the commutative case of Wendel’s theorem for $A = {L_1}(G)$, where G is a commutative locally compact topological group. It is also proved that if ${l_1}(S)$ has a weak bounded approximate identity of norm one, then $\mathcal {M}({l_1}(S))$ is isometrically isomorphic to ${l_1}(\Omega (S))$, where $\Omega (S)$ is the multiplier semigroup of S. Likewise, if S is cancellative, then $\mathcal {M}({l_1}(S))$ is isometrically isomorphic to ${l_1}(\Omega (S))$. An example is provided of a semigroup S for which ${l_1}(\Omega (S))$ is isomorphic to a proper subset of $\mathcal {M}({l_1}(S))$.References
