Abstract:
Let $S$ be a commutative, locally compact semigroup and $A$ an $L$-subalgebra of $M(S)$. We obtain conditions on $A$ to ensure that $S$ is an inverse semigroup, a group, or an idempotent semigroup. We assume an involution on $A$, or equivalently on $S$. The proofs come readily from known facts.References
