AbstractThis is a sequel to the author's paper "On the semigroup of probability measures of a locally compact semigroup." We continue to investigate the relationship between amenability of spaces of functions and functionals associated with a locally compact semigroups S and its convolution semigroup MO(S) of probability measures and fixed point properties of actions of S and MO(S) on compact convex sets.

In this paper we extend a result of Johnson and Lahr(3), which characterizes the multiplier algebra of L1(a, b) (the algebra of Lebesgue integrable functions on the interval of real numbers from a to b, under order convolution) to the L1 algebra of a general totally ordered semigroup. Similar work has been done in (l), but under more restrictive conditions.

The major portion of this paper is devoted to an investigation of the conditions which imply that a semigroup (no identity or commutativity assumed) with a bounded invariant measure is a group. We find in §3 that a weakened form of “shearing” is sufficient and a counter-example (§5) shows that “shearing” may not be dispensed with entirely. In §4 we discuss topological measures in locally compact semigroups and find that shearing may be dropped without affecting the results of the earlier sections (Theorem 2). The next two theorems show that under certain circumstances (shearing or commutativity) the topology of the semigroup (already known to be a group by virtue of earlier results) can be weakened so that the structure becomes a separated compact topological group. The last section treats the problem of extending an invariant measure on a commutative semigroup to an invariant measure on its quotient structure.

An integral on a locally compact Hausdorff semigroup ς is a non-trivial, positive, linear functional μ on the space of continuous real-valued functions on ς with compact supports. If ς has the property: (A) for each pair of compact sets C, D of S, the set is compact; then, whenever and a ∈ S, the function fa defined by is also in . An integral μ on a locally compact semigroup S with the property (A) is said to be right invariant if for all j ∈ and all a ∈ S.
