AbstractLet S be a locally compact Borel subsemigroup of a locally compact semigroup G. It is shown that the algebra of all "absolutely continuous' measures on S is isometrically order isomorphic to the algebra of all measures in M(G) which are "concentrated" and "absolutely continuous" on S.

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.

It has long been known, after Wiener (e.g. see (11), vol. 1, p. 108, (5), (8), §5·6)) that a measure μ whose Fourier transform vanishes at infinity is continuous, and generally, that μ is continuous if and only if is small ‘on the average’. Baker (1) has pursued this theme and obtained concise necessary and sufficient conditions for the continuity of μ, again expressed in terms of the rate of decrease of . On the other hand, for continuous μ, Rudin (9) points out the difficulty in obtaining criteria based solely on the asymptotic behaviour of by which one may determine whether μ has a singular component. The object of this paper is to show further that any such criteria must be complicated indeed. We shall show that the absolutely continuous measures on T = [0, 2π) whose Fourier transforms are the most well-behaved (namely, those of the form (1/2π)f(x)dx, where f has an absolutely convergent Fourier series) are such that one may modify their transforms on ‘large’ subsets of Z so that they become the transforms of singular continuous measures. Moreover, the singular continuous measures in question may be chosen so that their Fourier transforms do not vanish at infinity.

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.
