In [6] we announced the following Conjecture: Let S be a locally compact semigroup and let μ be an idempotent regular probability measure on S with support F. Then(a) F is a closed completely simple subsemigroup.(b) F is isomorphic both algebraically and topologically to a paragroup ([2], p.46) X × G × Y where X and Y are locally compact left-zero and right-zero semi-groups respectively and G is a compact group. In X × G × Y the topology is the product topology and the multiplication of any two elements is defined by , x where [y, x′] is continuous mapping from Y × X → G.(c) The induced μ on X × G × Y can be decomposed as a product measure μX × μG× μY where μX and μY are two regular probability measures on X and Y respectively and μG is the normed Haar measure on G.

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.

Locally Compact Semigroups

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.

Poisson Space

SynopsisUsing techniques from probability theory, it has been established that if μ is a probability measure on a separable, locally compact group, then the space of μ-harmonic functions on the group can be identified with C(X) for some compact, Hausdorff space X. The space X is known as the Poisson space of μ. We generalise this result in the context of a measure μ on a locally compact semigroup S, in particular establishing the existence of a Poisson space for non-separable groups. The proof is non-probabilistic, and depends on properties of projections on C(K)(K compact Hausdorff). We then show that if S is compact and the support of μ generates S, then the Poisson space associated with μ, is X, where X×G×Y is the Rees product representing the kernel of S.

AbstractWe show that a locally compact semigroup S is topological left amenable iff a certain space of left uniformly continuous functions on the convolution semigroup of probability measures M0(S) on S is left amenable or equivalently iff the convolution semigroup M0(S) has the fixed point property for uniformly continuous affine actions on compact convex sets.

Locally Compact Semigroups

An integral on a locally compact Hausdorff semigroup S is a nontrivial, positive linear function μ on the space K(S) of real-valued continuous functions on S with compact support. If S has the property: is compact whenever A is compact subset of S and s ∈ S, then the function fa defined by fa(x) = f(xa) is in K(S) whenever f ∈ K(S) and a ∈ S An integral on a locally compact semigroup S with the property (P) is said to be right invariant if μ(fa) = μ(f) for all f ∈ K(S) and a ∈ S.

Let {Xn} (n = 1, 2 , …) be a stochastic process. The random variables comprising it or the process itself will be said to be interchangeable if, for any choice of distinct positive integers i 1, i 2, H 3 … , ik, the joint distribution of depends merely on k and is independent of the integers i 1, i 2, … , i k. It was shown by De Finetti (3) that the probability measure for any interchangeable process is a mixture of probability measures of processes each consisting of independent and identically distributed random variables.

Regular Borel Measure

A regular Borel measure μ is said to be r*-invariant on a locally compact semigroup if μ(Ba-1) = μ(B) for all Borel sets B and points a of S, where Ba-1 ={xϵS, xaϵB}. In [1] Argabright conjectured that the support of an r*-invariant measure on a locally compact semigroup is a left group, Mukherjea and Tserpes [4] proved this conjecture in the case that the measure is finite; however their method of proof fails when the measure is infinite.
