AbstractLet S be an ideal of the free inverse monoid on a set X, and let ℬ denote the Banach algebra l1(S). It is shown that the following statements are equivalent: ℬ is *-primitive; ℬ is prime; X is infinite. A similar result holds if ℬ is replaced by ℂ[S], the complex semigroup algebra of S.

AbstractIt is shown that the complex semigroup algebra of a free monoid of rank at least two is *-primitive, where * denotes the involution on the algebra induced by word-reversal on the monoid.

The monoids considered are the free monoid Mx and the free monoid-with-involution MIx on a nonempty set X. In each case, relative to a simply-defined involution, an explicit construction is given for a separating family of continuous star matrix representations of the l1-algebra of the monoid and it is shown that this algebra admits a faithful trace. The results are based on earlier work by M. J. Crabb et al. concerning the complex semigroup algebras of Mx and MIx.

A semigroup S with an involution * is called a special involution semigroup if and only if, for every finite nonempty subset T of S,.It is shown that a semigroup is inverse if and only if it is a special involution semigroup in which every element invariant under the involution is periodic. Other examples of special involution semigroups are discussed; these include free semigroups, totally ordered cancellative commutative semigroups and certain semigroups of matrices. Some properties of the semigroup algebras of special involution semigroups are also derived. In particular, it is shown that their real and complex semigroup algebras are semiprimitive.

This paper is mostly concerned with arbitrary finite monoids M with the complex semigroup algebra [Formula: see text] semisimple. Using the 1942 work of Clifford, we develop for these monoids a theory of cuspidal representations. Harish-Chandra's philosophy of cuspidal representations of finite groups can then be derived with an appropriate specialization. For [Formula: see text], we use Solomon's Hecke algebra to obtain a correspondence between the 'simple' representations of [Formula: see text] and the representations of the symmetric inverse semigroup. We also prove a semisimplicity theorem for a special class of finite monoids of the type which was earlier used by the authors to prove the semisimplicity of [Formula: see text].
