The authors study fixed point properties for a semigroup of nonexpansive mappings on a closed bounded convex subset \(C\) of a Banach space. The authors extend the notion of L-embedded Banach spaces to consider L-embedded sets in a Banach space and prove the following result: Let \(S\) be a left reversible discrete semigroup and let \(\mathcal{S} = \{ T_s:s\in S\}\) be a representation of \(S\) as nonexpansive self-mappings of a nonempty L-embedded convex subset \(C\) of a Banach space with each \(T_s\) being weakly continuous on every \(S\)-invariant convex subset of \(C\). If \(C\) contains a nonempty bounded set \(B\) with \(T_s(B) = B\) for all \(s\in S\), then \(C\) has a common fixed point for \(S\) (in the sense that there exists \(x\in C\) such that \(T_s(x) = x\) for all \(s\in S\)). The authors also consider semitopological semigroups \(S\) with the Schauder fixed point property that every continuous representation of \(S\) on a nonempty compact convex set \(C\) of a separated locally convex topological vector space has a common fixed point. In the last section of the article, the authors study the extension of an action of a semitopological semigroup \(S\) on a compact Hausdorff space to the set \(S\cup \{r\}\) obtained by adjoining a right zero \(r\) to \(S\). This is used to study fixed point properties of \(S\) related to left amenability of various function spaces on \(S\).
