Exposed points of left invariant means (Q1085378)

Let S be a left amenable semigroup and let ML(S) be the set of left invariant means on the Banach space of all bounded functions on S with the usual sup-norm. The author proves the following results concerning exposed points of ML(S): (1) ML(S) has exposed points iff S has finite left ideals. (2) \(\mu\) is an exposed point of ML(S) iff it is the arithmetic average on a minimal finite left ideal of S. (3) The number of exposed points of ML(S) is exactly the number of minimal finite left ideals of S. (4) If ML(S) has exposed point, then it is the \(w^*\)-closed convex hull of all its exposed points.
