On the ideal structure of some algebras with an Arens product (Q2760136)

For a locally compact group \(G,\) let \(F\) be either the space \(LUC(G)\) of bounded right uniformly continuous functions on \(G\) or the space \(WAP(G)\) of weakly almost periodic functions on \(G.\) Endowed with the Arens product, the dual space \(F^*\) is a Banach algebra. A description is given of the maximal (one-sided or two-sided) ideals in \(F^*\) when \(G\) is abelian. Examples of weak*-dense maximal ideals are provided. For a restricted class of groups \(G,\) the dimension of the right ideals in \(\text{LUC}(G)^*\) is determined. Finally, elements in the radical of \(\text{LUC}(G)^*\) and \(L^1(G)^{**}\) are constructed.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0971.00063].
