Weakly almost periodic representations of semigroups by Markov operators (Q579568)

Improving a result of M. Rosenblatt, B. Jamison showed that, if T is a weakly almost periodic, irreducible, Markov operator on C(X) and if \(f\in C(X)\) has the property that \(0\in \{T^ nf\}^-\) (weak closure), then \(\lim_{n\to \infty}\| T^ nf\| =0\). Viewing this as a conclusion about certain representations of \({\mathbb{N}}\), the author proves here that the analogous conclusion holds for such representations of any semitopological semigroup that satisfies a compactness condition and an amenability condition.
