The topological center of the spectrum of the algebra generated by the maps \(\exp q(t)\) (Q744864)

The author deals with the enveloping semigroups of some flows on the discrete additive group of the real numbers \(\mathbb {R}\). In Section 3, the flow \((\mathbb {R}, \Gamma^n)\) is introduced, where \(\Gamma\) denotes the Bohr compactification of \(\mathbb {R}\), \(n\in \mathbb{N}\). In Section 4, it is shown that the spectrum \(M (W_n (\mathbb {R}))\) of the norm closed algebra \(W_n (\mathbb {R})\) generated by the family \(\{ \exp (q(t)); q(t) \text{ is a real polynomial of degree less than } n+1\}\), is isomorphic to \(\Gamma ^n\). Then, it is proved that the topological center of \(M (W (\mathbb {R}))\) is equal to \(\epsilon (\mathbb{R})\), where \(\epsilon: \mathbb{R}\to M (W (\mathbb {R}))\) is the evaluation mapping.
