Semisimple Banach algebras generated by compact groups of operators on a Banach space (Q854054)

Let \(\tau\) be a strongly continuous representation of a compact group \(G\) on a Banach space \(X\), \(L(X)\) the Banach algebra of all continuous linear operators on \(X\), and \(M(G)\) the Banach space of all bounded complex-valued regular Borel measures on \(G\). It is proved that the closure in \(L(X)\), with respect to the weak operator topology, of the algebra generated by the Fourier transforms \(\int_G \tau(t)\,d\mu(t)\), with \(\mu \in M(G)\), is a semi-simple Banach algebra.
