Review text

Let \(S\) be a semitopological semigroup, equipped with a continuous involution, \(F(S)\) be the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra of \(S\), and \(R(S)\) be the representation algebra of \(S\), as introduced in [\textit{A. To-Ming Lau}, Pac. J. Math.\ 77, 165--181 (1978; Zbl 0426.43006)] and [\textit{C. F. Dunkl} and \textit{D. E. Ramirez}, Representations of commutative semitopological semigroups, Springer-Verlag (1975; Zbl 0302.22001)], respectively. Furthermore, let \(Y=\sigma(F(S))\) be the spectrum of \(F(S)\), equipped with its natural semigroup structure, and \(K(Y)\) be its minimal two-sided ideal. In the paper under review, amenability properties of the algebras \(F(S)\), \(R(S)\) and their uniform closures \(\overline{F(S)}\) and \(\overline{R(S)}\) are investigated. The authors show that \(F(S)\) is amenable if and only if \(K(Y)\) is a topological group. Furthermore, \(F(S)\) is left (right) amenable if and only if \(K(Y)\) is a minimal right (left) ideal of \(Y\). It is also shown that \(R(S)\) is amenable if and only if so is \(\overline{R(S)}\), and that \(F(S)\) is amenable if and only if \(\overline{F(S)}\) is amenable, if and only if \(\overline{F(S)}=\text{SAP}(S)\oplus C\) for some translation invariant, closed vector subspace \(C\) of \(\overline{F(S)}\), where \(\text{SAP}(S)\) is the Banach algebra of strongly almost periodic functions on \(S\).
