Abstract

Let SS be a semitopological semigroup and CB(S)\mathcal{CB}(S) denotes the CC^*-algebra of all bounded complex valued continuous functions on SS with uniform norm. A function fCB(S)f\in \mathcal{CB}(S) is left multiplicative \linebreak continuous if and only if TμfCB(S)\mathbf{T}_{\mu}f\in \mathcal{CB}(S) for all μ\mu in the spectrum of CB(S)\mathcal{CB}(S), where Tμf(s)=μ(Lsf)\mathbf{T}_{\mu}f(s)=\mu(L_sf) and Lsf(x)=f(sx)L_sf(x)=f(sx) for each s,xSs,x\in S. The collection of all left multiplicative continuous functions on SS is denoted by Lmc(S)Lmc(S). In this paper, the LmcLmc-compactification of a semitopological semigroup S is reconstructed as a space of ee-ultrafilters. This construction is applied to obtain some algebraic properties of \linebreak (ε,\s)(\varepsilon ,\s), that \s \s is the spectrum of Lmc(S)Lmc(S), for semitopological semigroups SS. It is shown that if S is a locally compact semitopological semigroup, then S=\sε(S)S^*=\s \setminus \varepsilon(S) is a left ideal of \s\s if and only if for each x,ySx,y\in S, there exists a compact zero set AA such that xAx\in A and {tS:ytA}\{t\in S:yt\in A\} is a compact set.
