in this paper we establish a characterization of abelian compact hausdorff semigroups with unique idempotent and ideal retraction property. we also introduce a function algebra on a semitopological semigroup whose associated semigroup compactification is universal withrespect to these properties.

Let G be a reductive connected linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic and let g be its Lie algebra. First we correct and generalise a well-known result about the Picard group of G. Then we prove that, if the derived group is simply connected and g satisfies a mild condition, the algebra K[G] of regular functions on G that are invariant under the act...

In the present paper for a large family of topological semigroups, namely foundation semigroups, for which topological groups and discrete semigroups are elementary examples, it is shown that ?(S) is the dual of a function algebra.
