We characterize closed subsemigroups and closed left, right, and two-sided ideals in any semigroup compactification of any semitopological semigroup $S$ in terms of these filters and in terms of ideals of the corresponding $m$-admissible subalgebra of $C(S)$. Furthermore, we characterize those points in any semigroup compactification of $S$ which belong either to the smallest ideal of the semigroup compactification or to the closure of this smallest ideal.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-07-11T09:03:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "semigroup compactification", "smallest ideal", "semitopological semigroup", "characterize closed subsemigroups", "admissible subalgebra" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1302.1742A" } } }
