Extract

A monothetic semigroup is a topological semigroup with jointly continuous multiplication which contains a dense cyclic subsemigroup. These semi-groups arise in a natural way in the study of semi-algebras. In (4) we showed that a compact monothetic semigroup in a Banach algebra can be characterized in terms of the spectral properties of a generating element. In this paper these spectral theorems are linked with the well-known structure theory of compact semigroups.
