We prove that if t is a compact linear operator that is not quasi-nilpotent and is appropriately normalised, then the closed semi-algebra A(t) generated by t is locally compact. The theory of locally compact semi-algebras (2) is therefore applicable to A(t), and we show that it can be used to obtain spectral properties of t.
