Synopsis

In this paper we consider the problem of defining a convolution, analogous to the classical convolution of scalar measures, of measures defined on the Borel sets of a locally compact semi-group S and having values in a Banach algebra . Using the bilinearintegral introduced by Bartle we show that the formalism of the scalar case persists in situations of considerable generality so that the formula

suitably interpreted, gives a Banach algebra structure to a large class of valued measures defined on S. Themethods exploit the connection between vector measures and operators and involve some results of independent interest.
