Abstract

A conjecture stating that a locally compact semigroup admits a twosided semi-invariant measure iff it contains a kernel which is a unimodular group, is proven. Also a conjecture stating that the support of an r*-invariant measure is a left group, is proven under the condition that for some a ε F (=support of the measure), aF is right cancellative. Moreover four types of invariance for regular probability measures are shown to be equivalent. Also a new proof of the equivalence of a two-sided semi-invariant probability measure and the existence of a kernel which is a compact group, is given.
