##### Abstract

Let $S$ be a topological semigroup and $C\left(S\right)$ be the space of bounded continous functions on $S$. The space of translation invariant, bounded, linear functionals on $C\left(S\right)$ and its connection with the structure of $S$, are investigated in this paper. For topological groups $G$, not necessarily locally compact, the space of bounded, linear, translation invariant functionals, on the space $UC\left(G\right)$ of bounded uniformly continuous functions, is also investigated and its connection with the structure of $G$ pointed out. The obtained results are applied to the study of the radical of the convolution algebra $UC{\left(G\right)}^{\ast }$ (for locally compact groups, or for subgroups of locally convex linear topological spaces) and some results which seem to be unknown even when $G$ is taken to be the real line are obtained.
