On the groups of units in semigroups of probability measures

John Yuan

Vol. 60 (1975), No. 2, 303–312
Abstract

We generalize Pym’s decomposition w = μE wH μF of idempotent probability measures to the decomposition μE ∗ℋ(wH) μF of the maximal groups of units in semigroup of probability measures on a compact semitopological semigroup. We also prove that (w)(wH)N(H)∕H algebraically and topologically. With these characterizations, we verify Rosenblatt’s necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of a convolution sequence (νn)n1 of a probability measure ν on a compact topological semigroup.
