Abstract

It is shown that the group algebra <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper L Superscript 1 Baseline left-parenthesis upper G right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>L</mml:mi> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>G</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{L^1}(G)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> of a locally compact group <italic>G</italic> is an ideal in the bidual <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper L Superscript 1 Baseline left-parenthesis upper G right-parenthesis Superscript asterisk asterisk"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>L</mml:mi> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>G</mml:mi> <mml:msup> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mo>∗</mml:mo> <mml:mo>∗</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{L^1}{(G)^{ \ast \ast }}</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> of <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper L Superscript 1 Baseline left-parenthesis upper G right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>L</mml:mi> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>G</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{L^1}(G)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> (equipped with Arens product) if and only if <italic>G</italic> is compact.
