The aim of this paper is to extend to a suitable class of topological semigroups parts of well-defined theory of representations of topological groups. In attempting to obtain these results it was soon realized that no general theory was likely to be obtainable for all locally compact semigroups. The reason for this is the absence of any analogue of the group algebra L l(G). So the theory in this paper is restricted to a certain family of topological semigroups. In this account we shall only give the details of those parts of proofs which depart from the standard proofs of analogous theorems for groups.On a locally compact semigroup S the algebra of all μ ∊ M(S) for which the mapping and of S to M(S) (where denotes the point mass at x) are continuous when M(S) has the weak topology was first studied in the sequence of papers [1, 2, 3] by A. C. and J. W. Baker.
