Abstract

Let G be a locally compact group and F a left introverted subalgebra of C(G). For each of the algebras L1(G), M(G), F* and L∞(G)* we determine the finite-dimensional minimal left ideals of the algebra (if any); in some cases we also determine the finite-dimensional minimal two-sided ideals, and in certain cases show that all minimal ideals of the algebra are finite-dimensional.
