In a recent paper, E. Størmer, among other things, proves the existence of an isometric isomorphism from the measure algebra M(G) of a locally compact abelian group G into BB(L2(G)), ([6], Proposition 4.6). Here we give another proof for this result which works for non-commutative G as well as commutative G. We also prove that the algebra L1(G, λ), with λ the left (or right) Haar measure, is not isometrically isomorphic with an algebra of operators on a Hilbert space. The proofs of these two results are taken from the author's Ph.D. thesis [4], submitted to the University of Edinburgh before Størmer's paper. The author wishes to thank Dr. A. M. Sinclair for his help and encouragement.
