Extract

It was remarked in (1) that many of the results valid for compact (this term is taken to imply Hausdorff) semigroups with jointly continuous multiplication also hold if the multiplication is only separately continuous. It is the purpose of this note to show that this is true of the structure theorem for compact simple semigroups. Any unsubstantiated facts about semigroups which we use may be found in the second section of (1) (the results given there do not depend on the assumption that a semigroup should contain an identity).
