Synopsis

In this paper we discuss the structure semigroup of the L1-algebra of an Arens-Singer semigroup. Arising from this study we provide a complete and rather unexpected description of a nontrivial structure semigroup. We then link the above ideas with that of the almost periodic compactification of the semigroup.
