Abstract

The families of right (left) translation finite subsets of a discrete infinite group Γ are defined and shown to be ideals. Their kernels ZR and ZL are identified as the closure of the set of products pq (p⋅ q) in the Čech-Stone compactification βΓ. Consequently it is shown that the map π: βΓ→ ΓWAP, the canonical semigroup homomorphism from βΓ onto ΓWAP, the universal semitopological semigroup compactification of Γ, is a homeomorphism on the complement of ZR ∪ ZL.
