In this paper we prove the following result: The ideal I has a unit element iff it is principal. This is the noncommutative version of the Glicksberg–Host–Parreau Theorem. The paper also contains an abstract version of this theorem.MathematicsA characterization of the closed unital ideals of the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra B(G) of a locally compact amenable group GJournal Article186950100004Q18790
