Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

A suitable set $A$ in a topological semigroup $S$ is a subset of $S$ which contains no idempotents, any limit points of $A$ in $S$ are idempotents, and $A$, together with all idempotents of $S$, generates a dense subsemigroup of $S$. Following work of Hofmann and Morris, who showed that every compact Hausdorff topological group has such a suitable set, this paper extends that result to several classes of compact semigroups all of whose members satisfy $S^2=S$. In particular all compact simple semigroups are shown to have a suitable set. Cartesian products of compact monoids each with a suitable set have suitable sets as do continuous homomorphic images of compact semigroups with suitable sets. It is shown that certain classes of $\cal H $-chain semigroups have suitable sets. The class of irreducible semigroups falls into two classes, where the members of one class always have a suitable set and in the other class a semigroup which contains no suitable set is constructed. It is shown that compactifications of subsemigroups of Lie groups tend to have suitable sets; these include the `triangle semigroup' as a typical test case. If $S$ is compact, connected, and $S^2\ne S$, then $S$ cannot have a suitable set.
