    Let \(\mu\) be a bounded measure on a locally compact unimodular group \(G\). If \(L^\mu_1 (G) = \mu*L_1 (G)* \mu\) is a commutative convolution algebra, \(\mu\) is said to be a Gelfand measure. The author shows that, if \(\mu\) is a Gelfand measure, the Banach algebra \(L^\mu_1 (G)\) is semisimple, and studies the closed ideals and the bounded linear operators on \(L^\mu_1 (G)\) which are invariant under \(\mu\)- translations \(T_x\), \((T_xf) (y) = \int f(xt^{- 1} y) d \mu (t)\). When \(G\) is compact, the spectrum of \(L^\mu_1 (G)\) is compact. Then \(L^\mu_1 (G)\) has the Wiener property, and harmonic synthesis holds in \(L^\mu_1 (G)\), \(L^\mu_2 (G)\), and \(L^\mu_\infty (G)\).
