\begin{proof}
|

By (2) of \autoref{lemma:convolution-measures-property}, $M_R(G; \complex)$ with the convolution product is a Banach algebra. For any $\mu \in M_R(G; \complex)$ and $\phi \in C_c(G; \complex)$,
|
||||
\begin{align*}
|
||||
\int_G \phi d(\mu * \delta_e) &= \iint_{G \times G} \phi(xy)\mu(dx)\delta_e(dy) \\
|
||||
&= \iint_{G \times G} \phi(xy)\delta_e(y)\mu(dx) = \int_G \phi(x)\mu(dx) \\
|
||||
\int_G \phi d(\delta_e * \mu) &= \iint_{G \times G}\phi(xy)\delta_e(dx)\mu(dy) = \int_G \phi(y)\mu(dy)
|
||||
\int_G \phi d(\mu * \delta_1) &= \iint_{G \times G} \phi(xy)\mu(dx)\delta_1(dy) \\
|
||||
&= \iint_{G \times G} \phi(xy)\delta_1(dy)\mu(dx) = \int_G \phi(x)\mu(dx) \\
|
||||
\int_G \phi d(\delta_1 * \mu) &= \iint_{G \times G}\phi(xy)\delta_1(dx)\mu(dy) = \int_G \phi(y)\mu(dy)
|
||||
\end{align*}
|
||||

||||
so $\mu * \delta_e = \mu = \delta_e * \mu$, and $\delta_e$ is the identity.
|
||||
so $\mu * \delta_1 = \mu = \delta_1 * \mu$, and $\delta_1$ is the identity.
