LetGbe a separable, locally compact group and let d(G) be the set of all closed left ideals inL1(G) which have the formJμ= {f−f∗ μ:f∈L1(G)}−for some discrete probability measure μ. It is shown that if d(G) has a unique maximal element with respect to the order structure by set inclusion, thenGis amenable. This answers a problem of G.A. Willis. We also examine cardinal numbers of the sets of maximal elements in d(G) for nonamenable groups.
