Zusammenfassung:Let G be an Abelian topological semigroup with unit. By a classical result (called Theorem  A ), if V is a finite dimensional translation invariant linear space of complex valued continuous functions defined on G , then every element of V is an exponential polynomial. More precisely, every element of V is of the form ∑ i = 1 n p i · m i , where m 1 , … , m n are exponentials belonging to V , and p 1 , … , p n are polynomials of continuous additive functions. We generalize this statement by replacing the set of continuous functions by any algebra A of complex valued functions such that whenever an exponential m belongs to A , then m - 1 ∈ A . As special cases we find that Theorem  A remains valid even if the topology on G is not compatible with the operation on G , or if the set of continuous functions is replaced by the set of measurable functions with respect to an arbitrary σ -algebra. We give two proofs of the result. The first is based on Theorem  A . The second proof is independent, and seems to be more elementary than the existing proofs of Theorem  A .
