Ideal properties and integral extension of convolution operators on 
Abstract
We investigate operator ideal properties of convolution operators
(via measures
) acting in
, with
a compact abelian group. Of interest is when
is compact, as this corresponds to
having an integrable density relative to Haar measure
, i.e.,
. Precisely then is there an \textit{optimal} Banach function space
available which contains
properly, densely and continuously and such that
has a continuous,
-valued, linear extension
to
. A detailed study is made of
and
. Amongst other things, it is shown that
is compact iff the finitely additive,
-valued set function
is norm
-additive iff
, whereas the corresponding optimal extension
is compact iff
iff
has finite variation. We also characterize when
admits a Bochner (resp.\ Pettis)
-integrable,
-valued density.
