Let $G$ be a locally compact group. In this note, we characterise non-degenerate $*$-representations of $A_\Phi(G)$ and $B_\Phi(G).$ We also study spectral subspaces associated to a non-degenerate Banach space representation of $A_\Phi(G).$

Let $K$ be a commutative hypergroup. In this article, we study the unbounded translation invariant operators on $L^p(K),\, 1\leq p \leq \infty.$ For $p \in \{1,2\},$ we characterize translation invariant operators on $L^p(K)$ in terms of the Fourier transform. We prove an interpolation theorem for translation invariant operators on $L^p(K)$ and we also discuss the uniqueness of the closed extension of such an operator on $L^p(K)$. Finally, for $p \in \{1,2\},$ we prove that the space of all closed translation invariant operators on $L^p(K)$ forms a commutative algebra over the field of complex numbers. We also prove Wendel's theorem for densely defined closed linear operators on $L^1(K).$
