    Abstract

    For 0 < s < 1, let phi_s(z)=sz+(1-s). We investigate the unital C*-algebra
    generated by the semigroup {C_{phi_s} : 0 < s < 1} of composition operators
    acting on the Hardy space of the unit disk. We determine the joint approximate
    point spectrum of a related collection of operators and show that the quotient
    of the C*-algebra by its commutator ideal is isomorphic to the direct sum of
    the complex numbers and the algebra of almost periodic functions on the real
    line. In addition, we show that the C*-algebra is irreducible.
