Let X be a rearrangement-invariant space of Lebesgue-measurable functions on ${ℝ}^n$, such as the classical Lebesgue, Lorentz or Orlicz spaces. Given a nonnegative, measurable (weight) function on ${ℝ}^n$, define $X\left(w\right)=F:{ℝ}^n\to ℂ:\infty >\parallel F{\parallel }_{X\left(w\right)}:=\parallel Fw{\parallel }_X$. We investigate conditions on such a weight w that guarantee X(w) is an algebra under the convolution product F∗G defined at $x\in {ℝ}^n$ by $\left(F\ast G\right)\left(x\right)={ʃ}_{{ℝ}^n}F(x-y)G\left(y\right)dy$; more precisely, when $\parallel F\ast G{\parallel }_{X\left(w\right)}\le \parallel F{\parallel }_{X\left(w\right)}\parallel G{\parallel }_{X\left(w\right)}$ for all F,G ∈ X(w).
