Lie Semigroups and their Applications

Subsemigroups of finite-dimensional Lie groups that aregenerated by one-parameter semigroups are the subject ofthis book. It covers basic Lie theory for such semigroupsand some closely related topics. These include orderedhomogeneous manifolds, where the order is defined by a fieldof cones, invariant cones in Lie algebras and associatedOl'shanskii semigroups. Applications to representationtheory, symplectic geometry and Hardy spaces are also given.The book is written as an efficient guide for th
