Abstract:
In this paper we initiate the study of representation theory of compact, not necessarily commutative, uniquely divisible semigroups. We show that a certain class of semigroups are all topologically isomorphic to real matrix semigroups. The proof utilizes a group embedding theorem and the standard results on homomorphisms of Lie groups into matrix groups.References
