Homomorphic actions of H on a compact group

From MaRDI portal





The way the additive semigroup \([0,\infty)\) carrying the usual topology can act as a semigroup of homomorphisms on a compact group is studied in this paper. It is shown such actions of \([0,\infty)\) on a compact group G can be completely described in terms of continuous homomorphisms from \([0,\infty)\) into G. Furthermore, it is proven that each such action of \([0,\infty)\) on a compact group G has a unique extension to an action of the additive group of all real numbers endowed with the usual topology on G so that a similar characterization is also valid for actions of the real numbers on a compact group.
