Operator doubles and semigroups of mappings into groups (Q1363942)

Let \(G^V\) be a set of mappings of a space \(V\) into a group \(G\). On \(G^V\) there exists a group structure that is induced by pointwise multiplication in \(G\). Modern results concerning such groups and information concerning their applications can be found in [\textit{A. Pressley} and \textit{G. Segal}, Loop groups (1988; Zbl 0638.22009)], where it is mentioned, for example, that in quantum field theory the groups of the form \(G^V\) (\(V\) is a three-dimensional Euclidean space \(\mathbb{R}^3\)) appear as gauge groups and also as current groups. In this work, it is shown that any action \(\alpha\) of a group \(G\) on \(V\) defines a complementary structure of a semigroup \(G_\alpha^V\) in \(G^V\). The main goal is to describe the semigroup \(G_\alpha^V\) as a semigroup of multiplicative operators in a corresponding operator-double.
