    In this paper the authors deal with the question of when a subsemigroup of a topological group is itself a topological group. First, they define a topological group \(G\) as \textit{Weil-adapted} if the closure of each subsemigroup is a group. Subsequently, a series of interesting auxiliary lemmas are proved which allow them to obtain the following conclusions: (1) Any locally compact subsemigroup of a Weil-adapted topological group is a closed subgroup, as a corollary it follows that any locally compact subsemigroup of a precompact group is a group; (2) Each commutative cancellative locally compact pseudocompact topological semigroup with open shifts is a compact topological group.
