Semigroups in Urbanik convolution algebras (Q2638641)

For a generalized convolution operation \(\circ\), cf. \textit{K. Urbanik} [Stud. Math. 23, 217-245 (1964; Zbl 0171.395)], we introduce an \(\circ\)- semigroup \((\mu_ t)\), \(t\geq 0\), of subprobability measures on \(R_+\) which satisfies the natural requirement that \(\mu_ t\circ \mu_ s=\mu_{t+s}\), \(t,s\in {\mathbb{R}}_+\). The Lévy-Khinchin formula for such a semigroup plays a key role in studying the related concepts like resolvent, transience, potential kernels and generalized convolution semigroups of contractions. It turns out that many results of the classical theory can be generalized to the Urbanik convolution case.
