Abstract: In this paper we continue to develop the topological method started in Santos-San Martin cite{ariasm} to get semigroup generators of semi-simple Lie groups. Consider a subset $GammasubsetG$ that contains a semi-simple subgroup $G_1$ of $G$. Then $Gamma$ generates $G$ if $mathrmAdleft(Gammaight)$ generates a Zariski dense subgroup of the algebraic group $mathrmAdleft(Gight)$. The proof is reduced to check that some specific closed orbits of $G_1$ in the flag manifolds of $G$ are not trivial in the sense of algebraic topology. Here, we consider three different cases of semi-simple Lie groups $G$ and subgroups $G_{1}subsetG$.
