Abstract: We consider locally equi-continuous strongly continuous semigroups on locally convex spaces (X,tau). First, we show that if (X,tau) has the property that weak* compact sets of the dual are equi-continuous, then strong continuity of the semigroup is equivalent to weak continuity and local equi-continuity. Second, we consider locally convex spaces (X,tau) that are also equipped with a `suitable' auxiliary norm. We introduce the set N of tau continuous semi-norms that are bounded by the norm. If (X,tau) has the property that N is closed under countable convex combinations, then a number of Banach space results can be generalised in a straightforward way. Importantly, we extend the Hille-Yosida theorem. We apply the results to the study of transition semigroups of Markov processes on complete separable metric spaces.
