Abstract: Half Lie groups exist only in infinite dimensions: They are smooth manifolds and topological groups such that right translations are smooth, but left translations are merely required to be continuous. The main examples are groups of Hs or Ck diffeomorphisms and semidirect products of a Lie group with kernel an infinite dimensional representation space. Here, we investigate mainly Banach half-Lie groups, the groups of their Ck-elements, extensions, and right invariant strong Riemannian metrics on them: surprisingly the full Hopf--Rinow theorem holds, which is wrong in general even for Hilbert manifolds.
