Abstract:
It is proved that every uniquely divisible Abelian semigroup admits an injective subadditive embedding in a convex cone. As an application, the classical theory of generators of one-parameter operator semigroups is generalized to the case in which the parameter ranges over a uniquely divisible semigroup.
Keywords:Abelian semigroup, unique divisibility, convex cone, infinitesimal generator of an operator semigroup.
