Abstract |
|
A topological semigroup is a Hausdorff space S together with a continuous associative multiplication m : S ×S → S. The lifting of the group structure of a topological group to its simply connected covering space is a technique used in the theory of Lie groups. In this paper we investigate the lifting of the multiplication of a topological semigroup S to its simply connected covering space (S,φ). A general theory is developed and applications to examples are discussed. |
