Covering semigroups

(Harold) David Kahn

Vol. 34 (1970), No. 2, 427–439
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). A general theory is developed and applications to examples are discussed.
