Parallelizability of Lie monoids

A Lie monoid is a monoid, together with a structure of a smooth manifold (possibly with a boundary), such that the monoid multiplication is smooth. If all left (or right) translations in a Lie monoid $...

Lie groups vs Lie monoids

Does there exist a well developed theory of a class of objects which might rightfully be called Lie monoids? By this I mean with axioms similar to those of Lie groups, but with the axiomatic existence ...

Lie monoids as monoids internal to the category of smooth manifolds?

This question can be thought as a complement to this one. Lie groups can be defined as groups internal to the category of smooth manifolds. Lie monoids, however, as a particular case of Lie semigroups,...

Closed submonoid of $(\mathbb{C}^*)^n$

The answer of this question might be known but I was not able to find any answer. Let $n\geq 1$ and $S$ be a closed submonoid of $(\mathbb{C}^*)^n$, that is, a closed and stable by product subset of $(...

Is Zariski closure of finitely generated matrix semigroup computable?

In general, can the Zariski closure of the semigroup of matrices $\langle M_1, \ldots, M_k \rangle$ be algorithmically computed (at least in theory)? For this purpose I'm happy to assume the ...

Are the roots of an infinitely divisible probability infinitely divisible themselves?

Let $\mu$ be an infinitely divisible probability on a topological group $G$. If $\nu ^{* n} = \mu$ for some $n$, is $\nu$ an infinitely divisible probability too? A sufficient criterion would be to ...
