AbstractThe enveloping semigroup of a flow (X, T) has been used to study its dynamical properties. In this paper a detailed study is made of the class of enveloping semigroups which arise in the study of flows where T is a subgroup of GL(V) and X is the associated projective space, P(V).

AbstractCompact right topological groups appear naturally in topological dynamics. Some continuity properties of the one arising as an enveloping semigroup from the distal function are considered here (and, by way of comparison, the enveloping semigroups arising from two almost automorphic functions are discussed). The continuity properties are established either explicitly or by citing a theorem which is proved here and gives some characterizations of almost periodic functions. One characterization is proved using the result (essentially due to W. A. Veech) that a distal, almost automorphic function is almost periodic. A proof of this last result is also given.

The structures of the enveloping semigroups of certain elementary finite- and infinite-dimensional distal dynamical systems are given, answering open problems posed in 1982 by Namioka [Ellis groups and compact right topological groups. Conference in Modern Analysis and Probability (New Haven, CT, 1982) (Contemporary Mathematics, 26). American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 1984, 295–300]. The universal minimal system with (topological) quasi-discrete spectrum is obtained from the infinite-dimensional case. It is proved that, on the one hand, a minimal system is a factor of this universal system if and only if its enveloping semigroup has quasi-discrete spectrum and that, on the other hand, such a factor need not have quasi-discrete spectrum in itself. This leads to a natural generalization of the property of having quasi-discrete spectrum, which is named the ${\mathcal{W}}$-property.

AbstractWe provide a description of the enveloping semigroup of the affine unipotent transformation T:X→X of the form T(x)=Ax+α, where A is a lower triangular unipotent matrix, α is a constant vector, and X is a finite-dimensional torus. In particular, we show that in this case the enveloping semigroup is a nilpotent group whose nilpotency class is at most the dimension of the underlying torus.
