The compression semigroup of a cone is connected.
Given that a connected Lie group with nilpotent radical acts transitively by isometries on a connected Riemannian manifold , the structure of the full connected isometry group of and the imbedding of in are described. In particular, if equals its derived subgroup and its Levi factors are of noncompact type, then is normal in . In the special case of a simply transitive action of on , a transitive normal subgroup of is constructed with and a sufficient condition is given...
We show that each element in the semigroup of all non-singular upper (or lower) triangular stochastic matrices is generated by the infinitesimal elements of , which form a cone consisting of all upper (or lower) triangular intensity matrices.
