Our argument, inspired by an idea of Vogt, makes the role of the underlying space completely transparent and also works if the space does not contain the constant functions - a situation in which all earlier proofs become technically quite involved. We also show how the argument can be adapted to yield the same result for semigroups that are only eventually positive rather than positive.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-10-09T14:38:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47D06", "47B65", "47A10" ], "keywords": [ "continuous functions", "positive semigroups", "growth bound coincide", "constant functions", "earlier proofs" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
