Abstract

We prove that an unbounded operator Z on a Banach space , which commutes with a representation of a Lie group G, is the generator of a contraction semigroup, under conditions on Z and G which have not previously been investigated. The case of an unbounded derivation Z on a C*-algebra is considered in particular detail.
