Abstract

We study algebraic and topological properties of the convolution semigroups of probability measures on a topological groups and show that a compact Clifford topological semigroup SS embeds into the convolution semigroup P(G)P(G) over some topological group GG if and only if SS embeds into the semigroup exp(G)\exp(G) of compact subsets of GG if and only if SS is an inverse semigroup and has zero-dimensional maximal semilattice. We also show that such a Clifford semigroup SS embeds into the functor-semigroup F(G)F(G) over a suitable compact topological group GG for each weakly normal monadic functor FF in the category of compacta such that F(G)F(G) contains a GG-invariant element (which is an analogue of the Haar measure on GG).
