Abstract

The paper contains a characterization of compact groups G\GL(V)G\subseteq\GL(V), where VV is a finite dimensional real vector space, which have the following property \SP{}: the family of convex hulls of GG-orbits is a semigroup with respect to the Minkowski addition. If GG is finite, then \SP{} holds if and only if GG is a Coxeter group; if GG is connected then \SP{} is true if and only if GG is polar. In general, GG satisfies \SP{} if and only if it is polar and its Weyl group is a Coxeter group.
