Remarks on Enveloping Semigroups

The local structures of enveloping semigroups of simple groups are investigated. All J-coirreducible connected stabilizer submonoids are determined. The notion of a navel of a reductive monoid is introduced. The cross-section lattice of the enveloping monoid is shown to be atomic. In type A, the generating series for the number of $G\times G$-orbits is found.
