In his Retiring Presidential address, delivered before the Annual
Meeting of The American Mathematical Society on December, 1948, the
late Professor Einar Hille spoke on his recent results on the Lie
theory of semigroups of linear transformations, . . * "So far only
commutative operators have been considered and the product law . .
. is the simplest possible. The non-commutative case has resisted
numerous attacks in the past and it is only a few months ago that
any headway was made with this problem. I shall have the pleasure
of outlining the new theory here; it is a blend of the classical
theory of Lie groups with the recent theory of one-parameter
semigroups. " The list of references in the subsequent publication
of Hille's address (Bull. Amer. Math *. Soc. 56 (1950)) includes
pioneering papers of I. E. Segal, I. M. Gelfand, and K. Yosida. In
the following three decades the subject grew tremendously in
vitality, incorporating a number of different fields of
mathematical analysis. Early papers of V. Bargmann, I. E. Segal, L.
G~ding, Harish-Chandra, I. M. Singer, R. Langlands, B. Konstant,
and E. Nelson developed the theoretical basis for later work in a
variety of different applications: Mathematical physics, astronomy,
partial differential equations, operator algebras, dynamical
systems, geometry, and, most recently, stochastic filtering theory.
As it turned out, of course, the Lie groups, rather than the
semigroups, provided the focus of attention.
