The generator of a similar semigroup #
The transported semigroup S.similar e of TauCeti.Analysis.Semigroups.Similarity has the
transported generator: the domain is the image of D(A) under e, and the action is
e ∘ A ∘ e⁻¹.
The first application is a commutation criterion. A semigroup whose generator commutes with an
invertible operator J has J ∘ S t ∘ J⁻¹ with the same generator, so by uniqueness it agrees
with S; this is how complex linearity of a semigroup is read off its generator.

y lies in the generator domain of the transported semigroup iff e⁻¹ y lies in the
generator domain of S.
The generator of the transported semigroup is e ∘ A ∘ e⁻¹.
Commutation criterion. A C₀-semigroup whose generator commutes with an invertible
operator e (in the sense that e maps the generator domain onto itself and intertwines the
generator) is invariant under conjugation by e: S.similar e = S.
The operators of a C₀-semigroup commute with an invertible operator that commutes with the generator.
