## Abstract

We consider one-parameter semigroups of linear operators ${e}^{tA}$ on $C\left(K\right)$ such that for every $f>0$ there exists ${t}_{0}>0$ so that ${e}^{tA}f>0$ for all $t>{t}_{0}$. The purpose of the talk is to give a general theory of such eventually positive semigroups and characterise them in terms of positivity properties of the resolvent ${\left(\lambda I-A\right)}^{-1}$ and the spectral projection associated with the spectral bound.

Examples of eventually positive semigroups include the semigroup generated by the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator, delay differential equations, higher order parabolic equations and some matrix semigroups.

This is joint work with Wolfgang Arendt, Jochen Glück and James Kennedy.
