Synopsis

The asymptotic behaviour of semigroups of nonlinear contractions which have a set of fixed points containing a ball of finite codimension is studied. It is shown that the ω-limit sets of such semigroups are finite dimensional tori, and that an analogue of the classical Kronecker-Weil theorem holds for such semigroups.
