À tout cône ouvert elliptique convexe W dans l’algèbre de Lie d’un groupe de Lie G on associe un semi-groupe complexe S=G Exp (iW) qui permet une action holomorphe de G×G. Si W est l’algèbre de Lie toute entière, le semi-groupe S est un groupe complexe réductif. Dans cet article on montre que chaque semi-groupe S est une variété de Stein, qu’un domaine biinvariant D⊆S est de Stein si et seulement si D=G Exp (D h ) où D h ⊆iW est convexe, que toute fonction holomorphe sur D s’étend au plus petit domaine de Stein contenant D, et que les fonctions biinvariantes plurisousharmoniques sur D correspondent aux fonctions convexes sur D h .

To a pair of a Lie group G and an open elliptic convex cone W in its Lie algebra one associates a complex semigroup S=G Exp (iW) which permits an action of G×G by biholomorphic mappings. In the case where W is a vector space S is a complex reductive group. In this paper we show that such semigroups are always Stein manifolds, that a biinvariant domain D⊆S is Stein is and only if it is of the form G Exp (D h ), with Dh⊆iW convex, that each holomorphic function on D extends to the smallest biinvariant Stein domain containing D, and that biinvariant plurisubharmonic functions on D correspond to invariant convex functions on D h .
