CATEGORY Theorems for stable semigroups

Inspired by the classical category theorems of Halmos and Rohlin for discrete mea-sure preserving transformations, we prove analogous results in the abstract setting of unitary and isometric C0-semigroups on a separable Hilbert space. More presicely, we show that the set of all weakly stable unitary groups (isometric semigroups) is of first category, while the set of all almost weakly stable unitary groups (isometric semigroups) is residual for an appropriate topology
