LetVbe a real finite dimensional vector space, and letCbe a full cone inC. In Sec. 3 we show that the group of automorphisms of a compact convex subset ofVis compact in the uniform topology, and relate the group of automorphisms ofCto the group of automorphisms of a compact convex cross-section ofC. This section concludes with an application which generalizes the result that a proper Lorentz transformation has an eigenvector in the light cone. In Sec. 4 we relate the automorphism group ofCto that of its irreducible components. In Sec. 5 we show that every compact group of automorphisms ofCleaves a compact convex cross-section invariant. This result is applied to show that ifCis a full polyhedral cone, then the automorphism group ofCis the semidirect product of the (finite) automorphism group of a polytopal cross-section and a vector group whose dimension is equal to the number of irreducible components ofC. An example shows that no such result holds for more general cones.
