Recall that, until the end of the chapter, K is assumed to be of characteristic 0.
1. Passage from Lie algebra morphisms to Lie group morphisms
Lemma 1
Let G be a Lie group germ and h a Lie subalgebra of L(G) admitting a topological supplement. The union of the gh (resp. hg) for g∈G is an integrable vector subbundle of T(G).
By considering the left trivialization of T(G) (§ 2, no. 3), it is seen immediately that the gh, for g∈G, are the fibres of a vector subbundle E of T(G). Let g∈G. The set of (La)g, where a∈h, is equal to gh. Now, if a and b belong to h, then [La,Lb]=L[a,b] and [a,b]∈h. Hence E is integrable (Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 9.3.3 (iv)). The argument is similar for the hg.
The integral foliation (Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 9.3.2) of the union of the gh (resp. hg) is called the left (resp. right) foliation of G associated with h.
Theorem 1
Let G and H be Lie group germs and f a continuous morphism of L(G) into L(H). (i) There exist an open Lie subgroup germ G′ of G and a morphism ϕ of G′ into H such that f=L(ϕ). (ii) Let G1,G2 be open Lie subgroup germs of G and ϕi a morphism of Gi into H such that f=L(ϕi) for i=1,2. Then ϕ1 and ϕ2 coincide on a neighbourhood of e. Let p1:G×H→G,p2:G×H→H be the canonical projections. For all (g,h)∈G×H, let fg,h be the mapping ga↦hf(a) of Tg(G)=gL(G) into Th(H)=hL(H). By considering the left trivializations of T(G) and T(H), it is seen immediately that the fg,h define a morphism of p1∗T(G) into* p2∗T(H). Let a be the graph of f; it is a closed Lie subalgebra of L(G)×L(H) which admits {0}×L(H) as topological supplement. For all (g,h)∈G×H, the graph of fg,h is (g,h)⋅a. The union of these graphs is an integrable vector subbundle of T(G×H) (Lemma 1). Then there exist (Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 9.3.7) an open neighbourhood U of eG in G and an analytic mapping ϕ of U into H such that ϕ(eG)=eH and Tg(ϕ)=fg,ϕ(g) for all g∈U. In particular, TeG(ϕ)=f.
Let V be an open neighbourhood of eG in G such that, for (s,t)∈V×V, the products st and ϕ(s)ϕ(t) are defined and st∈U. Consider the mappings α1,α2 of V×V into H defined by
α1(s,t)=ϕ(ts),α2(s,t)=ϕ(t)ϕ(s).
Then α1(t,e)=ϕ(t)=α2(t,e). On the other hand, let t be fixed in V and βi be the mapping s↦αi(s,t) of V into H. Then, for all s∈V and all a∈L(G),
Ts(β1)(sa)Ts(β2)(sa)=Tts(ϕ)(tsa)=fts,ϕ(ts)(tsa)=ϕ(ts)f(a)=fs,β1(s)(sa)=ϕ(t)Ts(ϕ)(sa)=ϕ(t)fs,ϕ(s)(sa)=ϕ(t)ϕ(s)f(a)=fs,β2(s)(sa).
Hence (Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 9.3.7) α1 and α2 coincide on a neighbourhood of (eG,eG). The restriction of ϕ to a sufficiently small symmetric open neighbourhood of eG is therefore a morphism of Lie group germs, whence (i).
Let G1,G2,ϕ1,ϕ2 be as in (ii) and let us prove that ϕ1,ϕ2 coincide on a neighbourhood of eG. There exists an open neighbourhood W of eG such that ϕ1(ts)=ϕ1(t)ϕ1(s), ϕ2(ts)=ϕ2(t)ϕ2(s) for all s,t in W. Then, if s∈W and a∈L(G),
Ts(ϕi)(sa)=ϕi(s)Te(ϕi)(a)=ϕi(s)f(a)=fs,ϕi(s)(sa)
for i=1,2. As ϕ1(eG)=eH=ϕ2(eG), it follows from Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 9.3.7 that ϕ1 and ϕ2 coincide on a neighbourhood of eG.
Corollary 1
Let G and H be two Lie group germs. If L(G) and L(H) are isomorphic, G and H are locally isomorphic.
This follows from Theorem 1 and § 1, no. 10, Proposition 21.
Corollary 2
Let G be a Lie group germ. If L(G) is commutative, G is locally isomorphic to the additive Lie group L(G).
The Lie algebra of the additive group L(G) is isomorphic to L(G). Hence it suffices to apply Corollary 1.
Corollary 3
Let G be a Lie group. If L(G) is commutative, G contains a commutative open subgroup.
There exists an open Lie subgroup germ U of G which is commutative (Corollary 2). Let V be a neighbourhood of e such that V^2 ⊂ U. Then xy = yx for all x, y in V. Hence the subgroup of G generated by V is commutative; it is obviously open.
2. Passage from Lie algebras to Lie groups
We shall denote the Hausdorff series by H(X, Y) (Chapter II, § 6, no. 4, Definition 1).
Lemma 2
Let L be a complete normed Lie algebra over R or C. Let G be the set of x∈L such that ∥x∥<31log23. Let θ be the mapping x↦−x of G into G. Let H be the restriction to G×G of the Hausdorff function of L (Chapter II, § 7, no. 2). (i) (G,0,θ,H) is a Lie group germ. (ii) Let ϕ be the identity mapping of G into L. The differential of ϕ at 0 is an isomorphism of the normable Lie algebra L(G) onto L. (i) follows from Chapter II, § 7, no. 2. As ϕ is a chart on G, the differential ψ of ϕ at 0 is an isomorphism of normable spaces. On the other hand, the expansion as an integral series H=∑i,j≥0Hij of the mapping H is such that H11(x,y)=21[x,y]. By § 3, Proposition 24, for all a,b in L(G),
ψ([a,b])=H11(ψ(a),ψ(b))−H11(ψ(b),ψ(a))=[ψ(a),ψ(b)] which proves (ii).
G is called the Lie group germ defined by L.
Suppose that K is ultrametric. Let p be the characteristic of the residue field of K. If p=0, let λ=∣p∣1/(p−1); if p=0, let λ=1.
Lemma 3
Let L be a complete normed Lie algebra over K. Let G be the set of x∈L such that ∥x∥<λ. Let H:G×G→G be the Hausdorff function of L (Chapter II, § 8, no. 3). (i) With the law of composition H, G is a Lie group in which 0 is identity element and −x the inverse of x for all x∈G. (ii) Let ϕ be the identity mapping of G into L. The differential of ϕ at 0 is an isomorphism of the normable Lie algebra L(G) onto L. (iii) For all μ∈R+∗, let Gμ be the set of x∈L such that ∥x∥<μ. Then the Gμ, for μ<λ, form a fundamental system of open and closed neighbourhoods of 0 and are subgroups of G. Assertions (i) and (iii) follow from Chapter II, § 8, no. 3, Proposition 3 and (ii) can be proved as in Lemma 2.
G is called the Lie group defined by L.
Theorem 2
Let L be a complete normable Lie algebra. There exists a Lie group germ G such that L(G) is isomorphic to L. Two such Lie group germs are locally isomorphic.
The first assertion follows from Lemmas 2 and 3. The second assertion follows from Corollary 1 to Theorem 1 of no. 1.
Corollary 1
Let G be a Lie group. There exists a neighbourhood of e which contains no finite subgroup distinct from {e}. If K = R or C, there exists an open neighbourhood of e which contains no subgroup distinct from {e}.
We write L(G) = L. Choose a norm on L defining the topology on L and such that ∥[x,y]∥≤∥x∥∥y∥ for all x, y in L.
Suppose that K = R or C. Let G' be the Lie group germ defined by L. There exist an open ball U' of centre 0 in G' and an isomorphism ϕ of the Lie group germ U' onto an open neighbourhood U of e in G. Let V' = 21U′, V=ϕ(V′), H be a subgroup of G contained in V and h∈H. Let x=ϕ−1(h)∈V′. If x=0, there exists an integer n>0 such that x,2x,…,nx are in V', (n+1)x∈U′, (n+1)x∈/V′. Then h,h2,…,hn are in V,
hn+1∈U,hn+1∈/V,
which is absurd. Hence H = {e}.
Suppose that K is ultrametric. It suffices to prove the corollary when G is the Lie group associated with L. If g∈G, the powers of g evaluated in G are the elements of Zg evaluated in L. These are distinct if g=e. Hence G contains no finite subgroup distinct from {e}.
Corollary 2
Let k be a non-discrete closed subfield of K, G a Lie group over k and L = L(G). Suppose that L has a normable Lie K-algebra structure L', compatible with the normable Lie k-algebra structure and invariant under the adjoint representation of G. Then there exists on G one and only one Lie K-group structure compatible with the Lie k-group structure and for which the Lie algebra is L'.
There exists a Lie group germ G1 over K such that L(G1)=L′ (Theorem 2). By Corollary 1 to Theorem 1 of no. 1, G and G1, considered as Lie k-group germs, are locally isomorphic. Hence there exist an open neighbourhood G' of e in G and a Lie K-group germ structure on G', with Lie algebra L, which is compatible with the Lie group germ structure over k. Let V be a symmetric open neighbourhood of e in G such that V2⊂G′. Let g∈G. Then ϕ=Intg is a k-isomorphism of a sufficiently small open Lie subgroup germ of G' onto an open Lie subgroup germ of G'; and Te(ϕ) is K-linear and hence Tx(ϕ) is K-linear for x sufficiently close to e; therefore the restriction of Int g to a sufficiently small open neighbourhood of e in V is K-analytic (Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 5.14.6). By § 1, no. 9, Proposition 18, there exists on G an analytic K-manifold structure with which G is a Lie
K-group and V is an open sub-K-manifold of G. By translation, it is seen that the underlying k-manifold structure of G is the given structure. The Lie algebra of the Lie K-group G is the same as that of the open Lie K-subgroup germ V and hence is L'. Finally, the uniqueness stated in the corollary follows from § 3, no. 8, Proposition 32.
Theorem 3
Let G be a Lie group germ and h a Lie subalgebra of L(G) admitting a topological supplement. There exists a Lie subgroup germ H of G such that L(H)=h. If H1 and H2 are Lie subgroup germs of G such that
L(H1)=L(H2)=h,
then H1∩H2 is open in H1 and H2.
There exists a Lie group germ H′ with Lie algebra isomorphic to h (Theorem 2). Shrinking H′ if necessary, it can be assumed that there exists a morphism ϕ of H′ into G such that L(ϕ) is an isomorphism of L(H′) onto h (no. 1, Theorem 1). As h admits a topological supplement, ϕ is an immersion at e. Hence, shrinking H′ further, it can be assumed that ϕ is an isomorphism of the manifold H′ onto a submanifold of G. This proves the existence of H. The second assertion follows from the following proposition:
Proposition 1
Let G be a Lie group germ and H and H′ two Lie subgroup germs. In order that L(H)⊃L(H′), it is necessary and sufficient that H∩H′ be open in H′.
If H∩H′ is open in H′, then L(H′)=L(H∩H′)⊂L(H). Suppose that L(H)⊃L(H′). Let i, i′ be the canonical injections of H, H′ into G. By shrinking H′ if necessary, it can be assumed that there exists a morphism ψ of H′ into H such that L(ψ) is the canonical injection of L(H′) into L(H) (no. 1, Theorem 1). Then L(i∘ψ)=L(i′) and hence there exists a neighbourhood V of eH′ in H′ such that i∘ψ and i′ coincide on V (Theorem 1). Therefore V⊂H, hence V⊂H∩H′ and H∩H′ is open in H′ (§ 1, no. 10).
Proposition 2
Let G be a Lie group over K, k a non-discrete closed subfield of K and H a Lie subgroup of the Lie k-group G. Suppose that L(H) is a vector sub-K-space of L(G) which admits a topological supplement. Then H is a Lie subgroup of the Lie K-group G.
There exists a Lie subgroup germ H′ of the Lie K-group G such that L(H′)=L(H) (Theorem 3). Consider G, H, H′ as Lie k-group germs; Theorem 3 then proves that H∩H′ is open in H and H′. Hence there exists an open neighbourhood U of e in G such that U∩H is a submanifold of G over K. Therefore, H is a Lie subgroup of the Lie K-group G (§ 1, no. 3, Proposition 6).
3. Exponential mappings
Theorem 4
Let G be a Lie group germ, L its Lie algebra, V an open neighbourhood of 0 in L, φ an analytic mapping of V into G such that φ(0) = 0 and T_0(φ) = Id_L. The following conditions are equivalent: (i) For all b ∈ L, φ((λ + λ')b) = φ(λb)φ(λ'b) for |λ| and |λ'| sufficiently small. (ii) For all b ∈ L and every integer n > 0, φ_*(b^n) is homogeneous of degree n in U(G) (T_0^{(∞)}(L) is identified with TS(L) and b^n is evaluated in TS(L)). (iii) The mapping φ_* of TS(L) into U(G) is compatible with the graduations of TS(L) and U(G). (iv) The mapping φ_* of TS(L) into U(G) is the canonical mapping of TS(L) into the enveloping algebra of L. (v) There exist a norm on L defining the topology of L and such that
∥[x,y]∥≤∥x∥∥y∥ for all x, y in L and an open subgroup germ W ⊂ V of the Lie group germ defined by L (no. 2) such that φ|W is an isomorphism of W onto an open Lie subgroup germ of G.
(v) ⇒ (i): obvious, for (λb).(λ'b) = (λ + λ')b in W for |λ| and |λ'| sufficiently small. (i) ⇒ (ii): suppose that condition (i) is satisfied. Let b ∈ L. Let ψ be the restriction of φ to V ∩ Kb. By hypothesis, there exists a symmetric neighbourhood T of 0 in the additive Lie group Kb such that ψ|T is a morphism of the Lie group germ T into G. Hence
φ∗(bn)=(ψ∣T)∗(bn)=((ψ∣T)∗(b))n=(φ∗(b))n, so that φ_*(b^n) is homogeneous of degree n in U(G). (ii) ⇒ (iii): this follows from the fact that TS^n(L) is the vector subspace of TS(L) generated by the n-th powers of the elements of L (Algebra, Chapter IV, § 5, Proposition 5). (iii) ⇒ (iv): the canonical mapping of TS(L) into the enveloping algebra of L is the unique morphism of graded cogebras mapping 1 to 1 and extending Id_L (Chapter II, § 1, no. 5, Remark 3). Now φ_* is a cogebra morphism and φ_*|L = Id_L by hypothesis. If condition (iii) holds, it is seen that condition (iv) also holds. (iv) ⇒ (v): suppose that condition (iv) is satisfied. Choose a norm on L defining the topology of L and such that \|[x, y]\| \leq \|x\|\|y\| for all x, y in L. Let H be the Lie group germ defined by the normed Lie algebra L. By Theorem 1, there exist an open subgroup germ S ⊂ V of H and an isomorphism φ' of S onto an open subgroup germ of G. As we know already that (v) ⇒ (iv), the mapping φ_* of TS(L) into U(G) is the canonical mapping of TS(L) into the enveloping algebra of L. Thus φ_*(t) = φ'_*(t) for all t ∈ T_0^{(∞)}(L). As φ and φ' are analytic, φ and φ' coincide on a neighbourhood of 0.
Definition 1
Let G be a Lie group germ and L its Lie algebra. An exponential mapping of G is any analytic mapping ϕ defined on an open neighbourhood of 0 in L, with values in G and satisfying the conditions of Theorem 4.
Theorem 4 implies immediately that, for every Lie group germ G, there exists an exponential mapping of G and that two exponential mappings of G coincide on a neighbourhood of 0.
Example
(1) Let G be the additive group of a complete normable space E. The canonical isomorphism of L(G) onto E satisfies condition (i) of Theorem 4 and is therefore an exponential mapping of G.
(2) Let A be a complete normed unital associative algebra. Let A* be the Lie group consisting of the invertible elements of A. We identify L(A*) with A (§ 3, no. 9, Corollary to Proposition 33). If K = \mathbf{R} or \mathbf{C}, we know that the mapping exp of A into A* defined in Chapter II, § 7, no. 3 satisfies condition (i) of Theorem 4 and hence is an exponential mapping. Now let K be ultrametric. Let p be the characteristic of the residue field of K. If p=0, let λ=∣p∣1/(p−1); if p=0, let λ=1. Let U be the set of x∈A such that ∥x∥<λ. We know (Chapter II, § 8, no. 4) that the mapping exp of U into A* satisfies condition (i) of Theorem 4 and hence is an exponential mapping. Note that U is an additive subgroup of A.
This example explains the terminology adopted in Definition 1.
Let G be a Lie group germ and ϕ an exponential mapping of G. Then ϕ is étale at 0 and hence there exists an open neighbourhood U of 0 in L(G) such that ϕ(U) is open in G and ϕ∣U is an isomorphism of the analytic manifold U onto the analytic manifold ϕ(U).
A canonical chart (of the first species) on G is a chart ψ on the analytic manifold G whose inverse mapping is an exponential mapping. If further G is finite-dimensional and a basis of L(G) is chosen, the coordinate system defined by ψ and this basis in the domain of ψ is called a canonical coordinate system (of the first species).
Proposition 3
Let G be a Lie group germ, L its Lie algebra and ϕ an exponential mapping of G. Let L1,…,Ln be vector subspaces of L such that L is the topological direct sum of L1,…,Ln. The mapping
(b1,b2,…,bn)↦θ(b1,b2,…,bn)=ϕ(b1)ϕ(b2)⋯ϕ(bn),
defined on an open subset of L1×L2×⋯×Ln, is analytic. The tangent mapping at (0,0,…,0) to θ is the canonical mapping of L1×⋯×Ln into L.
Let ki be the canonical injection of Li into L1×L2×⋯×Ln. Then, for all b∈Li, (T(0,…,0)θ)(T0ki)(b)=(T0ϕ)(b)=b and hence (T(0,…,0)θ)∣Li is the canonical injection of Li into L.
In particular, θ is étale at (0,0,…,0). Its restriction to a sufficiently small
LIE GROUPS
open neighbourhood U of (0,0,…,0) has an open image in G and is an isomorphism of the manifold U onto the manifold θ(U). The inverse mapping η of θ(U) onto U is called a canonical chart of the second species of G, associated with the given decomposition of L as a direct sum. If further G is finite-dimensional and each Li is generated by a non-zero vector ei, the coordinate system on θ(U) defined by η and the ei is called a canonical coordinate system of the second species.
Proposition 4
Let G be a Lie group germ and ϕ an injective exponential mapping of G. For all x, y in L(G),
(1)
x+y=λ∈K∗,λ→0limλ−1ϕ−1(ϕ(λx)ϕ(λy)) (2)
[x,y]=λ∈K∗,λ→0limλ−2ϕ−1(ϕ(λx)ϕ(λy)ϕ(−λx)ϕ(−λy)) (note that
ϕ−1(ϕ(λx)ϕ(λy)) and
ϕ−1(ϕ(λx)ϕ(λy)ϕ(−λx)ϕ(−λy)) are defined for
∣λ∣ sufficiently small).
Let L=L(G) be given a norm defining the topology of L and such that ∥[x,y]∥≤∥x∥∥y∥ for all x,y in L. Using Theorems 2 and 4, it can be assumed that G is the Lie group germ defined by L and that ϕ=IdG. Let (x,y)↦x⋅y denote the product in the group G. The formulae to be proved can then be written (3)
x+y=λ∈K∗,λ→0limλ−1((λx)⋅(λy)) (4)
[x,y]=λ∈K∗,λ→0limλ−2((λx)⋅(λy)⋅(−λx)⋅(−λy)).
There exists an open neighbourhood V of 0 in K such that the function
λ↦f(λ)=(λx)⋅(λy) is defined and analytic on V. By Chapter II, § 6, no. 4,
Remark 2, the expansion of
f as an integral series about the origin is
λ(x+y)+21λ2[x,y]+⋯ and this proves (3). On the other hand, for
u,v in G and
∥u∥,∥v∥ sufficiently small,
u⋅v is an analytic function of
(u,v) and the terms of degrees 1 and 2 in the expansion of this function as an integral series about the origin are
u+v+21[u,v]. By
Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 3.2.7 and 4.2.3, the terms of degrees 1 and 2 in the expansion of the function
f(λ)⋅f(−λ) as an integral series about the origin are the terms of degrees 1 and 2 in
f(λ)+f(−λ)+21[f(λ),f(−λ)] or also in
λ(x+y)+21λ2[x,y]−λ(x+y)+21λ2[x,y]+21[λ(x+y),−λ(x+y)]=λ2[x,y] and this proves (4).
EXponential mappings
§ 4.3
Proposition 5
Let G be a Lie group, k a non-discrete closed subfield of K, G' the group G considered as a Lie group over k and ϕ (resp. ϕ′) an exponential mapping of G (resp. G'). Then ϕ and ϕ′ coincide on a neighbourhood of 0.
ϕ satisfies hypothesis (i) of Theorem 4 relative to G' and is therefore an exponential mapping of G'.
Proposition 6
Let G be a Lie group germ, L its Lie algebra and ϕ:V→G an exponential mapping of G. For all x∈V, let Tx(L) be identified with L, so that the right differential ϖ(x) of ϕ at x is a linear mapping of L into L. For x sufficiently close to 0,
ϖ(x)=n≥0∑(n+1)!1(adx)n.
Let L be given a norm compatible with its topology and such that ∥[x,y]∥≤∥x∥∥y∥ for all x,y∈L. It suffices to consider the case where G is the Lie group germ defined by L and ϕ=IdG. By definition, ϖ(x) is then the tangent mapping at x to the mapping y↦y.x−1 of G into G. If H(X,Y) denotes the Hausdorff series, ϖ(x) is therefore, for ∥x∥ sufficiently small, the tangent mapping at 0 to the mapping y↦H(x,+y,−x) of G into G. In H(X+Y,−X), the sum of terms of the first degree in Y is
m≥0∑(m+1)!1(adX)mY
(Chapter II, § 6, no. 5, Proposition 5). The proposition then follows from Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 3.2.4 and 4.2.3.
Let G be a Lie group germ and t∈K. A t-th power mapping of G is any mapping, defined and analytic on an open neighbourhood of e, with values in G and coinciding on a neighbourhood of e with a mapping
g↦ϕ(tϕ−1(g))
where ϕ is an injective exponential mapping of G.
Proposition 7
(i) *If t∈Z, a t-th power mapping coincides on a neighbourhood of e with the mapping g↦gt.
(ii) The tangent mapping at e to a t-th power mapping is the homothety of ratio t.
(iii) If h is a t-th power mapping and h' a t'-th power mapping of G, h∘h′ is a (tt')-th power mapping and g↦h(g)h′(g) is a (t + t')-th power mapping.
(iv) If h is a t-th power mapping and u∈Un(G), then h∗(u)=tnu.
It suffices to prove the proposition when G is the Lie group germ defined by a complete normed Lie algebra and when the t-th power mappings considered are constructed using the exponential mapping ϕ=IdG. But in that case everything is obvious.
4. Functorization of exponential mappings
Proposition 8
Let G and H be Lie group germs, h a morphism of G into H and ϕG and ϕH exponential mappings of G and H. There exists a neighbourhood V of 0 in L(G) such that h∘ϕG and ϕH∘L(h) coincide on V.
Let L(G) and L(H) be given norms defining their topologies and such that ∥[x,y]∥≤∥x∥∥y∥ for all x and y. It can be assumed that G (resp. H) is the Lie group germ defined by L(G) (resp. L(H)), so that ϕG (resp. ϕH) coincides with IdG (resp. IdH) in a neighbourhood of 0. On the other hand, there exists a symmetric open neighbourhood W of 0 in L(G) such that L(h) is a morphism of the Lie group germ W into H. By Theorem 1, L(h) coincides with h on a neighbourhood of 0, whence the proposition.
Loosely speaking, if G and H are identified in a neighbourhood of the identity element with L(G) and L(H) by means of exponential mappings, every morphism of G into H is linear in a neighbourhood of 0.
Corollary 1
Let G be a Lie group germ, G' a Lie subgroup germ of G and ϕ an exponential mapping of G.
(i) There exists an open neighbourhood V of 0 in L(G′) such that ϕ∣V is an isomorphism of the manifold V onto an open neighbourhood of e in G'.
(ii) Let x∈L(G). The following conditions are equivalent: (a) x∈L(G′); (b) ϕ(λx)∈G′ for ∣λ∣ sufficiently small.
(i) is obtained by applying Proposition 8 to the canonical injection of G' into G and (ii) follows from (i).
Corollary 2
Let G be a Lie group, ρ an analytic linear representation of G and ϕ an exponential mapping of G. There exists a neighbourhood V of 0 in L(G) such that
ρ(ϕ(x))=exp(L(ρ)x) for all
x∈V.
This follows from Proposition 8 and Example 2 of no. 3.
Corollary 3
Let G be a Lie group and ϕ an exponential mapping of G.
(i) There exists a neighbourhood V of 0 in L(G) such that
Ad(ϕ(x))=expad x. for all
x∈V.
(ii) If g∈G, there exists a neighbourhood W of 0 in L(G) such that
gϕ(x)g−1=(Ad g.x) for all
x∈W.
(i) follows from Corollary 2 and § 3, no. 12, Proposition 44. (ii) follows from Proposition 8 applied to Int g.
5. Structure induced on a subgroup
Lemma 4
Let G be a finite-dimensional Lie group, Ω a symmetric open neighbourhood of e in G and H a subset of Ω containing e such that the conditions x∈H,y∈H,xy−1∈Ω imply xy−1∈H. Let r∈NK. For all x∈H, let hx be the set of a∈Tx(G) with the following property: there exist an open neighbourhood I of 0 in K and a mapping f of class Cr of I into G such that f(0)=x,f(I)⊂H,(T0f)(1)=a.
(i) Let he=h. Then h is a Lie subalgebra of L(G) which is invariant under AdL(G)(H).
(ii) hx=xh=hx for all x∈H (where xh and hx are evaluated in T(G)).
(iii) Let V be a manifold of class Cr, v0 a point of V and f a mapping of class Cr of V into G such that f(v0)=e and f(V)⊂H. For every Lie subgroup germ H′ of G with Lie algebra h, f(v)∈H′ for v sufficiently close to v0.
(iv) For every Lie subgroup germ H′ of G with Lie algebra h, H′∩H is a neighbourhood of e in H′.
(v) For all x∈H and all a∈hx, there exist an open neighbourhood I of 0 in K and a mapping f of class Ca of I into G such that f(0)=x,f(I)⊂H,(T0f)(1)=a. Clearly Kh=h and xhyz=hxyz for x,y,xy,xyz in H. This implies (ii) and the fact that h is invariant under AdL(G)(H).
Let a1,a2 be in h. Let I be an open neighbourhood of 0 in K and f1,f2 mappings of class Cr of I into G such that fj(0)=e,fj(I)⊂H,(T0fj)(1)=aj (j=1,2). We define f:I→G by f(λ)=f1(λ)f2(λ). Then f is of class Cr and f(0)=e. By shrinking I if necessary, we have f(I)⊂H. On the other hand, the mapping of Te(G)×Te(G) into Te(G) tangent to the mapping (g,g′)→gg′ is addition; hence (T0f)=a1+a2. Hence a1+a2∈h and h is a vector subspace of L(G). Since xhx−1=h for all x∈H, (Adf1(λ)).a2∈h for all λ∈I. The tangent mapping at 0 to the mapping λ↦Adf1(λ) is, by Proposition 44 of § 3, no. 12, the mapping λ↦ad(a1λ); hence
[a1,a2]=(ada1).a2∈h
since h is closed in L(G). Hence we have proved (i). In the rest of the proof we fix a Lie subgroup germ H′ of G with Lie algebra h.
Let V, v0,f be as in (iii). Let Y be the left foliation of G associated with h (no. 1). For all y∈H′, Ty(H′)=yh. On the other hand, for all v∈V, the image of Tv(V) under Tv(f) is contained in hf(v)=f(v)h (by definition of hf(v)). By Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 9.3.2, f is a morphism of V into Y. As H′ is a leaf of Y (Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 9.2.8), f(v)∈H′ for v sufficiently close to v0.
Let (a1,…,as) be a basis of h. There exist an open neighbourhood I of 0 in K and mappings f1,…,fs of class Cr of I into G such that fj(0)=e,fj(I)⊂H,(Tfj)1=aj for all j. By (iii), fj(λ)∈H′ for ∣λ∣ sufficiently small. Hence the f1(λ1)f2(λ2)…fs(λs) constitute, for ∣λ1∣,∣λ2∣,…,∣λs∣ sufficiently small, a neighbourhood of e in H′; and this neighbourhood is contained in H. Hence (iv).
If a∈h, there exist an open neighbourhood I of 0 in K and a mapping f of class Cω of I into G such that f(0)=e,f(I)⊂H′,(T0f)1=a. This, with (iv), implies (v).
Definition 2
h is called the subalgebra tangent to H at e.
Proposition 9
Let G be a finite-dimensional Lie group and H a subgroup of G.
(i) There exists on H one and only one analytic manifold structure with the following property: for all r between 1 and ω, for every manifold V of class Cr and for every mapping f of V into H, f is of class Cr as a mapping of V into H if and only if f is of class Cr as a mapping of V into G.
(ii) With this structure, H is a Lie group, the canonical injection i of H into G is an immersion and L(i)(L(H)) is the Lie subalgebra tangent at e to H.
In (i) the uniqueness is obvious. We prove the existence. Let h be the Lie algebra tangent at e to H. Let H′ be a Lie subgroup germ of G with Lie algebra h. By replacing H′ by an open subgroup germ of H′, it can be assumed that H′⊂H (Lemma 4 (iv)). For all x∈H, xH′x−1 is a Lie subgroup germ of G with Lie algebra xhx−1=h. Hence H′∩(xH′x−1) is open in H′ (no. 2, Theorem 3) and the mapping y↦xyx−1 is an isomorphism of H′∩x−1H′x onto xH′x−1∩H′. Using Proposition 18 of § 1, no. 9, there exist an open Lie subgroup germ W of H′ and a Lie group structure on H with the following properties: W is open in H and the manifold structures on H and H′ induce the same structure on W. It then follows that the canonical injection i of H into G is an immersion and that L(i)(L(H))=L(H′)=h. Moreover, let V and f be as in (i). If f:V→H is of class Cr, i∘f:V→G is of class Cr. Suppose that i∘f:V→G is of class Cr; then we prove that f:V→H is of class Cr. By translation, it suffices to consider the case where there exists v0∈V such that f(v0)=e and to prove that f:V→H is of class Cr in an open neighbourhood of v0. Now, by Lemma 4 (iii), f(v)∈H′ for v sufficiently close to v0, whence our assertion. Thus we have proved (i) and (ii) has been obtained on the way.
Definition 3
The Lie group structure on H defined in Proposition 9 is called the structure induced on H by the Lie group structure on G.
If H is a Lie subgroup of G, its Lie group structure is induced by that on G (Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 5.8.5).
If G=R and H=Q, then h={0} and hence the structure induced on H is the discrete Lie group structure. Similarly if G=C (considered as a complex Lie group) and H=R.
6. Primitives of differential forms with values in a Lie algebra
Lemma 5
Let X be a manifold of class Cr, F and F′ vector bundles of class Cr with base space X and ϕ a morphism of F into F′. For all x∈X, let Sx be the set of
(a,ϕ(a))∈Fx⊕Fx′ for
a∈Fx. Then the union
S of the
Sx is a vector subbundle of
F⊕F′.
Let θ and θ′ be the mappings of F⊕F′ into itself defined as follows: if (u,v)∈Fx⊕Fx′, then
θ(u,v)=(u,v+ϕ(u)),θ′(u,v)=(u,v−ϕ(u)). By
Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 7.7.1,
θ and
θ′ are morphisms of
F⊕F′ into itself. Clearly
θ∘θ′=θ′∘θ=IdF⊕F′. Hence
θ and
θ′ are automorphisms of
F⊕F′. Therefore,
S=θ(F⊕{0}) is a vector subbundle of
F⊕F′.
Lemma 6
Let G be a Lie group germ, ω the canonical left differential form of G (§ 3, no. 18.9), M a manifold of class Cr (r≥2) and α a differential form of class Cr−1 and degree 1 on M with values in L(G).
(i) The elements of T(M×G) at which the differential form
θ=pr1∗α−pr2∗ω is zero constitute a vector subbundle
S of
T(M×G) of class
Cr−1.
(ii) For all (x,g)∈M×G, T(pr1)∣S(x,g) is an isomorphism of S(x,g) onto Tx(M).
(iii) If dα+[α]2=0 (cf. § 3, no. 14) the vector subbundle S is integrable.
If (x,g)∈M×G and (u,v)∈Tx(M)×Tg(G), then
θ(x,g)(u,v)=α(u)−g−1v. Hence the kernel of
θ(x,g) is the set
S(x,g) of
(u,gα(u)) for
u∈Tx(M), whence (ii). We consider
T(M×G) as the direct sum of two vector bundles
F and
F′ with
F(x,g)=Tx(M)×{0} and
F(x,g)′={0}×Tg(G) for all
(x,g)∈M×G. For
u∈Tx(M)×{0}, we write
ϕ(u)=(0,gα(u)). Using the left trivialization of
T(G), it is seen that
ϕ is a morphism of
F into
F′, whence (i) (Lemma 5). Finally, if
dα+[α]2=0, then
dθ=pr1∗(dα)−pr2∗(dω)=−21(pr1∗α∧pr1∗α−pr2∗ω∧pr2∗ω)=−21(pr1∗α−pr2∗ω)∧(pr1∗α+pr2∗ω)=−21θ∧(pr1∗α+pr2∗ω) and hence
S is integrable (
Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 9.3.6).
Theorem 5
Let G be a Lie group germ, M a manifold of class Cr (r≥2) and α a differential form of class Cr−1 and degree 1 on M with values in L(G), such that dα+[α]2=0. For all x∈M and all g∈G, there exists a mapping f, defined and of class Cr−1 on an open neighbourhood of x, with values in G, such that f(x)=g and f−1.df=α. Two mappings which satisfy these conditions coincide on a neighbourhood of x.
Let x∈M and g∈G. By Lemma 6 (whose notation we adopt) and Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 9.3.7, there exist an open neighbourhood U of x in M and a mapping m↦ϕ(m)=(m,f(m)) of class Cr−1 of U into M×G such that f(x)=g and ϕ∗(0)=0. Then
f−1.df=f∗(ω)(§3,no. 18.9)=(pr2∘ϕ)∗(ω)(for f=pr2∘ϕ)=ϕ∗(pr1∗α−θ)(Lemma 6)=ϕ∗(pr1∗α)(for ϕ∗(θ)=0)=α(for pr1∘ϕ=IdU).
Let f′ be a mapping of class Cr−1 of U into G such that f′(x)=g and f′−1df′=α. By § 3, 18.9, f′−1 is locally constant and hence f′=f in a neighbourhood of x.
Proposition 10
Let M be an analytic manifold, g a complete normable Lie algebra and α an analytic differential form of degree 1 on M, with values in g, with the following properties: (a) for all m∈M, αm is an isomorphism of Tm(M) onto g; (b) dα+[α]2=0.
Then, for all m0∈M, there exist an open neighbourhood M′ of m0 in M and a Lie group germ structure on M′, compatible with the manifold structure on M′, with identity element m0 and with the following properties: (i) αm0 is an isomorphism of L(M′) onto g; (ii) the differential form m↦αm0−1∘αm is the left canonical differential form of M′. If M1′ and M2′ are two such group germs, M1′ and M2′ have a common open subgroup germ.
There exists a Lie group germ G such that L(G)=g. Let m0∈M. By Theorem 5, there exist an open neighbourhood M′ of m0 in M and an analytic mapping f of M′ into G such that f(m0)=e and f−1.df=α. Then Tm0(f)=αm0 is an isomorphism of Tm0(M) onto g; hence, shrinking M′ and G, it can be assumed that f is an isomorphism of the manifold M′ onto the manifold G. We transport to M′ the Lie group germ structure on G by means of f−1. Then Tm0(f) becomes an isomorphism of L(M′) onto L(G)=g, whence (i). On the other hand, if ω denotes the left canonical differential form of G, then
αm0−1∘αm=(Tm0f)−1∘(f−1.df)(m)=(Tmf)−1∘ω(f(m))∘Tmf and hence
m↦αm0−1∘αm is the left canonical differential form of
M′.
Let M′′ be an open neighbourhood of m0, with a Lie group germ structure, with identity element m0 and with the analogous properties to properties (i) and (ii). Then αm0 is an isomorphism of L(M′) onto g and also of L(M′′) onto g and hence L(M′)=L(M′′). Therefore, shrinking M′ and M′′, it can be assumed that there exists an isomorphism ϕ of the group germ M′ onto the group germ M′′ (no. 1, Corollary 1 to Theorem 1). Then ϕ−1.dϕ is the canonical left differential of M′. On the other hand, let ψ be the canonical injection of the manifold M′∩M′′ into the Lie group germ M′′; clearly ψ−1.dψ is a restriction of the canonical left differential of M′′. Hence (ψ−1.dψ)(m)=αm0−1∘αm=(ϕ−1.dϕ)(m) for all m∈M′∩M′′. Therefore ϕ and ψ coincide on a neighbourhood of m0 (§ 3, 18.9). This proves the last assertion of the proposition.
Corollary
Let M be an analytic manifold of finite dimension n. Let ω1,…,ωn be analytic differential forms of degree 1 on M, with scalar values, which are linearly independent at each point of M and such that, for all k=1,…,n, dωk is a linear combination with constant coefficients of the ωi∧ωj. Then, for all m0∈M, there exists an open neighbourhood M′ of m0 in M and a Lie group germ structure on M′ compatible with the manifold structure on M′, with identity element m0 and such that ω1∣M′,…,ωn∣M′ form a basis of the space of left invariant differential forms on M′ of degree 1 with scalar values.
If M1′ and M2′ are two such group germs, M1′ and M2′ have a common open subgroup germ.
Let X1,…,Xn be the vector fields on M such that, at each point m of M, the (Xt)m constitute the basis of Tm(M) dual to ((ω1)m,…,(ωn)m). These fields are analytic. By hypothesis, there exist cijk∈K (1≤i,j,k≤n) such that cijk=−cjik and dωk=∑i<jcijkωi∧ωj. By Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 8.5.7, formula (11),
⟨[Xi,Xj],ωk⟩=−(dωk)(Xi,Xj)=−(r<s∑crskωr∧ωs)(Xi,Xj)=−cijk and hence
[Xi,Xj]=−∑kcijkXk. It then follows that the
−cijk are the constants of structure of a Lie algebra
g relative to a basis
(e1,…,en). For all
m∈M, let
αm be the linear mapping of
Tm(M) into
g which maps
(X1)m to
e1,…,(Xn)m to
en. Then
α is an analytic differential form on
M of degree 1 with values in
g and
αm is an isomorphism of
Tm(M) onto
g. On the other hand,
α=∑k=1nωkek and hence
dα=k=1∑n(dωk)ek=k=1∑n(i<j∑cijkωi∧ωj)ek and
[α]2=k=1∑n[ωkek]2+i<j∑(ωiei)∧(ωjej)(§3,formula (30))=i<j∑(ωi∧ωj)[ei,ej]=−k=1∑ni<j∑(cijkωi∧ωj)ek=−dα. It then suffices to apply Proposition 10.
7. Passage from laws of infinitesimal operation to laws of operation
Proposition 11
Let G1 and G2 be Lie group germs and X1 and X2 manifolds of class Cr (r≥2). For i=1,2, let ψi be a law chunk of left operation of class Cr of Gi on Xi and Di the associated law of infinitesimal operation. Let μ:G1→G2 be a morphism and ϕ:X1→X2 a mapping of class Cr. Suppose that, for all a∈L(G), the vector fields (D1)a and (D2)L(μ)a are ϕ-related (Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 8.2.6). Then there exists a neighbourhood Ω of {e}×X1 in G1×X1 such that ϕ(ψ1(g,x))=ψ2(μ(g),ϕ(x)) for all (g,x)∈Ω.
Let p1:G1×X2→G1,p2:G1×X2→X2 be the canonical projections. For all (g1,x2)∈G1×X2, let fg1,x2 be the mapping g1a↦(D2)L(μ)a(x2) of Tg1(G1)=g1L(G1) into Tx2(X2). The fg1,x2 define a morphism of p1∗T(G1) into p2∗T(X2).
Let x0∈X1. There exist an open neighbourhood G of e in G1 and an open neighbourhood X of x0 in X1 such that ψ1(g,x) and ψ2(μ(g),ϕ(x)) are defined for (g,x)∈G×X. We write, for (g,x)∈G×X,
α(g,x)=ϕ(ψ1(g,x))∈X2,β(g,x)=ψ2(μ(g),ϕ(x))∈X2. If
G and
X are sufficiently small, then, for all
(a,g,x)∈L(G1)×G×X,
(Tα)(ag,0x)(Tβ)(ag,0x)=(Tϕ)((D1)a(ψ1(g,x)))=(D2)L(μ)a(ϕ(ψ1(g,x)))=(D2)L(μ)aα(g,x),=(Tψ2)(L(μ)a.μ(g),ϕ(x))=(D2)L(μ)a(ψ2(μ(g),ϕ(x)))=(D2)L(μ)aβ(g,x).
Hence for x∈X, the morphisms g↦α(g,x) and g↦β(g,x) are integrals of f; as
β(e,x)=ϕ(x)=α(e,x) for all
x∈X, it follows from
Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 9.3.7, that
α and
β coincide on a neighbourhood of
(e,x0). Hence the proposition.
Corollary
Let G be a Lie group germ and X a manifold of class Cr. Consider two law chunks of left operation of class Cr of G on X. Suppose that, for all a∈L(G), the corresponding vector field Da on X is the same for both law chunks. Then these two law chunks coincide on a neighbourhood of {e}×X.
Theorem 6
Let G be a Lie group germ, X a manifold of class Cr (r≥2) and x0 a point of X. Let a↦Da be a law of left infinitesimal operation of class Cr−1 of L(G) on X.
(i) There exists an open neighbourhood X′ of x0 in X and a law chunk of left operation of class Cr−1 of G on X′ such that the associated law of infinitesimal operation is a↦Da∣X′.
(ii) Let there be two law chunks of left operation of class Cr−1 of G on an open neighbourhood X′′ of x0; if they admit a↦Da∣X′′ as associated law of infinitesimal operation, they coincide on a neighbourhood of (e,x0).
Assertion (ii) follows from the Corollary to Proposition 11. We prove (i). For all (g,x)∈G×X and all a∈L(G), we write
Qa(g,x)=(ag,Da(x))∈Tg(G)×Tx(X). Let
S(g,x) be the set of
Qa(g,x) for
a∈L(G). By Lemma 5 of no. 6, the
S(g,x) are the fibres of a vector subbundle S of
T(G)×T(X). Let
a,b be in
L(G); then
[Qa,Qb](g,x)=([Ra,Rb](g),[Da,Db](x))=(−R[a,b](g),−D[a,b](x))(§3,18.6)=Q−[a,b](g,x) and hence S is integrable (
Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 9.3.3, (iv)).
By Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 9.3.7, there exist an open neighbourhood G1 of e in G, an open neighbourhood X1 of x0 in X and a mapping (g,x)↦gx of class Cr−1 of G1×X1 into X such that ex=x for all x∈X1 and
(ag)x=Da(gx)for a∈L(G),g∈G1,x∈X1. In particular
ax=Da(x). Let
G2 be an open neighbourhood of e in
G1 and
X2 an open neighbourhood of
x0 in
X1 such that
gg′ is defined and belongs to
G1 for
g,g′ in
G2 and
gx is defined and belongs to
X1 for
(g,x)∈G2×X2. Consider the mappings
α1,α2 of
G2×(G2×X2) into
X defined by
α1(g,(h,x))=g(hx),α2(g,(h,x))=(gh)x. They are of class
Cr−1. Then
α1(e,(h,x))=hx=α2(e,(h,x)). On the other hand
T(α1)(ag,0(h,x))T(α2)(ag,0(h,x))=(ag)(hx)=Da(g(hx))by (6)=Da(α1(g,(h,x))),=(agh)x=Da((gh)x)by (6)=Da(α2(g,(h,x))). By
Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 9.3.7,
α1 and
α2 coincide on a neighbourhood of
(e,(e,x0)). Then (i) follows from (7) and Proposition 23 of § 1, no. 11.
Corollary 1
Let G be a Lie group germ and X a paracompact manifold of class Cr (r≥2). Let a↦Da be a law of left infinitesimal operation of class Cr−1 of L(G) on X.
(i) There exists a law chunk of left operation of class Cr−1 of G on X such that the associated law of infinitesimal operation is a↦Da.
(ii) Two laws of left operation of class Cr−1 of G on X which admit a↦Da as associated law of infinitesimal operation coincide on a neighbourhood of {e}×X.
Assertion (ii) follows from the Corollary to Proposition 11. By Theorem 6 (i), there exist an open covering (Xi)i∈I of X and, for all i∈I, a law chunk of left operation ψi of Class Cr−1 of G on Xi such that the associated law of infinitesimal operation is a↦Da∣Xi. As X is paracompact, the covering (Xi)i∈I can be assumed to be locally finite. For all (i,j)∈I×I and all x∈Xi∩Xj, ψi and ψj coincide on a neighbourhood of (e,x) (Corollary to Proposition 11). As X is normal, we can apply Proposition 24 of § 1, no. 11, which proves (i).
Corollary 2
Let X be a paracompact manifold of class Cr (r≥2) and ξ a vector field of class Cr−1 on X. There exists a law chunk of operation ψ of class Cr−1 of K on X such that for all x∈X, ξ(x) is the image under t↦(t,x) of the tangent vector 1 to K at 0. Two law chunks of operation with the above property coincide on a neighbourhood of {0}×X.
This is a special case of Corollary 1.
