Let G be a Lie group, ϕ:U→G an exponential mapping with the properties of Proposition 3, V a neighbourhood of 0 in U such that ZV⊂V and ψ:V→G a tangent mapping at 0 to ϕ such that ψ(nx)=ψ(x)n for all n∈V and all n∈Z. If p>0, then ψ=ϕ∣V. (Give L(G) a norm. Let x∈V. Then pnx tends to 0 as n tends to +∞, hence there exists αn>0 such that αn tends to 0 and ∥(ϕ−1∘ψ)(pnx)−pnx∥≤αn∥pnx∥. But ψ(pnx)=ψ(x)pn, whence ∥(ϕ−1∘ψ)(x)−x∥≤αn∥x∥.)
