The formal power series H~ is a convergent series (Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 4.1.1). If G is the ball {x∈g∣∥x∥<aθ}, the domain of absolute convergence of H~ (Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 4.1.3) contains G×G.
If u and v are two real numbers >0 such that u<aθ and v<aθ, then (Lemma 3)
∥H~r,s∥urvs≤aθ(ua−θ)r(va−θ)s and
∥Hr,s∥urvs tends to 0 when
r+s tends to infinity.
We denote by h:G×G→g the analytic function (Differentiable and Analytic Manifolds, R, 4.2.4) defined by H~, that is by the formula
h(x,y)=r,s≥0∑H~r,s(x,y)=r,s≥0∑Hr,s(x,y)for (x,y)∈G×G. This function is called the Hausdorff function of
g.
Let (x,y)∈G×G. Then
∥H~r,s(x,y)∥≤sup(∥x∥,∥y∥)∥h(x,y)∥≤sup(∥x∥,∥y∥).
(17) follows immediately from (16) and (16) is trivial for r=s=0; if r≥1, then
∥H~r,s(x,y)∥≤∥H~r,s∥∥x∥r∥y∥s ≤∥x∥(aθ∥x∥)r−1(aθ∥y∥)s ≤∥x∥; we argue similarly if
s≥1.
In particular, ∥h(x,y)∥<aθ for (x,y)∈G×G.
Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
