In mathematics, Lie group–Lie algebra correspondence allows one to study Lie groups, which are geometric objects, in terms of Lie algebras, which are linear objects. In this article, a Lie group refers to a real Lie group. For the complex and ''p''-adic cases, see complex Lie group and ''p''-adic Lie group. In this article, manifolds (in particular Lie groups) are assumed to be second countable; in particular, they have at most countably many connected components. == Basics == Given a Lie group ''G'', let be its associated Lie algebra—the Lie subalgebra of the Lie algebra of vector fields on ''G'' that consists of vector fields ''X'' that are invariant under left translations; that is, for any ''g'', ''h'' in ''G'', : where and is the differential of between tangent spaces.〔In other words, a vector field on ''G'' is left-invariant if it is -related to itself for any ''g'' in ''G''.〕 The left-invariance amounts to the fact that the vector bundle map over ''G'' : given by is an isomorphism (note φ makes a Lie group). It follows that the canonical map : is an isomorphism of vector spaces and one usually identifies with . (There is also a third incarnation of ; see "related constructions" below.) In particular, the dimension of ''G'' as a real manifold is the dimension of the vector space , and where is the connected component of the identity element. If : is a Lie group homomorphism, then its differential at the identity element : is a Lie algebra homomorphism (brackets go to brackets), which has the following properties: *.〔More generally, if ''H *If the image of ''f'' is closed,〔This requirement cannot be omitted; see also http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/329753/image-of-homomorphism-of-lie-groups〕 then and the first isomorphism theorem holds: ''f'' induces the isomorphism of Lie groups: ::. *The product rule holds: if are Lie group homomorphisms, then *The chain rule holds: if and are Lie group homomorphisms, then *The differential of the (multiplicative) inverse is the additive inverse: In particular, if ''H'' is a Lie subgroup (i.e., a closed subgroup) of a Lie group ''G'', then is a Lie subalgebra of . Also, if ''f'' is injective, then ''f'' is an immersion and so ''G'' is said to be an immersed (Lie) subgroup of ''H''. For example, is an immersed subgroup of ''H''. If ''f'' is surjective, then ''f'' is a submersion and if, in addition, ''G'' is compact, then ''f'' is a principal bundle with the structure group its kernel. (Ehresmann's lemma) Let be a direct product of Lie groups and projections. Then the differentials give the canonical identification: :. If are Lie subgroups of a Lie group, then Let ''G'' be a connected Lie group. If ''H'' is a Lie group, then any Lie group homomorphism is uniquely determined by its differential . Precisely, there is the exponential map (and one for ''H'') such that and, since ''G'' is connected, this determines ''f'' uniquely.〔In general, if ''U'' is a neighborhood of the identity element in a connected topological group ''G'', then coincides with ''G'', since the former is an open (hence closed) subgroup. Now, defines a local homeomorphism from a neighborhood of the zero vector to the neighborhood of the identity element.〕 For example, if ''G'' is the Lie group of invertible real square matrices of size ''n'' (general linear group), then is the Lie algebra of real square matrices of size ''n'' and . The next criterion is frequently used to compute the Lie algebra of a given Lie group. Let ''G'' be a Lie group and ''H'' an immersed subgroup. Then : For example, one can use the criterion to establish the correspondence for classical compact groups (cf. the table in "compact Lie groups" below.) defines a functor from the category of Lie groups to the category of finite-dimensional real Lie algebras. Lie's third theorem states that defines an equivalence from the subcategory of simply connected Lie groups to the category of finite-dimensional real Lie algebras. Explicitly, the theorem contains the following two statements: *Every finite-dimensional real Lie algebra is the Lie algebra of some simply connected Lie group. *If is a Lie algebra homomorphism and if ''G'' is simply connected, then there exists a (unique) Lie group homomorphism such that . Of two, the first one is fundamental since the second follows from the first applied to the graph of a Lie algebra homomorphism. Perhaps, the most elegant proof of the theorem uses Ado's theorem, which says any finite-dimensional Lie algebra (over a field of any characteristic) is a Lie subalgebra of the Lie algebra of square matrices. The proof goes as follows: by Ado's theorem, we assume is a Lie subalgebra. Let ''G'' be the subgroup of generated by be a simply connected covering of ''G''; it is not hard to show that is a Lie group and that the covering map is a Lie group homomorphism. Since , this completes the proof. Example: Each element ''X'' in the Lie algebra gives rise to the Lie algebra homomorphism : By Lie's third theorem, as and exp for it is the identity, this homomorphism is the differential of the Lie group homomorphism for some immersed subgroup ''H'' of ''G''. This Lie group homomorphism, called the one-parameter subgroup generated by ''X'', is precisely the exponential map and ''H'' its image. The preceding can be summarized to saying that there is a canonical bijective correspondence between and the set of one-parameter subgroups of ''G''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lie group–Lie algebra correspondence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
