Lie group–Lie algebra correspondence

In mathematics, Lie group–Lie algebra correspondence allows one to correspond a Lie group to a Lie algebra or vice versa, and study the conditions for such a relationship. Lie groups that are isomorphic to each other have Lie algebras that are isomorphic to each other, but the converse is not necessarily true. One obvious counterexample is and (see real coordinate space and the circle group respectively) which are non-isomorphic to each other as Lie groups but their Lie algebras are isomorphic to each other. However, by restricting our attention to the simply connected Lie groups, the Lie group-Lie algebra correspondence will be one-to-one. 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. There are various ways one can understand the construction of the Lie algebra of a Lie group G. One approach uses left-invariant vector fields. A vector field X on G is said to be invariant under left translations if, for any g, h in G, where is defined by and is the differential of between tangent spaces. Let be the set of all left-translation-invariant vector fields on G. It is a real vector space. Moreover, it is closed under Lie bracket; i.e., is left-translation-invariant if X, Y are. Thus, is a Lie subalgebra of the Lie algebra of all vector fields on G and is called the Lie algebra of G. One can understand this more concretely by identifying the space of left-invariant vector fields with the tangent space at the identity, as follows: Given a left-invariant vector field, one can take its value at the identity, and given a tangent vector at the identity, one can extend it to a left-invariant vector field. This correspondence is one-to-one in both directions, so is bijective.

Lie group–Lie algebra correspondence

Simple Lie group

In mathematics, a simple Lie group is a connected non-abelian Lie group G which does not have nontrivial connected normal subgroups. The list of simple Lie groups can be used to read off the list of simple Lie algebras and Riemannian symmetric spaces. Together with the commutative Lie group of the real numbers, , and that of the unit-magnitude complex numbers, U(1) (the unit circle), simple Lie groups give the atomic "blocks" that make up all (finite-dimensional) connected Lie groups via the operation of group extension.

Représentation adjointe

En mathématiques, il existe deux notions de représentations adjointes : la représentation adjointe d'un groupe de Lie sur son algèbre de Lie, la représentation adjointe d'une algèbre de Lie sur elle-même. Alors que la première est une représentation de groupe, la seconde est une représentation d'algèbre. Soient : un groupe de Lie ; l'élément identité de ; l'algèbre de Lie de ; l'automorphisme intérieur de sur lui-même, donné par .
