Infinite Dimensional Lie Groups

چکیده
Regular Lie groups are infinite dimensional Lie groups with the property that smooth curves in the Lie algebra integrate to smooth curves in the group in a smooth way (an ‘evolution operator’ exists). Up to now all known smooth Lie groups are regular. We show in this paper that regular Lie groups allow to push surprisingly far the geometry of principal bundles: parallel transport exists and flat connections integrate to horizontal foliations as in finite dimensions. As consequences we obtain that Lie algebra homomorphisms intergrate to Lie group homomorphisms, if the source group is simply connected and the image group is regular. Table of contents

Euler-Lagrange equations and geometric mechanics on Lie groups with potential
Abstract. Let G be a Banach Lie group modeled on the Banach space, possibly infinite dimensional, E. In this paper first we introduce Euler-Lagrange equations on the Lie group G with potential and right invariant metric. Euler-Lagrange equations are natural extensions of the geodesic equations on manifolds and Lie groups. In the second part, we study the geometry of the mechanical system of a r...
متن کاملDual pairs and infinite dimensional Lie algebras
We construct and study various dual pairs between finite dimensional classical Lie groups and infinite dimensional Lie algebras in some Fock representations. The infinite dimensional Lie algebras here can be either a completed infinite rank affine Lie algebra, the W1+∞ algebra or its certain Lie subalgebras. We give a formulation in the framework of vertex algebras. We also formulate several co...
متن کاملHilbert-schmidt Groups as Infinite-dimensional Lie Groups and Their Riemannian Geometry
We describe the exponential map from an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra to an infinite-dimensional group of operators on a Hilbert space. Notions of differential geometry are introduced for these groups. In particular, the Ricci curvature, which is understood as the limit of the Ricci curvature of finite-dimensional groups, is calculated. We show that for some of these groups the Ricci curvatu...
متن کاملDifferential Invariants for Lie Pseudo-groups
Lie pseudo-groups, roughly speaking, are the infinite-dimensional counterparts of local Lie groups of transformations. Pseudo-groups were first studied systematically at the end of the 19th century by Sophus Lie, whose great insight in the subject was to postulate the additional condition that pseudo-group transformations form the general solution to a system of partial differential equations, ...
متن کاملChern–weil Theory for Certain Infinite-dimensional Lie Groups
Chern–Weil and Chern–Simons theory extend to certain infinite-rank bundles that appear in mathematical physics. We discuss what is known of the invariant theory of the corresponding infinite-dimensional Lie groups. We use these techniques to detect cohomology classes for spaces of maps between manifolds and for diffeomorphism groups of manifolds.
متن کاملInfinite Dimensional Lie Groups with Applications to Mathematical Physics
INTRODUCTION: Lie Groups play an important role in physical systems both as phase spaces and as symmetry groups. Infinite dimensional Lie groups occur in the study of dynamical systems with an infinite number of degrees of freedom such as PDEs and in field theories. For such infinite dimensional dynamical systems diffeomorphism groups and various extensions and variations thereof, such as gauge...
