Regular 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.

متن کاملEuler-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 کاملStructure Groups and Holonomy in Infinite Dimensions
We give a theorem of reduction of the structure group of a principal bundle P with regular structure group G. Then, when G is in the classes of regular Lie groups defined by T.Robart in [13], we define the closed holonomy group of a connection as the minimal closed Lie subgroup of G for which the previous theorem of reduction can be applied. We also prove an infinite dimensional version of the ...
متن کاملA Lie Group Structure on Strict Groups
The notion of strict groups encompasses many important infinite dimensional groups in differential geometry. It is shown that important strict groups carry the structure of a regular Lie group in the convenient setting. In the contact case this is related to the integrability of the Poisson algebra of a prequantizable Poisson manifold.
