Lax Constraints in Semisimple Lie Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
Instead of studying Lax equations as such, a solution Z of a Lax equation is assumed to be given. Then Z is regarded as defining a constraint on a non-autonomous linear differential equation associated with the Lax equation. In generic cases, quadrature and sometimes algebraic formulae in terms of Z are then proved for solution x of the linear differential equation, and examples are given where these formulae lead to new results in higher-order variational problems for curves in general semisimple Lie groups G, extending results previously obtained by different methods for the case where G has dimension 3. The new construction is explored in detail for G=SU(m).

ACTION OF SEMISIMPLE ISOMERY GROUPS ON SOME RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS OF NONPOSITIVE CURVATURE
A manifold with a smooth action of a Lie group G is called G-manifold. In this paper we consider a complete Riemannian manifold M with the action of a closed and connected Lie subgroup G of the isometries. The dimension of the orbit space is called the cohomogeneity of the action. Manifolds having actions of cohomogeneity zero are called homogeneous. A classic theorem about Riemannian manifolds...
متن کاملSemisimple Algebraic Groups in Characteristic Zero
It is shown that the classification theorems for semisimple algebraic groups in characteristic zero can be derived quite simply and naturally from the corresponding theorems for Lie algebras by using a little of the theory of tensor categories. This article is extracted from Milne 2007. Introduction The classical approach to classifying the semisimple algebraic groups over C (see Borel 1975, §1...
متن کاملL Version of Hardy’s Theorem on Semisimple Lie Groups
We prove an analogue of the Lp version of Hardy’s theorem on semisimple Lie groups. The theorem says that on a semisimple Lie group, a function and its Fourier transform cannot decay very rapidly on an average.
متن کاملLie algebras and the classification of semisimple algebraic groups
The Lie algebra of an algebraic group is the (first) linear approximation to the group. The study of Lie algebras is much more elementary than that of algebraic groups. For example, most of the results on Lie algebras that we shall need are proved already in the undergraduate text Erdmann and Wildon 2006. After many preliminaries, in 7 we describe the structure and classification of the semisi...
متن کاملClassification of Finite-dimensional Semisimple Lie Algebras
Every finite-dimensional Lie algebra is a semi-direct product of a solvable Lie algebra and a semisimple Lie algebra. Classifying the solvable Lie algebras is difficult, but the semisimple Lie algebras have a relatively easy classification. We discuss in some detail how the representation theory of the particular Lie algebra sl2 tightly controls the structure of general semisimple Lie algebras,...
