A Lie Group Structure on Strict Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

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 کاملCurvature collineations on Lie algebroid structure
Considering prolongation of a Lie algebroid equipped with a spray, defining some classical tensors, we show that a Lie symmetry of a spray is a curvature collineation for these tensors.
متن کاملA model for the String group
The string group String(n) is the 3-connected cover of Spin(n). Given and compact simply connected group G, we will let StringG be its 3-connected cover. The group StringG is only defined up to homotopy, and various models have appeared in the literature. Stephan Stolz and Peter Teichner [7], [6] have a couple of models of StringG, one of which, inspired by Anthony Wassermann, is an extension o...
متن کاملAddendum to: "Infinite-dimensional versions of the primary, cyclic and Jordan decompositions", by M. Radjabalipour
In his paper mentioned in the title, which appears in the same issue of this journal, Mehdi Radjabalipour derives the cyclic decomposition of an algebraic linear transformation. A more general structure theory for linear transformations appears in Irving Kaplansky's lovely 1954 book on infinite abelian groups. We present a translation of Kaplansky's results for abelian groups into the terminolo...
متن کاملACTION 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...
