The Lie derivative of endomorphism fields on normed spaces #
The Lie derivative of an endomorphism field A : E β E βL[π] E along a vector field V : E β E
on a normed space E is
L_V A (x) = DA(x)(V x) + A(x) β DV(x) - DV(x) β A(x).
As with TauCeti.lieDerivForm, the definition needs no flow and is total, with junk values where
A or V is not differentiable, and TauCeti.lieDerivEndomorphismWithin localizes all
derivatives to a set s.
Four properties organize the calculus of L_V A:
- Bracket formula (
lieDerivEndomorphism_apply_vectorField): on a differentiable vector fieldW,(L_V A)(W) = [V, A W] - A [V, W], where[V, W] = DW Β· V - DV Β· Wis Mathlib'sVectorField.lieBracket. - Derivation rule on composition (
lieDerivEndomorphism_comp):L_V (A β B) = (L_V A) β B + A β (L_V B). In particular, ifAΒ² = -1nearx, thenL_V Aanticommutes withA(x)(lieDerivEndomorphism_comp_add_comp_eq_zero). - Commutator identity and source-bracket sign comparison (
lieDerivEndomorphism_lieBracketandlieDerivEndomorphism_fderiv_sub_fderiv): forCΒ²fieldsU,V,A, Mathlib's Lie bracket satisfiesL_{[U, V]} A = L_U (L_V A) - L_V (L_U A), whereas the opposite bracket[U, V]_RS = DU Β· V - DV Β· U = -[U, V]used by RobbinβSalamon satisfiesL_{[U, V]_RS} A = L_V (L_U A) - L_U (L_V A). - NijenhuisβLie-derivative identity (
lieDerivEndomorphism_apply_sub_apply): whenA(x)Β² = -1, the derivativeDX(x)cancels from(L_{A X} A)(w) - A(L_X A)(w), leaving the pointwise Nijenhuis expression ofAevaluated on(X x, w).

Algebraic properties and locality #
The Lie derivative of a constant endomorphism field Aβ is the commutator [Aβ, DV].
The Lie derivative of a constant endomorphism field Aβ is the commutator [Aβ, DV].
If V and A are C^n at x with m + 1 β€ n, then lieDerivEndomorphism V A is C^m at
x.
Bracket formula and composition derivation rule #
Bracket formula for lieDerivEndomorphismWithin: evaluated on a vector field W,
(L_V A)(W) = [V, A W] - A [V, W].
Bracket formula for lieDerivEndomorphism: evaluated on a vector field W,
(L_V A)(W) = [V, A W] - A [V, W].
Specializing lieDerivEndomorphism_apply_vectorField to a constant vector field expresses
(L_V A)(x) w purely in terms of vector-field brackets.
Derivation rule on composition within a set:
L_V (A β B) = (L_V A) β B + A β (L_V B). No differentiability of V is required.
Derivation rule on composition: L_V (A β B) = (L_V A) β B + A β (L_V B).
If AΒ² = -1 on a neighborhood of x and A is differentiable at x, then L_V A (x)
anticommutes with A x.
Commutator identity and source-bracket sign comparison #
Commutator identity for Mathlib's Lie bracket [U, V] = DV Β· U - DU Β· V:
for CΒ² vector fields U, V and endomorphism field A at x,
L_{[U, V]} A = L_U (L_V A) - L_V (L_U A).
Source-bracket commutator identity: for the opposite bracket
[U, V]_RS(y) = DU(y)(V y) - DV(y)(U y) = -lieBracket π U V y used by RobbinβSalamon,
L_{[U, V]_RS} A = L_V (L_U A) - L_U (L_V A).
NijenhuisβLie-derivative identities #
NijenhuisβLie-derivative identity: if A x squares to -1, then for every differentiable
vector field X, the derivative DX(x) cancels out of (L_{A X} A)(x) w - A x ((L_X A)(x) w),
leaving the pointwise Nijenhuis expression of A on (X x, w).
Pointwise vector-field bracket formula for the Nijenhuis expression on a normed space: when
A x squares to -1, the derivatives of U and W cancel out of
[A U, A W] - [U, W] - A [A U, W] - A [U, A W].
