The adjoint action on left-invariant derivations #
The tangent adjoint action is transported across the canonical Lie equivalence between the tangent
space at the identity and left-invariant derivations. The result is the roadmap-facing group adjoint
Ad on Mathlib's Lie algebra LeftInvariantDerivation I G.
The canonical derivation–tangent equivalence uses Hausdorffness to identify point derivations with
tangent vectors through global smooth functions. This imposes no extra public hypothesis on Ad
or its group laws: a charted space over the normed model is T1, and a T1 topological group is
Hausdorff. No boundaryless manifold assumption is needed, because a Lie group's identity is
automatically an interior point.
