The exponential map of a commutative Lie group #
For a commutative finite-dimensional real Lie group G the exponential map lieExp : π€ β G is a
homomorphism from the additive group of the Lie algebra. Its image is the identity component of
G; when G is preconnected, lieExp is surjective. Its kernel is a discrete subgroup of π€.
The exponential of a commutative G is moreover an open map, so for a preconnected G it
identifies G with the quotient of π€ by the kernel as topological groups. When G is compact
the quotient of π€ by the kernel is the identity component, hence compact, so the kernel spans
π€ and is a lattice of full rank: a compact connected commutative Lie group is the quotient of
its Lie algebra by a lattice.
