The exponential map of a commutative Lie group #

For a commutative finite-dimensional real Lie group G the exponential map lieExp : 𝔀 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 𝔀.

The exponential of a commutative G is moreover an open map, so for a preconnected G it identifies G with the quotient of 𝔀 by the kernel as topological groups. When G is compact the quotient of 𝔀 by the kernel is the identity component, hence compact, so the kernel spans 𝔀 and is a lattice of full rank: a compact connected commutative Lie group is the quotient of its Lie algebra by a lattice.

    The exponential homomorphism of a preconnected commutative Lie group is surjective.

    A preconnected commutative Lie group is the quotient of its Lie algebra by the kernel of the exponential, as topological groups: the first isomorphism theorem for the open surjective homomorphism lieExpAddMonoidHom.

    Instances For

      The Lie algebra modulo the kernel of the exponential is compact when the group is: it is the identity component, which is closed.
