Complementary exponential-product charts #
For linear subspaces p and q of the Lie algebra of a finite-dimensional real Lie group, define
the ordered product
The definition, its smoothness, and its derivative formula hold for arbitrary p and q. When
they are complementary, the map is a local diffeomorphism at (0, 0), with derivative the addition
equivalence p × q ≃ Lie(G) transported through the canonical tangent-space coordinates.
This is the local product chart used to compare a subgroup with a linear complement of its infinitesimal directions. The result is stated for arbitrary complementary subspaces, independently of any subgroup.
