Abstract

In the first section of this paper we give a characterization of those closed convex cones (wedges) W in the Lie algebra s l ( 2 , R ) n which are invariant under the maximal compact subgroup of the adjoint group and which are controllable in the associated simply connected Lie group S l ( 2 , R ) n ∼ , i.e., for which the subsemigroup S = ( exp W ) generated by the exponential image of W agrees with the whole group G (Theorem 13). In Section 2 we develop some algebraic tools concerning real root decompositions with respect to compactly embedded Cartan algebras and invariant cones in semisimple Lie algebras. In Section 3 these tools, combined with the results from Section 1, yield a characterization of those invariant cones in a semisimple Lie algebra L which are controllable in the associated simply connected Lie group G . If L is simple, we even get a characterization of those invariant wedges W ⊆ L which are global in G , i.e., for which there exists a closed subsemigroup S ⊆ G having W as its tangent wedge L ( S ) .

In Section 2 we develop some algebraic tools concerning real root decompositions with respect to compactly embedded Cartan algebras and invariant cones in semisimple Lie algebras. In Section 3 these tools, combined with the results from Section 1, yield a characterization of those invariant cones in a semisimple Lie algebra $L$ which are controllable in the associated simply connected Lie group $G$.
