Abstract

Let A be a locally convex, unital topological algebra whose group of units A × is open and such that inversion ι : A × A × is continuous. Then inversion is analytic, and thus A × is an analytic Lie group. We show that if A is sequentially complete (or, more generally, Mackey complete), then A × has a locally diffeomorphic exponential function and multiplication is given locally by the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff series. In contrast, for suitable non-Mackey complete A, the unit group A × is an analytic Lie group without a globally defined exponential function. We also discuss generalizations in the setting of “convenient differential calculus”, and describe various examples.

AB - Let A be a locally convex, unital topological algebra whose group of units $A^{×}$ is open and such that inversion $ι : A^{×}→ A^{×}$ is continuous. Then inversion is analytic, and thus $A^{×}$ is an analytic Lie group. We show that if A is sequentially complete (or, more generally, Mackey complete), then $A^{×}$ has a locally diffeomorphic exponential function and multiplication is given locally by the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff series. In contrast, for suitable non-Mackey complete A, the unit group $A^{×}$ is an analytic Lie group without a globally defined exponential function.
