Globality in semisimple Lie groups

Karl-Hermann Neeb (1990)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

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...

Integrating central extensions of Lie algebras via Lie 2-groups

Christoph Wockel, Chenchang Zhu (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

The purpose of this paper is to show how central extensions of (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie algebras integrate to central extensions of étale Lie 2-groups in the sense of [Get09, Hen08]. In finite dimensions, central extensions of Lie algebras integrate to central extensions of Lie groups, a fact which is due to the vanishing of π 2 for each finite-dimensional Lie group. This fact was used by Cartan (in a slightly other guise) to construct the simply connected Lie group associated...
