For a riemannian structure on a semidirect product of Lie groups, the variational problems can be reduced using the group symmetry. Choosing the Levi-Civita connection of a positive definite metric tensor, instead of any of the canonical connections for the Lie group, simplifies the reduction of the variations but complicates the expression for the Lie algebra valued covariant derivatives. The origin of the discrepancy is in the semidirect product structure, which implies that the riemannian...

In the present paper, we consider the class of control systems which are induced by the action of a semi-simple Lie group on a manifold, and we give a sufficient condition which insures that such a system can be steered from any initial state to any final state by an admissible control. The class of systems considered contains, in particular, essentially all the bilinear systems. Our condition is semi-algebraic but unlike the celebrated Kalman criterion for linear systems, it is not...

With an intrinsic approach on semi-simple Lie groups we find a Furstenberg–Khasminskii type formula for the limit of the diagonal component in the Iwasawa decomposition. It is an integral formula with respect to the invariant measure in the maximal flag manifold of the group (i.e. the Furstenberg boundary ). Its integrand involves the Borel type Riemannian metric in the flag manifolds. When applied to linear stochastic systems which generate a semi-simple group the formula provides...
