Banach–Lie group

Builds on Banach manifoldGroupBanach space

Definition

A Banach–Lie group is a group GG with the structure of a smooth Banach manifold such that:

  1. The multiplication G×G→GG \times G \to G, (g,h)↦gh(g, h) \mapsto g h, is smooth.
  2. The inversion G→GG \to G, g↦g−1g \mapsto g^{-1}, is smooth.

Remarks

Example: let EE be a real Banach space and ℒ(E)\mathcal{L}(E) the Banach space of bounded linear operators with the operator norm. The group GL(E)GL(E) of invertible operators is an open subset of ℒ(E)\mathcal{L}(E), so it is a Banach manifold with one chart. Multiplication is the restriction of a continuous bilinear map, hence smooth, and inversion is smooth because near AA it is given by the convergent series (A−X)−1=∑k≥0(A−1X)kA−1(A - X)^{-1} = \sum_{k \ge 0} (A^{-1} X)^k A^{-1}.

Non-example: on ℝ\R with its standard smooth structure, define x∗y=(x1/3+y1/3)3x * y = (x^{1/3} + y^{1/3})^3. This is a group, isomorphic to (ℝ,+)(\R, +) through x↦x1/3x \mapsto x^{1/3}, but the partial derivative of x∗yx * y in xx at the point (0,1)(0, 1) does not exist, so clause 1 fails.

The tangent space at the identity carries a Lie bracket and is a Banach–Lie algebra. Every finite-dimensional Lie group is a Banach–Lie group.
