On prealgebraic groups (Q2266772): Difference between revisions

A prealgebraic group is a subgroup of a real linear algebraic group of finite index. A (real) analytic group G is said to be prealgebraically representable if G admits a faithful finite-dimensional continuous representation \(\rho\) such that \(\rho\) (G) is prealgebraic. Prealgebraically representable groups are characterized in this paper. It is also shown that the isomorphism classes of real algebraic Lie algebras are in bijective correspondence with the isomorphism classes of prealgebraically representable analytic groups with simply connected centers.
