Differentiability of the evolution map and Mackey continuity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We solve the differentiability problem for the evolution map in Milnor's infinite dimensional setting. We first show that the evolution map of each Ck-semiregular Lie group G (for kinmathbbNsqcupmathrmlip,infty) admits a particular kind of sequentially continuity − called Mackey k-continuity. We then prove that this continuity property is strong enough to ensure differentiability of the evolution map. In particular, this drops any continuity presumptions made in this context so far. Remarkably, Mackey k-continuity arises directly from the regularity problem itself, which makes it particular among the continuity conditions traditionally considered. As an application of the introduced notions, we discuss the strong Trotter property in the sequentially-, and the Mackey continuous context. We furthermore conclude that if the Lie algebra of G is a Fr'{e}chet space, then G is Ck-semiregular (for kinmathbbNsqcupinfty) if and only if G is Ck-regular.


Let \(G\) be an infinite-dimensional Lie group that is modeled over a Hausdorff locally convex vector space \(E\) and \(\mathfrak{g}\) the Lie algebra of \(G\). The paper under review shows that, in the case \(G\) is \(C^0\)-semiregular, the evolution map for \(G\) is differentiable if and only if \(\mathfrak{g}\) integral complete. Furthermore, if \(G\) is \(C^k\)-semiregular, for some \(k\), then it is shown that the \(k\)-th evolution map is differentiable if and only if \(\mathfrak{g}\) is Mackey complete. The derivative of the (\(k\)-th) evolution map is given fairly explicitly. As an application, the strong Trotter property in the sequentially and the Mackey continuous context is discussed. In case \(\mathfrak{g}\) is a Fréchet space, it is shown that \(G\) is \(C^k\)-semiregular if and only if \(G\) is \(C^k\)-regular.
