On the construction of simply connected solvable Lie groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let omegamathfrakg be a Lie algebra valued differential 1-form on a manifold M satisfying the structure equations domegamathfrakg+frac12omegamathfrakgwedgeomegamathfrakg=0 where mathfrakg is solvable. We show that the problem of finding a smooth map ho:MoG, where G is an n-dimensional solvable Lie group with Lie algebra mathfrakg and left invariant Maurer-Cartan form au, such that hoau=omegamathfrakg can be solved by quadratures and the matrix exponential. In the process we give a closed form formula for the vector fields in Lie's third theorem for solvable Lie algebras. A further application produces the multiplication map for a simply connected n-dimensional solvable Lie group using only the matrix exponential and n quadratures. Applications to finding first integrals for completely integrable Pfaffian systems with solvable symmetry algebras are also given.
