Lifting differentiable curves from orbit spaces

Abstract: Let

h o : G i g h t a r r o w o p e r a t o r n a m e O (V)

be a real finite dimensional orthogonal representation of a compact Lie group, let

s i g m a = (s i g m a_{1}, l d o t s, s i g m a_{n}) : V o m a t h b b R^{n}

, where

s i g m a_{1}, l d o t s, s i g m a_{n}

form a minimal system of homogeneous generators of the

G

-invariant polynomials on

V

, and set

d = m a x_{i} o p e r a t o r n a m e d e g s i g m a_{i}

. We prove that for each

C^{d - 1, 1}

-curve

c

in

s i g m a (V) s u b s e t e q m a t h b b R^{n}

there exits a locally Lipschitz lift over

s i g m a

, i.e., a locally Lipschitz curve

o v e r l i n e c

in

V

so that

c = s i g m a c i r c o v e r l i n e c

, and we obtain explicit bounds for the Lipschitz constant of

o v e r l i n e c

in terms of

c

. Moreover, we show that each

C^{d}

-curve in

s i g m a (V)

admits a

C^{1}

-lift. For finite groups

G

we deduce a multivariable version and some further results.
