    The aim of the paper is to study Newton's method for solving the equation \(f(x)= 0\), with \(f\) being a map from a Lie group to its corresponding algebra. Under a classical Lipschitz's condition, the convergence criterion of Newton's method independent of affine connections is established and the radius of the convergence ball is obtained. It is shown that under classical assumptions on \(f\) the Newton method converges quadratically and, morerover, the radii of the uniqueness balls of zeros of \(f\) are established. Most part of the results obtained in this paper seems to be new. In particular, the convergence criterion of the semi-local behavior of Newton's method of affine connections is given on arbitrary Lie groups and a Kantorovich's criterion for Newton's method is proposed, not requiring the existence of a zero a priori.
