Lecture 18 - Reconstruction of a Lie Group from its Algebra (Schuller's Geometric Anatomy of Theoretical Physics)

Video Lecture:



Summary of contents: integral curves to a vector field; maximal integral curves; complete vector fields; every vector field on a compact manifold is complete; exponential map; the image of exp is the connected component of the Lie group containing the identity; examples: orthogonal group, special orthogonal group; (restricted) Lorentz group: proper/improper orthochronous/non-orthochronous transformations; Lorentz algebra; one-parameter subgroups; flow of a vector field; the exponential map commutes with smooth maps.
