The discussions up to Chapter 4 have been concerned with the Lie group. In this chapter, the Lie algebra is constructed by defining the operators ∇ and ∇̃.

In this paper we develop a theory for analysing the "radius" of the Lie algebra of a matrix Lie group, which is a measure of the size of its commutators. Complete details are given for the Lie algebra 𝔰𝔬(n) of skew symmetric matrices where we prove [Formula: see text], X, Y ∈ 𝔰𝔬(n), for the Frobenius norm. We indicate how these ideas might be extended to other matrix Lie algebras. We discuss why these ideas are of interest in applications such as geometric integration and optimal control.

A controllable drift-free system on the Lie group G=SO(3)×R3×R3 is considered. The dynamics and geometrical properties of the corresponding reduced Hamilton’s equations on g∗,·,·- are studied, where ·,·- is the minus Lie-Poisson structure on the dual space g∗ of the Lie algebra g=so(3)×R3×R3 of G. The numerical integration of this system is also discussed.

This chapter shows that certain classes of Harish-Chandra modules have in a natural way a structure over ℤ. The Lie group is replaced by a split reductive group scheme G/ℤ, its Lie algebra is denoted by 𝖌ℤ. On the group scheme G/ℤ there is a Cartan involution 𝚯 that acts by t ↦ t −1 on the split maximal torus. The fixed points of G/ℤ under 𝚯 is a flat group scheme 𝒦/ℤ. A Harish-Chandra module over ℤ is a ℤ-module 𝒱 that comes with an action of the Lie algebra 𝖌ℤ, an action of the group scheme 𝒦, and some compatibility conditions is required between these two actions. Finally, 𝒦-finiteness is also required, which is that 𝒱 is a union of finitely generated ℤ modules 𝒱I that are 𝒦-invariant. The definitions imitate the definition of a Harish-Chandra modules over ℝ or over ℂ.

The basic notion of the Berezin quantization on a manifold M is a correspondence which to an operator A from a class assigns the pair of functions F and F^♮ defined on M. These functions are called covariant and contravariant symbols of A. We are interested in homogeneous space M=G/H and classes of operators related to the representation theory. The most algebraic version of quantization — we call it the polynomial quantization — is obtained when operators belong to the algebra of operators corresponding in a representation T of G to elements X of the universal enveloping algebra Env g of the Lie algebra g of G. In this case symbols turn out to be polynomials on the Lie algebra g. In this paper we offer a new theme in the Berezin quantization on G/H: as an initial class of operators we take operators corresponding to elements of the group G itself in a representation T of this group. In the paper we consider two examples, here homogeneous spaces are para-Hermitian spaces of rank 1 and 2: a) G=SL(2;R), H — the subgroup of diagonal matrices, G/H — a hyperboloid of one sheet in R^3; b) G — the pseudoorthogonal group SO_0 (p; q), the subgroup H covers with finite multiplicity the group SO_0 (p-1,q -1)×SO_0 (1;1); the space G/H (a pseudo-Grassmann manifold) is an orbit in the Lie algebra g of the group G.

In (4) Malcev generalizes the notion of the Lie algebra of a Lie group to that of an anti-commutative "tangent algebra" of an analytic loop. In this paper we shall discuss these concepts briefly and modify them to the situation where the cancellation laws in the loop are replaced by a unique two-sided inverse. Thus we shall have a set H with a binary operation xy defined on it having the algebraic properties(1.1) H contains a two-sided identity element e;(1.2) for every x ∊ H, there exists a unique element x-1 ∊ H such that xx-1 = x-1x = e;

AbstractWe investigate questions of spectral symmetry for certain first order differential operators acting on sections of bundles over manifolds which have a group action. We show that if the manifold is in fact a group we have simple spectral symmetry for all homogeneous operators. Furthermore if the manifold is not necessarily a group but has a compact Lie group of rank 2 or greater acting on it by isometries with discrete isotropy groups, and let D be a split invariant elliptic first order differential operator, then D has equivariant spectral symmetry.
