1.4.2. The group of formal flows

Оглавление

The following is taken from the paper by Agrachev and Gamkrelidze (1981). Suppose that A is a left pre-Lie algebra endowed with a compatible decreasing filtration, namely, A = A1A2A3 ⊃ …, such that the intersection of the Aj’s reduces to {0}, and such that ApAqAp+q. Suppose, moreover, that A is complete with respect to this filtration. The Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula:

[1.44]

then endows A with a structure of a pro-unipotent group. An example of this situation is given by A = hB[[h]], where B is any pre-Lie algebra, and Aj = hjB[[h]]. This group admits a more transparent presentation as follows: introduce a fictitious unit 1, such that 1a = a1 = a for any aA, and define W : AA by:

[1.45]

The application W is clearly a bijection. The inverse, denoted by Ω, also appears under the name “pre-Lie Magnus expansion” in Ebrahimi-Fard and Manchon (2009b). It verifies the equation:

[1.46]

where the Bis are the Bernoulli numbers. The first few terms are:

[1.47]

By transferring the BCH product by means of the map W, namely:

[1.48]

we have W(a) # W(b) = W(C(a, b)) = eLa e Lb 11, hence W(a)#W(b) = W(a) + eLa W(b). The product # is thus given by the simple formula:

[1.49]

The inverse is given by a#–1 = W(–Ω(a)) = e–LΩ(a) 11. If (A, ⊳) and (B, ⊳) are two such pre-Lie algebras and ψ : AB is a filtration-preserving pre-Lie algebra morphism, we should immediately check that for any a, bA we have:

[1.50]

In other words, the group of formal flows is a functor from the category of complete filtered pre-Lie algebras to the category of groups.

When the pre-Lie product ⊳ is associative, all of this simplifies to:

[1.51]

and
