1.4.2. The group of formal flows
ОглавлениеThe 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 = A1 ⊃ A2 ⊂ A3 ⊃ …, such that the intersection of the Aj’s reduces to {0}, and such that Ap ⊳ Aq ⊂ Ap+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 1 ⊳ a = a ⊳ 1 = a for any a ∈ A, and define W : A → A 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:
we have W(a) # W(b) = W(C(a, b)) = eLa e Lb 1 – 1, 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) 1 – 1. If (A, ⊳) and (B, ⊳) are two such pre-Lie algebras and ψ : A → B is a filtration-preserving pre-Lie algebra morphism, we should immediately check that for any a, b ∈ A 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:
