Abstract

Consider the real free Lie algebra \mathfrakfrn with generators ω1, …, ωn. Since it is positively graded, it has a completion \mathfrakfrn consisting of formal series. By the Campbell--Hausdorff formula, we have a corresponding Lie group Frn. It is the set exp(\mathfrakfrn) in the completed universal enveloping algebra of \mathfrakfrn. Also, the group Frn is a 'submanifold' in the algebra of formal associative noncommutative series in ω1, …, ωn, the 'submanifold' is determined by a certain system of quadratic equations. We consider a certain dense subgroup Frn^∞⊂ Frn with a stronger (Polish) topology and show that any homomorphism π from \mathfrakfrn to a real finite-dimensional Lie algebra \mathfrakg can be integrated in a unique way to a homomorphism Π from Frn^∞ to the corresponding simply connected Lie group G. If π is surjective, then Π also is surjective. Note that Pestov (1993) constructed a separable Banach--Lie group such that any separable Banach--Lie group is its quotient.
