β¦ Synopsis
For any connected Lie group G, we introduce the notion of exponential radical Exp G that is the set of all strictly exponentially distorted elements of G. In case G is a connected simply-connected solvable Lie group, we prove that Exp G is a connected normal Lie subgroup in G and the exponential radical of the quotient group G/Exp(G) is trivial. Using this result, we show that the relative growth function of any subgroup in a polycyclic group is either polynomial or exponential.

In this paper we study surjectivity of the map g β g n on an arbitrary connected solvable Lie group and describe certain necessary and sufficient conditions for surjectivity to hold. The results are applied also to study the exponential maps of the Lie groups.  2002 Elsevier Science (USA)
dedicated to professor takeshi hirai on his 60th birthday Let S be a connected and simply connected unimodular solvable Lie group and K a connected compact Lie group acting on S as automorphisms. We call the pair (K ; S) a Gelfand pair if the Banach V-algebra L 1 K (S) of all K-invariant integrable
In 1892, F. Engel and E. Study investigated the exponential map of classical Lie groups for the first time. They showed that the special projective Lie groups over C possess surjective exponential functions. Engel also gave a "proof" for the corresponding claims for the other projective classical gr
