For a solvable Lie group G the surjectivity of the exponential function expc is equivalent to the connectedness of the near-Cartan subgroups and to the connectedness of the centralizers in a Cartan subgroup of all nilpotent elements in its Lie algebra g. Furthermore, these conditions are satisfied i
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
In this paper we study surjectivity of the map g → 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)
The surjectivity of the exponential function of complex algebraic, in particular of complex semisimple Lie groups, and of complex splittable Lie groups is equivalent to the connectedness of the centralizers of the nilpotent elements in the Lie algebra. This implies that the only complex semisimple L
