Infinite-dimensional Lie groups with a perspective to Mathematical Physics

For a first orientation on the topics of the lecture, interested students can have a look at the following literature:
  • Neeb, Karl-Hermann Monastir Lecture Notes on Infinite-Dimensional Lie Groups: Lecture notes for a summer school, aimed at giving an introduction into this topic. I will take major parts of the first part of the lecture from this text.
  • Kriegl, Andreas and Michor, Peter W. The Convenient Setting of Global Analysis: A huge compendium on various aspects of infinite-dimensional manifolds and Lie-groups in the convenient setting. In many interesting cases, this setting coincides with the setting that we will use, so we may discuss some (very few) topics from this monograph.

Literature

The following literature list is a bit more detailed. However, many textbooks only treat finite-dimensional Lie group and may thus only serve as an overview of various topics of classical Lie theory.

Comments

  • I was asked to provide a reference for the fact that the Diffeomorphism group of a compact manifold may not be modelled on a Banach space in a reasonable way. The precise statement is that if a Banach-Lie group acts smoothly, effectively and transitively on a finite-dimensional manifold, then it automatically is finite-dimensional. This has been proven by Omori in
