Exponentiation of Lie Algebras of Linear Operators on Locally Convex Spaces

Abstract: Necessary and sufficient conditions for the exponentiation of finite-dimensional real Lie algebras of linear operators on complete Hausdorff locally convex spaces are obtained, focused on the equicontinuous case - in particular, necessary conditions for exponentiation to compact Lie groups are established. Applications to complete locally convex algebras, with special attention to locally C$^*$-algebras, are given. The definition of a projective analytic vector is introduced, playing an important role in some of the exponentiation theorems.
