Prolongations of Lie Algebra Representations

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, we present a study on the prolongations of representations of Lie algebras. We show that a tangent bundle of a given Lie algebra attains a Lie algebra structure. Then, we prove that this tangent bundle is algebraically isomorphic to the Lie algebra of a tangent bundle of a Lie group. Using these, we define prolongations of representations of Lie algebras. We show that if a Lie algebra representation corresponds to a Lie group representation, then prolongation of Lie algebra representation corresponds to the prolonged Lie group representation.
