<p>Is there analog of Lie algebra for the case of topological groups which are not necessarily differentiable manifolds, and in particular for finite groups? here by "analog" i mean that it should have similar kind of relations to given group as of a finite dimensional Lie algebra with its corresponding Lie group. for example there should be some analog of "Exponential map"; Every linear representation of group should also be a linear representation of its algebra, and this should be in some sense compatible with the exponential map between the two; etc</p> <p>thanks,</p>

<p>Hi, Is it true that covariant derivative on any vector bundle over a manifold X comes from some connection on the bundle of linear frames of that vector bundle? This statement is true for the case of tangent bundle, but I am not sure if it is true in general or not. If it is true then can someone please suggest some reference for its proof.</p>

Thanks a lot :)

Misha can you please tell some reference(s) regarding your second argument (general one).

Notation used here is somewhat confusing. You can rather understand it like this : Take two copies of su(2) algebra. Denote their generators as $A_1,A_2,A_3$ and $B_1,B_2,B_3$ respectively, which thus satisfy relations : $[A_i,A_j]=i\epsilon_{ijk} A_k$ (sum over k), and similarly for $B_i$'s. Now let $V$ be a representation space for the first copy of su(2), and $W$ be a representation space for the second copy of su(2). Form the tensor product $V\otimes W$, and define action of lorentz algebra on it as : $J_i=A_i\otimes I+I\otimes B_i$, and $K_i=i(A_i\otimes I-I\otimes B_i)$.

@ Qiaochu Yuan. Anything like a Lie group :-)

Can you please suggest some reference(s) where this projective limit relation between almost connected, locally compact groups and Lie groups has been explained/studied/used.
