Jul 20, 2015 at 5:27 comment added Duchamp Gérard H. E. @grghxy OK, ${\rm{Lie}}(A)\cap {\rm{Lie}}(B)={\rm{Lie}}(A\cap B)$ is not hard to prove using one-parameter subgroups. I have a look to your answer later.
Jul 20, 2015 at 3:17 comment added grghxy The property ${\rm{Lie}}(A)\cap{\rm{Lie}}(B)=0$ when $A\cap B=1$ is valid without hypotheses on $AB$ inside $G$. More generally, ${\rm{Lie}}(A)\cap {\rm{Lie}}(B)={\rm{Lie}}(A\cap B)$ for any two closed subgroups $A$ and $B$ of a Lie group $G$. (I haven't seen this in a textbook in that generality, but perhaps it is in a standard reference? It is not hard to prove, but requires some care since (i) $A \cap B$ might not be connected and (ii) when ${\rm{Lie}}(A)\cap{\rm{Lie}}(B)$ is exponentiated to a connected Lie subgroup $H$ of $G$ we don't know a-priori that $H$ has the subspace topology.)
