| May 9, 2011 at 7:03 | comment | added | Theo Buehler | Concerning your last speculation: "Lie group" meant what Lie intended it to be, namely a local transformation group with Euclidean coordinate patches such that the action map is differentiable in these patches, as made precise by Hilbert in the statement of his fifth problem: ams.org/journals/bull/1902-08-10/home.html (p.451f). Van der Waerden assumes a global group structure and no space acted upon and refers to Schreier's paper springerlink.com/content/v76736204ql73587 for the foundations he doesn't make explicit in his article. | |
