Is every linear Lie group of bounded geometry?
$\newcommand\norm[1]{\lVert#1\rVert}$Given any point $p$ of a smooth Riemannian manifold $M$ there exists $r\in (0,\infty]$ such that the Riemannian exponential is a diffeomorphism in the geodesic ...

What is the exponential map from the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{C})\ltimes_\textrm{ad}\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{C})$ to its Lie group?
$\DeclareMathOperator\ad{ad}\DeclareMathOperator\Ad{Ad}\DeclareMathOperator\Exp{Exp}\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}\DeclareMathOperator\sl{\mathfrak{sl}}$Let $G:=\SL(2, C) \ltimes_{\Ad} \SL(2,C)$, where $\...

Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula for exponential of general Hermitian operators
Let $A$ and $B$ be two anti-Hermitian operators on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space. BCH formula gives an explicit expression for $e^A e^B$ as $e^C=e^A e^B$, for $C$ in the Lie algebra generated by $...

Does restricting the eigenvalues of Hermitian matrices to the interval $[0,2\pi)$ make the exponential map to the unitary group bijective?
Let $U \in U(n)$ be a generic unitary matrix. Since the unitary group $U(n)$ is compact and connected, I know that the exponential map is surjective, i.e. that every $U \in U(n)$ has the form $U = e^{...

Bounding norms of symplectic matrix factorisations and non-separable Hamiltonian flows
Problem setup: Let $e^{hJM}$ be the time-$h$ flow corresponding to the ODE $\dot{x} = JMx$, with $M = \left(\begin{array}{cc}
A & C\\
C^T & B\\
\end{array}\right)$ ...

Kronecker product: Is it possible to simplify this product $e^{-A} \otimes e^{A}$ where $A$ is an invertible and symmetric matrix [closed]
Let $A$ be an invertible, symmetric and tridiagonal matrix of size $n \times n$. Assume that $A_{i,i}=a \neq 0$ for $i=1\dotsc n$ and all the elements in the sub- and super-diagonal of $A$ are $b \neq ...

Fiberwise exponential map for vector bundle automorphisms
Let $p:E \to B$ be a smooth vector bundle of rank $n$ over a manifold $B$ and we identify $B$ with the image of the corresponding zero section.
For $b\in B$ denote by $E_b = p^{-1}(b)$ the fiber over $...

Possible compatible ""structure" on the Lie algebra associated with a Lie group with respect to group structure
For simplicity, let us work on an example.
Regard $GL_r(\mathbb C)$ as a Lie group with associated Lie algebra $M_r(\mathbb C)$, then there exists a canonical so called exponential map:
$$\exp: M_r(\...
