Extract

Dense immersions occur frequently in Lie group theory. Suppose that exp: g → G denotes the exponential function of a Lie group and a is a Lie subalgebra of g. Then there is a unique Lie group ALie with exponential function exp:a → ALie and an immersion f:ALie→G whose induced morphism L(j) on the Lie algebra level is the inclusion a → g and which has as image an analytic subgroup A of G. The group Ā is a connected Lie group in which A is normal and dense and the corestriction

is a dense immersion. Unless A is closed, in which case f' is an isomorphism of Lie groups, dim a = dim ALie is strictly smaller than dim h = dim H.
