... the fifth, was equivalent to a statement we are all familiar with: that the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. However, this postulate did not seem as obvious as the other four on Euclid’s list, so mathematicians attempted to deduce it from them: to show that a geometry obeying the first fo ...

... Then any element of the group can be written as g(a) where a = (a1 , · · · , an ) . Since the composition of two elements of G must be another element of G, we can write g(a)g(b) = g(φ(a, b)) where φ = (φ1 , · · · , φn ) are n functions of a and b. Then for a Lie group, the functions φ are smooth (r ...
