Geometry of infinite dimensional Cartan Developments
Abstract
The Cartan development takes a Lie algebra valued 1-form satisfying the Maurer-Cartan equation on a simply connected manifold M to a smooth mapping from M into the Lie group. In this paper this is generalized to infinite dimensional M for infinite dimensional regular Lie groups. The Cartan development is viewed as a generalization of the evolution map of a regular Lie group. The tangent mapping of a Cartan development is identified as another Cartan development.
