Formal integration of complete Rota-Baxter Lie algebras

Abstract

In this paper, first we revisit the formal integration of Lie algebras, which give rise to braces in some special cases. Then we establish the formal integration theory for complete Rota-Baxter Lie algebras, that is, we show that there is a Rota-Baxter group with the underlying group structure given by the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula, associated to any complete Rota-Baxter Lie algebra. In particular, we use the post-Lie Magnus expansion to give the explicit formula of the Rota-Baxter operator. Finally we show that one can obtain a graded Rota-Baxter Lie ring from a filtered Rota-Baxter group.
