Normalization of a nonlinear representation of a Lie algebra, regular on an abelian ideal 7 Mabrouk BEN AMMAR 1 0 January 17, 2017 2 n a J Abstract 6 1 We consider a nonlinear representation of a Lie algebra which is regular on an abelian ideal, we define a normal form which generalizes that defined in [2]. ] T R 1 Introduction . h t a The study of a vector fields in a neighborhood of a point on a complex manifold is, of m course, reduced to that of a vector fields T in a neighborhood of the origin of E =Cn. [ If T is regular at the origin of E, we know that there exists a coordinate system 1 (x1,...,xn) of E in which the vector fields can be expressed as v 7 ∂ T = , 7 ∂x 3 1 4 that is, there exists a local diffeomorphism φ of E such that 0 . 1 ∂ 0 φ(0) = 0 and φ⋆(T) = . ∂x 7 1 1 : If T is analytic then φ can be chosen to be analytic [9]. v If T is singular at the origin of E, then the situation is not so simple; generically, T is i X linearizable, that is, there exists a local diffeomorphism φ of E such that r a ∂ φ(0) = 0 and φ⋆(T) = a x , a ∈ C. jk j jk ∂x Xj,k k But, the linearization is not always possible, so, we introduce the notion of normal form of a vector fields. Such a normal form, by construction, must enjoy the following properties: (a) If T is any vector fields then there exists a local diffeomorphism φ of E such that φ(0) = 0 and φ⋆(T) is in normal form. (b) This normal form is unique, that is, if φ⋆(T) and φ⋆(T) are in normal form then 1 2 φ⋆(T) = φ⋆(T). 1 2 1 This problem has been studied extensively since Poincar´e in formal, analytical or Cinfty contexts. The normal form of T is then: T′ = S1+N wher S1 is semisimple and N is nilpotent satisfying [S1,N] = 0. Let us now consider the case, not of a single vector fields, but of a finite dimensional Lie algebra g of vector fields, or, if we prefer, not the case of a germ of local actions on E, but rather the case of germs of local actions of a Lie group G on E. Let us consider the formal or analytic setting. If all vectors fields are singular at 0, then we are in the presence of a nonlinear representation T of a Lie algebra g in the sense of Flato, Pinczon and Simon [5]: T :g −→ X (E), X 7−→ T such that [T ,T ] = T , 0 X X Y [X,Y] where X (E) is the space of vector fields which are singular at 0. In this case, we use 0 the structure of the Lie algebra g to precise the convenient normal forms. The notion of normal form given in [2] generalizes those known for the nilpotent and semisimple cases ([1], [3],[6],[7]). Let r be the solvable radical of g, we know that, by the Levi-Malcev decomposition theorem, g can be decomposed (D) g = r⊕s where s is semi-simple. The nonlinear representation T of the complex Lie algebra g is said to be normal with respect the Levi-Malcev decomposition (D) of g, if its restriction T| is linear and its restriction T| to r is in the following form s r T| = D1+N1+ Tk| , r r Xk≥2 wherethelinearpartD1+N1 ofT| issuchthatD1isdiagonalwithcoefficientsµ , ..., µ , r 1 n (the µ are elements of r∗) and N1 is strictly upper triangular. Moreover, Tk has the i following form in the coordinates x of E i n ∂ Tk = Λα(X)xα1···xαn , X ∈ r, X i 1 n ∂x Xi=1|αX|=k i where any coefficient Λα can benonzero only if it is resonant, that means, the correspond- i ing linear form µi ∈ r∗ defined by α n µi = α µ −µ , α r r i Xr=1 is a root of r, (eigenvalue of the adjoint representation of r). The representation T is said to be normalizable with respect (D) if it is equivalent to a normal one with respect (D). 2 Inthispaper,westudythesituation wheretheT arenotallinX (E).Moreprecisely, X 0 we introduce the notion of nonlinear representation (T,E) of g in E such that T = T0 + Tk ∈ X(E), X ∈ g, X X X Xk≥1 where X(E) is the space of formal vector fields on E (not necessarily vanishing at 0), in particular, T0 ∈ E. This situation seems to be more delicate in its generality, but here we X treat the case where the Lie algebra g can be written g = g +m, 0 where m is an abelian ideal of g and g is a subalgebra of g. The Lie algebras of groups 0 of symmetries of simple physical systems are often of this type (Galil´ee group, Poincar´e group, ...). Moreover, we assume that T0 = 0 if X ∈ g and T0 6= 0 if X ∈m\{0}. X 0 X We also assume that T is analytic and we will prove in this case that we can always put the representation T in the following normal form: there exists a coordinate system (x ,...,x ,y ,...,y ) of E such that: 1 p 1 q (a) For all X ∈ m, T can be expressed as X p ∂ T = a , X i ∂x Xi=1 i where a ∈m∗. i (b) T| is normal au sense de [2], moreover, for all X ∈ g and k ≥ 2, Tk has the g0 0 X following form p q ∂ ∂ Tk = Λα(X)yα1···yαq + Γα(X)yα1 ···yαq X i 1 q ∂x i 1 q ∂y Xi=1|αX|=k i Xi=1|αX|=k i 2 Notations and definitions Let E be a complex vector space with dimension n. The space of symmetric k-linear applications from E×···×E to E is identified with the space L(⊗kE,E) of linear maps s from ⊗kE to E, where ⊗kE is the space of symmetric k-tensors on E. Denote by L(E) s s the space L(E,E). Let (e ,...,e ) be a basis of E. For α ∈ Nn such that |α| = k and 1 n i ∈{1,...,n} we define ei ∈ L(⊗kE,E) by: α s eα◦σ (⊗β1e ···⊗βn e ) = δβ1 ···δβne , i k 1 n α1 αn i where δ is the Kronecker symbol, and σ is the symmetrization operator from ⊗kE to k ⊗kE defined by s 1 σ (v ,...,v ) = (v ,...,v ). k 1 k k! σ(1) σ(k) σX∈Sk 3 Obviously,(eα)isabasisofL(⊗kE,E).LetX(E)(respectively X (E))bethesetofformal i s 0 power series (or formal vector fields) ∞ ∞ T = Tk, (respectively T = Tk) Xk=1 Xk=0 where Tk ∈L(⊗kE,E) (with L(⊗0E,E) = E). Therefore, we can write s s n Tk = eα. i |αX|=kXi=1 Of course, any analytical vector fields X on E which is singular in 0 admits a Taylor expansion: n ∞ ∂ Λαxα1···xαn = Λαxα∂ . i 1 n ∂x i i Xi=1Xk=1|αX|=k i Xα,i It can be identified with the formal vector fields: n ∞ Λαeα. i i Xi=1Xk=1|αX|=k If |α| = 0 we agree that eα = e . i i Of course, X(E) can be endowed with a Lie algebra structure defined, for eα ∈ i L(⊗|α|E,E) and eβ ∈ L(⊗|β|E,E), by s j s [eα,eβ] = eα⋆eβ −eβ ⋆eα ∈L(⊗|α|+|β|−1E,E), i j i j j i s where eα⋆eβ = b eα+β−1i, 1 = (0,...,0,1,0,...,0),(1 in ith place). i j i j i Definition 2.1 A formal vector fields T in X(E) is said to be analytic al if the power series Tk(⊗kv)= T (v), v ∈ E, X Xk≥1 converges in a neighborhood of the origin of E. Definition 2.2 Two formal vector fields T and T′ are said to be equivalent if there exists an element φ= φk of X (E) such that φ1 is invertible and k≥1 0 P ψ⋆T = T′◦ψ where k T′◦φ= T′j ◦ φi1 ⊗···⊗ψij◦σk. Xk≥1Xj=1 i1+·X··+ij=k T and T′ are said to be analytically equivalent if φ is analytic. 4 Remark 2.3 For the composition law ◦, the map φ is invertible if and only if φ1 is an automorphism of E. Definition 2.4 Let g be a Lie algebra with finite dimension over C. A nonlinear (formal) representation (T,E) of g in E is a linear map: T : g → X(E), X 7→ T , X such that [T ,T ]= T , X, Y ∈ g. X Y [X,Y] Definition 2.5 We say that two representations (T,E) and (T′,E) are equivalent if there exists φ∈ X (E) such that φ is invertible and 0 1 φ⋆T = T′ ◦φ, X ∈ g. X X Definition 2.6 A nonlinear formal representation T of g is said to be analytic if the power series Tk(⊗ke) = T (v), v ∈E X X Xk≥1 converges in a neighborhood of 0 in E, for all X ∈ g. In the following, we consider a nonlinear analytic representation (T,E) of a complex finite dimensional Lie algebra g in E = Cn, such that g = g +m, 0 where m is an abelian ideal of g and g is a subalgebra of g. Moreover, we assume that 0 T0 = 0 if X ∈ g and T0 6= 0 if X ∈m\{0}, X 0 X and then we normalize T step by step. 3 Normalization of T| m Proposition 3.1 There exists a coordinate system (x ,...,x ,y ,...,y ), p+q = n, of 1 p 1 q E such that, for all X ∈ m, T can be expressed as X p ∂ T = a , X i ∂x Xi=1 i where a ∈ m∗. i Proof. Since the representation (T,E) is analytic, then, there exists a neighborhood U of the origin of E such that T (v) ∈ E, x for any v in U and X in g. So, for any v in U, we consider the subspace E spanned by v the vectors T (v), whereX browses m. If (X ,...,X ) is a basis of m, then the T (v) are X 1 p Xi 5 generators of E , thus, dimE ≤ p. But, the system (T (0),...,T (0)) is independent, v v X1 Xp indeed, the condition α T (0)+···+α T (0) = T0 = 0 1 X1 p Xp α1X1(0)+···+αpXp impliesthatα X (0)+···+α X = 0sinceT0doesnotvanishonm\{0}.Thus,dimE = p. 1 1 p p 0 The determinant map is a continuous map, then there exists a neighborhood V ⊂ U such that dimE ≥ p, for all v ∈ V. Therefore, dimE = p, for all v ∈ V. v v Thus, the map v 7→ E v is an involutive integrable distribution, therefore, the Frobinius theorem ensures the ex- istence of an analytic coordinate system (x ,...,x ,y ,...,y ) of E such that the ∂ , 1 p 1 q ∂xi i = 1,...,p, generate this distribution. (cid:3) 4 Normalization of T| g0 Now, we begin the second step to normalize the representation (T,E). We know that, for any X in g , we have 0 T = Tk. X X Xk≥1 We consider the coordinate system (x ,...,x ,y ,...,y ) of E defined in the previous 1 p 1 q section and we prove the following results Proposition 4.1 For any X in g , T1 has the following form 0 X ∂ ∂ ∂ T1 = a (X)y + b (X)y + c (X)x X ij j∂x ij j∂y ij j∂x Xi,j i Xi,j i Xi,j i and for k ≥ 2, Tk has the following form X ∂ ∂ Tk = Aα(X)yα + Bα(X)yα . X i ∂x i ∂y X i X i i,|α|=k i|α|=k Proof. Consider (X ,...,X ) ∈ mp such that 1 p ∂ T = . Xi ∂x i Since m is an ideal of m, then [m,g ] ⊂ m, and therefore, for any X in g and j = 1,...,p, 0 0 we have p ∂ ∂ ∂ T = ,T = ,T1 = α , [Xj,X] (cid:20)∂x X(cid:21) (cid:20)∂x X(cid:21) i∂x j j Xi=1 i for some α ∈C. In particular, for k ≥ 2, we have i ∂ ,Tk = 0, (cid:20)∂x X(cid:21) j 6 and then the result follows. (cid:3) Now, for any X in g , we define 0 A = Aα(X)yα ∂ = Ak , (A1j = a ), X i,α i ∂xi k≥1 X i ij P P B = Bα(X)yα ∂ + c (X)x ∂ = Bk , X i,α i ∂xi i,j ij j∂xi k≥1 X P P P H = b (X)y ∂ , X i,j ij j∂yi P K = c (X)x ∂ , X i,j ij j∂xi P and we consider the subspaces E and E corresponding, respectively, to coordinate sys- 1 2 tems (x ,...,x ) and (y ,...,y ). 1 p 1 q Proposition 4.2 i) (H,E ) and (K,E ) are two linear representations of g . 1 2 0 ii) For any X in g we have 0 A = [A ,B ]+[B ,A ], [X,Y] X Y X Y B = [B ,B ]. [X,Y] X Y Thus, (B,E) is a nonlinear representation of g in E. 0 Proof. i) Obvious. ii) For any X in g , we have 0 T = A +B , X X X then we have T = A +B = [A +B ,A +B ] = [A ,B ]+[B ,A ]+[B ,B ]. [X,Y] [X,Y] [X,Y] X X Y Y X Y X Y X Y We easily check that A = [A ,B ]+[B ,A ], [X,Y] X Y X Y B = [B ,B ]. [X,Y] X Y (cid:3) Now, we consider a Levi-Malcev decomposition of g : 0 (D) g = r⊕s where s is semi-simple and r is the solvable radical of g. We triangularize simultaneously the H and K , where X browses r (Lie theorem [8]). Thus, we define the linear forms: X X µ ,...,µ ∈ r∗ and ν ,...,ν ∈ r∗. The µ (X),...,µ (X),ν (X),...,ν (X) are the eigen- 1 p 1 q 1 p 1 q values of B1(X), indeed, B1 = H +K . They are also the eigenvalues of T1(X), since X X X A1 ∈ L(E ,E ). Thus, the simultaneous triangulation of H and K leads to that of T1 by X 2 1 retaining the first p components in E and the q other in E . 1 2 Letusdenotebyλ ,...,λ therootsofT1| ,andconsidertheelements λα ofr∗ defined 1 n r j by n λα(X) = α λ (X)−λ (X), j i i j Xi=1 where j = 1,...,n and α ∈N. 7 Definition 4.3 We say that (α,j) is resonant if λα is a root of r. j Definition 4.4 An element X in r is said to be vector resonance if, for any α, for any 0 i and for any j, λα(X )= v (X ) ⇒ λα = v , j 0 i 0 j i where the v are the roots of r. i For the two following lemmas see, for instance, [1] and [2]. Lemma 4.5 The set of vector resonance is dense in r. Lemma 4.6 There exists a resonance vector in r such that [X ,s] = 0. 0 The resonant pairs (α,j) appearing here are of two types: p (1) α ν −µ is a root of r. i=1 i i j P (2) p α ν −ν is a root of r. i=1 i i j P Let us denote by R = {(α,j) | (α,j) resonant of type (1)} and by R′ = {(α,j) | (α,j) resonant of type (2)} Theorem 4.7 T| is normalizable in the sense of [2], that means, there exists an analytic r operator φ= φk in X (E), such that φ1 is invertible and, for any X in r, φ⋆T ◦φ−1 0 X is in the formP: ∂ ∂ Λα(X)yα + Γα(X)yα . i ∂x i ∂y (αX,i)∈R i (αX,i)∈R′ i Proof. Let X be a resonance vector of r such that [X ,s] = 0. It is well known that T is 0 0 X0 analytically normalizable: there exists an analytic operator φ= φk in X (E), such that 0 φ1 is invertible and, for any X in r, P φ⋆T ◦φ−1 = T′ , X0 X0 where T′ = S1 +N with X0 X0 X0 p q ∂ ∂ S1 = µ (X )x + ν (X )y , X0 i 0 i∂x i 0 i∂y Xi=1 i Xi=1 i and [S1 ,N ] = 0.

To prove that φ leaves invariant T| we will prove that m φ= ···(I +W )◦···◦(I +W ), k 1 where I is the identity of E and W ∈ L(⊗kE,E). k s (a) B1 = H +K being decomposed into a semisimpe part S1 and a nilpotent X0 X0 X0 X0 part, therefore, to reduce T1 it suffices to reduce A1 . We decompose A1 : X0 X0 X0 A1 = A1 +A1 , X0 0X0 1X0 where ∂ A1 = a (X )y ∈ ker adS1 0X0 ij 0 i∂x X0 X i (i,j),νj=µi and ∂ A1 = a (X )y ∈ Im adS1 . 1X0 ij 0 i∂x X0 X i (i,j),νj6=µi We reduce A1 by removing A1 . Indeed, for any X and Y in r, X0 1X0 A1 = [A1 ,B1]+[B1 ,A1 ], [X,Y] X Y X Y therefore, there exists W1 in L(E) and a 1-cocycle V1 such that A1 = [B1 ,W ]+V1. X X 1 In particular, A1 = [B1 ,W ]+V1, then we can choose, for instance, X0 X0 1 W = (ad B1 (A1 ) and V1 = A1 . 1 X0 1X0 X0 0X0 The stability of the eigenvector subspaces of ad S1 by B1 proves that W1 ∈ L(E ,E ), X0 X0 2 1 therefore, (I +W ) is invertible and 1 (I +W )⋆T1 ◦(I +W1)−1 = B1 +A1 , (1) 1 X0 X0 0X0 ∂ ∂ (I +W )⋆ ◦(I +W )−1 = , i= 1,...,p. (2) 1 1 ∂x ∂x i i T| is then stable by (i+W ). m 1 9 b) Now, we assume that T is normalized up to order k−1, we write X0 T = S1 + Nj +Tk + Tj X0 X0 X0 X0 X0 1≤Xj<k Xj>k and we decompose Tk : X0 Tk = Tk +Tk , X0 0X0 1X0 where Tk ∈ ker adS1 and Tk ∈ Im adS1 . 0X0 X0 1X0 X0 Therefore, Tk has the following form 0X0 ∂ ∂ Tk =Nk = Λα(X )yα + Γα(X )yα . 0X0 X0 i 0 ∂x i 0 ∂y (α,Xi)∈R0 i (α,Xi)∈R′0 i We seek an operator W in L(⊗kE,E) such that k s (1+W )⋆T = (S1 + Nj + Tj )◦(1+W ). k X0 X0 X0 X0 k 1≤Xj≤k Xj>k We can choose W = (ad T1 )−1(T1 ). k X0 1X0 The eigenvector subspaces of ad S1 are stable by ad T1 , therefore, W has the following X0 X0 k form: ∂ ∂ W = Wαyα + W′αyα . k i ∂x i ∂y (α,Xi)∈R0 i (α,Xi)∈R′0 i Thus, ∂ ∂ (I +W )⋆ ◦(I +W )−1 = , i = 1,...,p. k k ∂x ∂x i i We proceed by induction, so, we construct φ= ···(I +W )◦···◦(I +W ) k 1 which normalizes T| and leaves invariant T| . r m 5 Linearization of T| s Let us now consider the representation (T′,E) of g in E, defined on g by T′ = φ⋆T ◦φ−1. X X The representation being T′| , as in [2], we construct an analytic invertible operator ψ ∈ r X (E), which linearizes T′| and leaves T′| in normal form. This is possible through the 0 s r choice of X switching with s: [X ,s] = 0. 0 0 On the other hand, by construction, the components of ψ are independent of the coordinates x ,...,x , then ψ leaves invariant T′| = T| . 1 p m m 10
