Group Actions<br />

A Lie group is a nonsingular variety (manifold) such that the multiplication<br />

and the inverse are analytic functions.<br />

An (left) action <strong>of</strong> a Lie group G on a manifold M is an analytic function<br />

G × M → M, (g,m) ↦→ g.m, such that (gh).m = g.(h.m).<br />

The group action induces an equivalence relation on M. The equivalence<br />

classes are called orbits.<br />
