Lie Algebras and Lie Groups
The Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff (BCH) theorem provides a formula for expressing the logarithm of the product of exponentials of elements from a Lie algebra in terms of the commutators of those elements. This theorem is crucial for understanding how to combine transformations in a Lie group and relates to the structure of the corresponding Lie algebra, especially in terms of how these exponentials interact with one another through their commutative properties and can lead to insights about solvable and nilpotent algebras.
