Geometry of infinite dimensional Cartan developments
The Cartan development takes a Lie algebra valued 1-form satisfying the Maurer–Cartan equation on a simply connected manifold [Formula: see text] to a smooth mapping from [Formula: see text] into the Lie group. In this paper, this is generalized to infinite dimensional [Formula: see text] 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.
