A Criterion Concerning Lie Groups

#1

Post by Tsakanikas Nickos »

Definition: A smooth manifold $G$ with a group structure such that the multiplication map $ \cdot \ \colon G \times G \longrightarrow G \ , \ (g,h) \mapsto g \cdot h$ and the inversion map $ G \longrightarrow G \ , \ g \mapsto g^{-1} $ are smooth is called a Lie Group.



Let $G$ be a smooth manifold with a group structure such that the map $ G \times G \longrightarrow G \ , \ (g,h) \mapsto gh^{-1} $ is smooth. Show that $G$ is a Lie Group.
