local Nagano theorem


Theorem (Local Nagano Theorem).

Let ΩRn be an open neighbourhood of a point x0. Further let g be a Lie subalgebra of the Lie algebraMathworldPlanetmath of real analytic real vector fields on Ω which is also a Cω(Ω;R)-module. Then there exists a real analytic submanifold MΩ with x0M, such that for all xM we have

Tx(M)=𝔤(x).

Furthermore the germ of M at x is the unique germ of a submanifold with this property.

Here note that Tx(M) is the tangent space of M at x, Cω(Ω;) are the real analytic real valued functions on Ω. Also real analytic real vector fields on Ω are the real analytic sectionsPlanetmathPlanetmath of T(Ω), the real tangent bundleMathworldPlanetmath of Ω.

Definition.

The germ of the manifoldMathworldPlanetmath M is called the local Nagano leaf of 𝔤 at x0.

Definition.

The union of all connected real analytic embedded submanifolds of Ω whose germ at x0 coincides with the germ of M at x0 is called the global Nagano leaf.

The global Nagano leaf turns out to be a connected immersed real analytic submanifold which may however not be an embedded submanifold of Ω.
