→ kerwinhui : H' -> G not injective, easier eg: S^1 -> C* 01/27 01:25
→ WasabiSushi : 抱歉, C*=C-{0}不是simply connected的. 01/27 21:46
→ kerwinhui : Oops, try S^1 -> SU(2); z |-> diag(z,z^*) 01/28 18:37
→ kerwinhui : Or: maximal torus in s.c. Lie group 01/28 18:46
→ WasabiSushi : Thanks. As to your example, S^1=SO(2)->SU(2) is 01/29 02:30
→ WasabiSushi : lifted to Spin(2)->SU(2). Do you mean that this 01/29 02:32
→ WasabiSushi : is not injective? 01/29 02:33
→ kerwinhui : Spin(2)->SO(2) is z|->z^2, Spin(2) is not s.c. 01/29 07:14
→ kerwinhui : Spin(2)->SU(2) has kernel ±1 01/29 07:16
→ WasabiSushi : Sorry,I'm a bit confused.The fundamental group 01/29 13:57
→ WasabiSushi : of S^1 is Z,so the kernal of the covering map is 01/29 14:02
→ WasabiSushi : Z instead of {1,-1}.Actually,Spin(2) is just 01/29 14:06
→ WasabiSushi : isomorphic to R*.But what makes me fell strange 01/29 14:08
→ WasabiSushi : is that the Lie algebra injection R->su(2) 01/29 14:12
→ WasabiSushi : given by x|->diag(ix,-ix) doesn't lift to a 01/29 14:18
→ WasabiSushi : group homomorphism. 01/29 14:18
→ kerwinhui : No! Spin(2) is the unique double cover of SO(2) 01/29 14:29
→ kerwinhui : and exponentiating from algebra to group does 01/29 14:30
→ kerwinhui : not preserve injection. 01/29 14:31
→ kerwinhui : otherwise there would be no maximal tori, a huge 01/29 14:31
→ kerwinhui : blow to much of Lie theory 01/29 14:32
→ WasabiSushi : Oh,you are right.Spin(2) is not the universal 01/29 15:14
→ WasabiSushi : cover.Yes,exponentiating does not preserve 01/29 15:20
→ WasabiSushi : injection. Thank you so much! 01/29 15:21
