of a Lie group over a normed field

An analytic homomorphism of the additive group of the field into , that is, an analytic mapping such that

The image of this homomorphism, which is a subgroup of , is also called a one-parameter subgroup. If , then the continuity of the homomorphism implies that it is analytic. If or , then for any tangent vector to at the point there exists a unique one-parameter subgroup having as its tangent vector at the point . Here , , where is the exponential mapping. In particular, any one-parameter subgroup of the general linear group has the form

If is a real Lie group endowed with a two-sidedly invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric or affine connection, then the one-parameter subgroups of are the geodesics passing through the identity .
