Closed subgroup of $GL({cal A})$












0














I'm trying to prove that for any algebra ${cal A}$, $Aut({cal A}) = {a in End({cal A}) | a([x, y]) = [a(x), a(y)], forall x, y in {cal A}}$ is a closed subgroup of $GL({cal A})$.



I can prove that it is a subgroup just showing that $acirc a^{'-1}$ is in $Aut({cal A})$ which is direct computation. Nevertherless, I don't know how to show that thi group is closed. I've been thinking about proving that it is the isotropy group of $GL({cal A})$, but I don't get it. I tried to impose that $[x, y]$ is the fixed point for the isotropy subgroup, but I just get:



$$a([x, y]) = a(x)a(y) - a(y)a(x) = xy - yx$$



But this means nothing because $a in Aut({cal A})$ is not imposing that $[x, y]$ is fixed.



How do I solve it?

  • First $ain GL(A)$, not $End(A)$. Otherwise you'd have $0in Aut(A)$. For the question, try to exhibit $Aut(A)$ as a zero set of polynomials

  • $a in End({cal A})$ because $a$ is a linear map $a: {cal A} rightarrow {cal A}$, and I don't know what you mean by exhibit the automorphism group as a set of zero polynomials

  • You need yo specify that $a$ is invertible if that's what you want. A polynomial on a manifold $X$ is a smooth function. So the preimage of zero is closed
