Abstract

Let G be a finite-dimensional connected Lie group with Lie algebra g. Denote by E a real vector space and by Aff(E) the group of affine automorphisms

$${\text{Aff}}\left( E \right) = \left\{ {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} A&b \\ 0&1 \end{array}} \right)|A \in {\text{GL}}\left( E \right),{\text{ }}b \in E} \right\}$$
