Units of a normed algebra #

We construct the Lie group structure on the group of units of a complete normed š•œ-algebra R. The group of units RĖ£ has a natural smooth manifold structure modelled on R given by its embedding into R. Together with the smoothness of the multiplication and inverse of its elements, RĖ£ forms a Lie group.

An important special case of this construction is the general linear group. For a normed space V over a field š•œ, the š•œ-linear endomorphisms of V are a normed š•œ-algebra (see ContinuousLinearMap.toNormedAlgebra), so this construction provides a Lie group structure on its group of units, the general linear group GL(š•œ, V), as demonstrated by:

example {V : Type*} [NormedAddCommGroup V] [NormedSpace š•œ V] [CompleteSpace V] [Nontrivial V] :
  LieGroup š“˜(š•œ, V ā†’L[š•œ] V) (V ā†’L[š•œ] V)Ė£ := by infer_instance

ā†‘(chartAt R a) b = ā†‘b
theorem Units.chartAt_source {R : Type u_1} [NormedRing R] [CompleteSpace R] {a : RĖ£} :

For a complete normed ring R, the embedding of the units RĖ£ into R is a smooth map between manifolds.
