Aspects of control theory on infinite-dimensional Lie groups and G-manifolds

We develop aspects of geometric control theory on Lie groups G which may be infinite dimensional, and on smooth G-manifolds M modelled on locally convex spaces. As a tool, we discuss existence and uniqueness questions for differential equations on M given by time-dependent fundamental vector fields which are L^1 in time. We then discuss the closures of reachable sets in M for controls in the Lie algebra of G, or within a compact convex subset of the Lie algebra. Regularity properties of the Lie group G play an important role.
