Naturality and innerness for morphisms of compact groups and (restricted) Lie algebras
Abstract
An extended derivation (endomorphism) of a (restricted) Lie algebra is an assignment of a derivation (respectively) of for any (restricted) Lie morphism , functorial in in the obvious sense. We show that (a) the only extended endomorphisms of a restricted Lie algebra are the two obvious ones, assigning either the identity or the zero map of to every ; and (b) if is a Lie algebra in characteristic zero or a restricted Lie algebra in positive characteristic, then is in canonical bijection with its space of extended derivations (so the latter are all, in a sense, inner). These results answer a number of questions of G. Bergman. In a similar vein, we show that the individual components of an extended endomorphism of a compact connected group are either all trivial or all inner automorphisms.
