Some remarks on the group of formal diffeomorphisms of the line
Abstract
Consider a strictly positively graded finitely generated infinite-dimensional real Lie algebra . It has a well-defined Lie group , which is an inverse limit of finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups (a pro-unipotent group). Generally, representations (even finite-dimensional representations) of and actions of on manifolds do not admit liftings to . There is a canonically defined dense subgroup with a stronger (Polish) topology, which admits lifting of representations of in finite-dimensional spaces (and, more generally, of representations of by bounded operators in Banach spaces). We describe this completion for the group of formal diffeomorphisms of the line, i.e., substitutions of the form , where are formal series, and show that the group consists of series with subfactorial growth of coefficients.
