A simple expression is derived for the terms in the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff series. One formulation of the result involves a finite number of operations with matrices of rational numbers. Generalizations are discussed.
The classical Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula gives a recursive way to compute the Hausdorff series H=ln(e^X e^Y) for non-commuting X,Y. Formally H lives in the graded completion of the free Lie algebra L generated by X,Y. We present a…
We give a new purely algebraic proof of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff theorem, which states that the homogeneous components of the formal expansion of $\log(e^Ae^B)$ are Lie polynomials. Our proof is based on a recurrence formula for these…
We provide a new algorithm for generating the Baker--Campbell--Hausdorff (BCH) series $Z = \log(\e^X \e^Y)$ in an arbitrary generalized Hall basis of the free Lie algebra $\mathcal{L}(X,Y)$ generated by $X$ and $Y$. It is based on the close…
It is pointed out that Reinsch's matrix operation formulation of calculating the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff series [math-ph/9905012] is equivalent to the straightforward series expansion. The amount of calculation does not decrease by his…
In a recent paper the author derived a formula for calculating common denominators for the homogeneous components of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff (BCH) series. In the present work it is proved that this formula actually yields the smallest…
We develop Lie's correspondence and an explicit Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula for commutative automorphic formal loops.
After the torch of Anders Kock [Taylor series calculus for ring objects of line type, Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, 12 (1978), 271-293], we will establish the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula as well as the Zassenhaus formula in the…
For the computation of terms of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff series $H = \log(e^Ae^B})$ some a priori knowledge about the denominators of the coefficients of the series can be beneficial. In this paper an explicit formula for the…
In this work we introduce the contact Heisenberg algebra which is the restriction of the Jacobi algebra on contact manifolds to the linear and constant functions. We give the exact expression of its corresponding Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff…
In a previous article, [arXiv:1501.02506, JPhysA {\bf48} (2015) 225207], we demonstrated that whenever $[X,Y] = u X + vY + cI$ the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula reduces to the tractable closed-form expression \[ Z(X,Y)=\ln( e^X e^Y ) =…
For noncommutative variables x,y an expansion of log(exp(x)exp(y)) in powers of x+y is obtained.Each term of the series is given by an infinite sum in powers of x-y.The series is represented by diagrams.
This paper has two parts. The first part is a review and extension of the methods of integration of Leibniz algebras into Lie racks, including as new feature a new way of integrating 2-cocycles (see Lemma 3.9). In the second part, we use…
We study $\mathcal{O}$-operators and post-Lie products over the same Lie algebra compatible in a certain sense. We prove that the group product corresponding to the formal integration of the Lie algebra, which is adjacent to the sum of two…
A closed expression to the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff (B-C-H) formula in SO(4) is given by making use of the magic matrix by Makhlin. As far as we know this is the {\bf first nontrivial example} on (semi-) simple Lie groups summing up all…
We address the problem of constructing the non-associative version of the Dynkin form of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula; that is, expressing $\log (\exp (x)\exp(y))$, where $x$ and $y$ are non-associative variables, in terms of the…
