Notions of differential geometry are introduced for these groups. In particular, the Ricci curvature, which is understood as the limit of the Ricci curvature of finite-dimensional groups, is calculated. We show that for some of these groups the Ricci curvature is $-\\infty$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-06-14T14:06:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "58B20", "81R10" ], "keywords": [ "infinite-dimensional lie groups", "hilbert-schmidt groups", "riemannian geometry", "ricci curvature", "infinite-dimensional lie algebra" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......6276G" } } }
