The Normalizer of a Lie Group: Applications and Challenges

Let G be a connected Lie group with Lie algebra (Formula presented.) This review is devoted to studying the fundamental dynamic properties of elements in the normalizer (Formula presented.) of G. Through an algebraic characterization of (Formula presented.), we analyze the different dynamics inside the normalizer. (Formula presented.) contains the well-known left-invariant vector fields and the linear and affine vector fields on G. In any case, we show the shape of the solutions of these ordinary differential equations on G. We give examples in low-dimensional Lie groups. It is worth saying that these dynamics generate the linear and bilinear control systems on Euclidean spaces and the invariant and linear control systems on Lie groups. Moreover, the Jouan Equivalence Theorem shows how to extend this theory to control systems on manifolds.
