The van Est theorem for Rota-Baxter Lie groups
Abstract
Rota-Baxter Lie groups are the group-level counterparts of Rota-Baxter Lie algebras of weight $1$. In this paper, we first establish a correspondence between representations of Rota-Baxter Lie groups and representations of Rota-Baxter Lie algebras of weight $1$ via differentiation and integration. We then develop a cohomology theory for Rota-Baxter Lie groups with coefficients in a representation by constructing an explicit cochain complex in arbitrary degrees. We justify this theory by proving a van Est type theorem, which relates the cohomology of a Rota-Baxter Lie group to that of its Rota-Baxter Lie algebra of weight $1$. As an application, we prove that equivalence classes of central extensions of a Rota-Baxter Lie group are classified by the second cohomology group.
