Free Banach-Lie algebras, couniversal Banach-Lie groups, and more

Vladimir G. Pestov

Vol. 157 (1993), No. 1, 137–144
Abstract

The construction of free Banach-Lie algebra over a normed space enables us to build a connected separable Banach-Lie group of which any other connected separable Banach-Lie group is a quotient. New proofs are given to the result on representability of any Banach-Lie algebra as a quotient of an enlargable Banach-Lie algebra (due to van Est and Świerczkowski) and to the result on representability of any topological group as a quotient of a group with no small subgroups (due to successive efforts of Morris and Thompson, the author, and Sipacheva and Uspenskiĭ).
