Historical remarks on the surjectivity of the exponential function of Lie groups (Q1851222)

In the article under review the author clarifies some historical issues concerning results on the surjectivity of the exponential function in the work of Engel and Study. A central point is that Engel's work contains the false claim that the exponential function of the groups \(\text{PSO}_n(\mathbb C)\) and \(PSp_{2n}(\mathbb C)\) is surjective, and this claim has been cited at prominent places of the \(20^{th}\) century mathematical literature such as Bourbaki's historical notes.
