For in the Lie algebra , set . The one-parameter subgroup law gives the flow law, and
so this is the global flow of the left-invariant vector field .
For , every tangent vector at is the initial velocity of for some . Since ,
Thus all vanish exactly when every derivative of vanishes. This is equivalent to being a locally constant function.
