In a coordinate chart centred at the identity, smooth multiplication has a local group lawThe identity gives and , while associativity gives the functional equation . Smooth inversion determines coordinates with . Changes of local coordinates alter the symmetric part of , whereas its antisymmetric part supplies the coordinate-independent Lie bracket on the tangent space at the identity.
