A Lie-Trotter Formula for Riemannian Manifolds and Applications
Journal of Lie Theory, Volume 20 (2010) no. 4, pp. 665-672
We derive a Lie-Trotter formula for general Riemannian manifolds based on the local existence of a midpoint operation and given in terms of that operation. As a corollary one obtains that continuous maps between Riemannian manifolds that preserve the local midpoint structure are smooth. In particular, this is true for (local) isometries.
