Connected Lie group for which every connected Lie subgroup is simply connected












0












$begingroup$


Let $G$ be a simply connected Lie group. If $G$ is nilpotent, we know every connected Lie subgroup of $G$ is simply connected by Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula. What about the converse? If every connected Lie subgroup $G$ is simply connected, then is $G$ nilpotent? If not, can we classify them?

Consider the group of matrices $pmatrix{a &bcr 0&c}, a,c>0$ every connected subgroup of this group is simply connected but this group is solvable and not nilpotent.

    Thank you! Is there any classification? Must it be solvable? And you use that $mathbb R_{>0}$ is simply connected which does not appear over $mathbb C$.
