In mathematics, the Lie product formula, named for Sophus Lie (1875), states that for arbitrary n × n real or complex matrices A and B, where eA denotes the matrix exponential of A.

This formula is an analogue of the classical exponential law which holds for all real or complex numbers x and y. If x and y are replaced with matrices A and B, and the exponential replaced with a matrix exponential, it is usually necessary for A and B to commute for the law to still hold.
