Much of the progress in the theory of Lie groups has come from a careful analysis of Lie algebras.

\begin{proposition}
If $F: G\to H$ is a Lie group homomorphism, then there is a map $F_*:\fg\to\fh$ which is a Lie algebra homomorphism. We call this map, the \emph{induced Lie algebra homomorphism}.

\item[($\Longleftarrow$)]
Suppose that $\gamma$ is the maximal integral curve for some $v\in\fX_L(G)$ starting at the identity $e$.
Proposition~\ref{prop:XLcomplete} implies that $\gamma$ is defined on all $\R$. Since $L_g$ is a diffeomorphism for all $g\in G$ and $v$ is left-invariant, by Proposition~\ref{prop:conjpfX} $L_g$ maps integral curves of $v$ to integral curves of $v$ (why?).
If $g=\gamma(s)$ for some $s$, the curve $t\mapsto L_{\gamma(s)}(\gamma(t))$ is an integral curve starting at $\gamma(s)$.
By the group property of the flow, also $t\mapsto \gamma(t+s)$ is an integral curve starting at $\gamma(s)$, so they must be equal.
That is, for all $s,t\in \R$,
\begin{equation}
\gamma(s+t) = \gamma(s)\gamma(t).
\end{equation}
Which implies that $\gamma:\R\to G$ is a one-parameter subgroup.

Which implies that $\gamma:\R\to G$ is a one-parameter subgroup.
\item[($\Longrightarrow$)] Let now $\gamma:\R\to G$ be a one-parameter subgroup and $v = \gamma'(0)\in \fg$.
The claim is that $\gamma'(t) = v^L(\gamma(t))$.
Since $\gamma(s)\gamma(t) = \gamma(s+t) = L_{\gamma(t)}(\gamma(s))$ we have
\begin{align}
\gamma'(t) & = \frac{d}{ds}\Big|_{s=0} \gamma(t+s) \\
& = \frac{d}{ds}\Big|_{s=0} L_{\gamma(t)}(\gamma(s)) \\
& = (dL_{\gamma(t)})_{\gamma(0)}(\gamma'(0)) \\
& = (dL_{\gamma(t)})_{e}(v)
= v^L(\gamma(t)).
\end{align}
Again, due to uniqueness of the integral curves, we obtain the claim.
