Feb 4, 2010 at 10:42 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | Right, I misunderstood what "this family" was. See Thorny's answer below for the relevant details (I've definitely seen something like this for SO(n,R) in books on Lie groups, for instance). | |

Feb 4, 2010 at 10:39 | comment | added | Mihail Matrix | By differ I mean one is equal to the other multiplied by some element of $SU(n-1)$ (multiplication in the sense explained above). | |
Feb 4, 2010 at 10:34 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | I suspect this is known and in books if it holds up - for a start, what do you mean by "differ"? Also, the statement in your third sentence is almost immediate from general geometric principles. | |
