Sep 14, 2015 at 16:23 comment added Robert Bryant I assume that you know that $U$ and $V$ are very far from being unique in Thompson's formula. In fact, for 'generic' $A$ and $B$, there will be a family of pairs $(U,V)$ of dimension $n^2-1$ that satisfy Thompson's formula. Just look at the case $n=2$, and you'l see why.
