| Jun 10, 2011 at 23:43 | comment | added | Mark Meckes | Actually I think I want the normalization induced by the standard embedding in a Euclidean space... | |
| Jun 10, 2011 at 15:52 | comment | added | Mark Meckes | José: Yes, I want a bi-invariant metric. Being careful about normalizations has always been a weak suit of mine, but I believe unit volume is the normalization I want here. (Bad answer: I want whichever kind normalization makes it true that the curvature of $O(n)$ is $(n-1)/4$.) | |

Corrected typos

| Jun 10, 2011 at 15:35 | comment | added | José Figueroa-O'Farrill | I'm assuming that you are referring to $Sp(n)$ with a bi-invariant metric. How are you normalising the metric? Unit volume? | |
