Jul 14, 2011 at 17:25 comment added David E Speyer No and yes. It is not true that $e^{A} e^{B} = e^{A+B}$ so, if $A+B=C$, it need not be true that the eigenvalues of $e^A e^B$ are the exponentials of the eigenvalues of $e^C$. However, it is true that the set of all possible singular values of $e^A e^B$ is the exponential of the set of all possible eigenvalues for $A+B$. This is a theorem of Klyachko ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=1799623 and it is discussed in section 11 of the refernce I give above.
Jul 14, 2011 at 14:08 comment added Martin McCormick Thanks. Yes I came across Horn's stuff. So is this related because if you exponentiate the matrices it is addition of exponents as in the paper?
