Show $\langle \log(R), \log(R^{-1}S) \rangle \geq \langle \log(R), \log(S) - \log(R) \rangle $ for all $R,S \in \mathrm{SO}(3)$
$\DeclareMathOperator\SO{SO}$I have a similar question to one I asked a few days ago. Lately, I've been researching Lie groups equipped with bi-invariant Riemannian metrics. One common object is $\SO(...

Is it true $\left\|\log(RS)\right\|≤\left\|\log(R)+\log(S)\right\|$ for all $R,S \in \mathrm{SO}(3)$, where $\|\cdot\|$ is the Frobenius norm?
$\DeclareMathOperator\SO{SO}$I asked this initially in math stack exchange, but thought to ask it here since it is more advanced and related to my research topic. I study optimization on Lie groups ...

Evaluate $\int_\phi e^{tr(RM)} dR$ where $\phi$ is a set of all real orthonormal matrices of a certain size
I am trying to evaluate $\int_\phi e^{tr(RM)} dR$ where $\phi$ is a set of all real orthogonal matrices of a certain size. $M$ is an arbitrary real matrix (of a certain size).
This is equivalent to
$$\...

Is the group law for SO(2n, R) encoded in so(2n,R)?
Note that this is a partial duplicate of my math.stackexchange question here. In this post I am asking something slightly broader. Note that I am a mathematical physicist and not a representation ...

Principal orbit and the generic stabilizer of SO(2n)xSO(2n)
Let $SO(2n)$ denote the special orthogonal group of $2n\times 2n$ matrices over the complex numbers.
Consider the action of $SO(2n)\times SO(2n)$ on the set of $2n\times 2n$ matrices : $ADB^{T}$, ...

LU decomposition for orthogonal or unitary matrices?
Is there any references on LU decomposition for orthogonal or unitary matrices?
It seems to me that the diagonal entries of $U$ has some nice structure regarding to the Euler angles of the original ...

Principal curvatures of $\mathbb{R}^{n^2}$-embedded SO(n)
It's well known that the sectional curvatures of a Lie group, endowed with a left-invariant metric have a nice closed-form formula $k(X,Y) = \frac{1}{4} \|[X Y]\|^2$.
I'm wondering if the following (...
