Geodesics on Sp(2,R)

Given the symplectic group $\mathrm{Sp}(2,\mathbb{R})$, represented as real $2\times 2$ matrices, I would like to compute the geodesic from the identity matrix $1\!\!1$ to the group element \begin{ali …

Geodesic in space of circulant matrices

I'm trying to find the geodesic that connects the identity with some circulant, symmetric matrix $U\in\mathrm{GL}(N,\mathbb{R})$, meaning we have \begin{align} U=\left(\begin{array}{ccc} u_1 & u_2 & …

Lifting one parameter subgroup $e^{t K}$ to the universal cover of $\mathrm{Sp}(2N,\mathbb{R})$

I would like to lift an arbitrary one-parameter subgroup $e^{t K}$ with $K\in\mathfrak{sp}(2N,\mathbb{R})$ to the universal cover $\widetilde{\mathrm{Sp}}(2N,\mathbb{R})$ (or at least its two-fold cov …

Lifting one parameter subgroup $e^{t K}$ to the universal cover of $\mathrm{Sp}(2N,\mathbb{R})$

I made some progress in the sense that I believe that I could reduce it to a more standard problem: Morally speaking, I have \begin{align} c_K(t)=\mathrm{Im}\log\det\left(\frac{e^{tK}-Je^{tK}J}{2}\rig …

one-parameter subgroup and geodesics on Lie group

I may have a similar answer with an alternative derivation. Given a group $G$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and right-invariant inner product $\langle A,B\rangle_g=\langle Ag^{-1},Bg^{-1}\rangle_e$ …
