About Manifolds.jl

Manifolds.jl was started by Seth Axen, Mateusz Baran, Ronny Bergmann, and Antoine Levitt in 2019, after a very fruitful discussion following the release of the first version of Manopt.jl. The goal of Manifolds.jl is to provide a library of manifolds in Julia. The manifolds are implemented using the ManifoldsBase.jl interface.

Contributors

(in alphabetical order)

• Nick Dewaele contributed the Tucker manifold
• Renée Dornig contributed the centered matrices and the essential manifold
• David Hong contributed uniform distributions on the Stiefel and Grassmann manifolds.
• Simon Jacobsson contributed the Segre manifold including its warped metric thereon.
