Orthogonal and Unitary matrices

 OrthogonalMatrices{n} = GeneralUnitaryMatrices{n,ℝ,AbsoluteDeterminantOneMatrices}

The manifold of (real) orthogonal matrices $\mathrm{O}(n)$.

OrthogonalMatrices(n)

const UnitaryMatrices{n,𝔽} = AbstarctUnitaryMatrices{n,𝔽,AbsoluteDeterminantOneMatrices}

The manifold $U(n,𝔽)$ of $n×n$ complex matrices (when 𝔽=ℂ) or quaternionic matrices (when 𝔽=ℍ) such that

$p^{\mathrm{H}}p = \mathrm{I}_n,$

where $\mathrm{I}_n$ is the $n×n$ identity matrix. Such matrices p have a property that $\lVert \det(p) \rVert = 1$.

The tangent spaces are given by

\[ T_pU(n) \coloneqq \bigl\{ X \big| pY \text{ where } Y \text{ is skew symmetric, i. e. } Y = -Y^{\mathrm{H}} \bigr\}\]

But note that tangent vectors are represented in the Lie algebra, i.e. just using $Y$ in the representation above.

Constructor

UnitaryMatrices(n, 𝔽::AbstractNumbers=ℂ)

see also OrthogonalMatrices for the real valued case.

riemannian_Hessian(M::UnitaryMatrices, p, G, H, X)

The Riemannian Hessian can be computed by adopting Eq. (5.6) [Ngu23], so very similar to the complex Stiefel manifold. The only difference is, that here the tangent vectors are stored in the Lie algebra, i.e. the update direction is actually $pX$ instead of just $X$ (in Stiefel). and that means the inverse has to be appliead to the (Euclidean) Hessian to map it into the Lie algebra.

Weingarten(M::UnitaryMatrices, p, X, V)

Compute the Weingarten map $\mathcal W_p$ at p on the Stiefel M with respect to the tangent vector $X \in T_p\mathcal M$ and the normal vector $V \in N_p\mathcal M$.

The formula is due to [AMT13] given by

\[\mathcal W_p(X,V) = -\frac{1}{2}p\bigl(V^{\mathrm{H}}X - X^\mathrm{H}V\bigr)\]

manifold_dimension(M::UnitaryMatrices{n,ℂ}) where {n}

Return the dimension of the manifold unitary matrices.

\[\dim_{\mathrm{U}(n)} = n^2.\]

manifold_dimension(M::UnitaryMatrices{n,ℍ})

Return the dimension of the manifold unitary matrices.

\[\dim_{\mathrm{U}(n, ℍ)} = n(2n+1).\]

AbsoluteDeterminantOneMatrices <: AbstractMatrixType

A type to indicate that we require (orthogonal / unitary) matrices with normed determinant, i.e. that the absolute value of the determinant is 1.

AbstractMatrixType

A plain type to distinguish different types of matrices, for example DeterminantOneMatrices and AbsoluteDeterminantOneMatrices

DeterminantOneMatrices <: AbstractMatrixType

A type to indicate that we require special (orthogonal / unitary) matrices, i.e. of determinant 1.

GeneralUnitaryMatrices{n,𝔽,S<:AbstractMatrixType} <: AbstractDecoratorManifold

A common parametric type for matrices with a unitary property of size $n×n$ over the field $\mathbb F$ which additionally have the AbstractMatrixType, e.g. are DeterminantOneMatrices.

exp(M::Rotations, p, X)
exp(M::OrthogonalMatrices, p, X)
exp(M::UnitaryMatrices, p, X)

Compute the exponential map, that is, since $X$ is represented in the Lie algebra,

exp_p(X) = p\mathrm{e}^X

For different sizes, like $n=2,3,4$ there is specialised implementations

The algorithm used is a more numerically stable form of those proposed in [GX02] and [AR13].

log(M::Rotations, p, X)
log(M::OrthogonalMatrices, p, X)
log(M::UnitaryMatrices, p, X)

Compute the logarithmic map, that is, since the resulting $X$ is represented in the Lie algebra,

log_p q = \log(p^{\mathrm{H}q)

which is projected onto the skew symmetric matrices for numerical stability.

log(M::Rotations, p, q)

Compute the logarithmic map on the Rotations manifold M which is given by

\[\log_p q = \operatorname{log}(p^{\mathrm{T}}q)\]

where $\operatorname{Log}$ denotes the matrix logarithm. For numerical stability, the result is projected onto the set of skew symmetric matrices.

For antipodal rotations the function returns deterministically one of the tangent vectors that point at q.

cos_angles_4d_rotation_matrix(R)

4D rotations can be described by two orthogonal planes that are unchanged by the action of the rotation (vectors within a plane rotate only within the plane). The cosines of the two angles $α,β$ of rotation about these planes may be obtained from the distinct real parts of the eigenvalues of the rotation matrix. This function computes these more efficiently by solving the system

\[\begin{aligned} \cos α + \cos β &= \frac{1}{2} \operatorname{tr}(R)\\ \cos α \cos β &= \frac{1}{8} \operatorname{tr}(R)^2 - \frac{1}{16} \operatorname{tr}((R - R^T)^2) - 1. \end{aligned}\]

By convention, the returned values are sorted in decreasing order. See also angles_4d_skew_sym_matrix.

manifold_volume(::GeneralUnitaryMatrices{n,ℂ,DeterminantOneMatrices}) where {n}

Volume of the manifold of complex general unitary matrices of determinant one. The formula reads [BST03]

\[\sqrt{n 2^{n-1}} π^{(n-1)(n+2)/2} \prod_{k=1}^{n-1}\frac{1}{k!}\]

manifold_volume(::GeneralUnitaryMatrices{n,ℝ,AbsoluteDeterminantOneMatrices}) where {n}

Volume of the manifold of real orthogonal matrices of absolute determinant one. The formula reads [BST03]:

\[\begin{cases} \frac{2^{k}(2\pi)^{k^2}}{\prod_{s=1}^{k-1} (2s)!} & \text{ if } n = 2k \\ \frac{2^{k+1}(2\pi)^{k(k+1)}}{\prod_{s=1}^{k-1} (2s+1)!} & \text{ if } n = 2k+1 \end{cases}\]

manifold_volume(::GeneralUnitaryMatrices{n,ℝ,DeterminantOneMatrices}) where {n}

Volume of the manifold of real orthogonal matrices of determinant one. The formula reads [BST03]:

\[\begin{cases} 2 & \text{ if } n = 0 \\ \frac{2^{k-1/2}(2\pi)^{k^2}}{\prod_{s=1}^{k-1} (2s)!} & \text{ if } n = 2k+2 \\ \frac{2^{k+1/2}(2\pi)^{k(k+1)}}{\prod_{s=1}^{k-1} (2s+1)!} & \text{ if } n = 2k+1 \end{cases}\]

It differs from the paper by a factor of sqrt(2) due to a different choice of normalization.

manifold_volume(::GeneralUnitaryMatrices{n,ℂ,AbsoluteDeterminantOneMatrices}) where {n}

Volume of the manifold of complex general unitary matrices of absolute determinant one. The formula reads [BST03]

\[\sqrt{n 2^{n+1}} π^{n(n+1)/2} \prod_{k=1}^{n-1}\frac{1}{k!}\]
