Group manifolds and actions

AbstractGroupOperation

Abstract type for smooth binary operations $∘$ on elements of a Lie group $\mathcal{G}$:

\[∘ : \mathcal{G} × \mathcal{G} → \mathcal{G}\]

An operation can be either defined for a specific group manifold over number system 𝔽 or in general, by defining for an operation Op the following methods:

identity_element!(::AbstractDecoratorManifold, q, q)
inv!(::AbstractDecoratorManifold, q, p)
_compose!(::AbstractDecoratorManifold, x, p, q)

Note that a manifold is connected with an operation by wrapping it with a decorator, AbstractDecoratorManifold using the IsGroupManifold to specify the operation. For a concrete case the concrete wrapper GroupManifold can be used.

AbstractInvarianceTrait <: AbstractTrait

A common supertype for anz AbstractTrait related to metric invariance

ActionDirection

struct ForwardBackwardSwitch <: AbstractDirectionSwitchType end

Switch between forward and backward action, maintaining left/right direction.

GroupExponentialRetraction{D<:ActionDirection} <: AbstractRetractionMethod

For more details, see retract.

Constructor

Retraction using the group logarithm log_lie "translated" to any point on the manifold.

For more details, see inverse_retract.

Constructor

Identity{O<:AbstractGroupOperation}

Represent the group identity element $e ∈ \mathcal{G}$ on a Lie group $\mathcal G$ with AbstractGroupOperation of type O.

Similar to the philosophy that points are agnostic of their group at hand, the identity does not store the group g it belongs to. However it depends on the type of the AbstractGroupOperation used.

See also identity_element on how to obtain the corresponding AbstractManifoldPoint or array representation.

Constructors

Identity(G::AbstractDecoratorManifold{𝔽})
Identity(o::O)
Identity(::Type{O})

create the identity of the corresponding subtype O<:AbstractGroupOperation

IsGroupManifold{O<:AbstractGroupOperation} <: AbstractTrait

A trait to declare an AbstractManifold as a manifold with group structure with operation of type O.

Using this trait you can turn a manifold that you implement implictly into a Lie group. If you wish to decorate an existing manifold with one (or different) AbstractGroupActions, see GroupManifold.

Constructor

IsGroupManifold(op)

LeftBackwardAction()

Left action of a group on a manifold. For an action $α: X × G → X$ it is characterized by

\[α(α(x, h), g) = α(x, gh)\]

for all $g, h ∈ G$ and $x ∈ X$.

Note that a left action may still act from the right side in an expression.

LeftForwardAction()

Left action of a group on a manifold. For an action $α: G × X → X$ it is characterized by

\[α(g, α(h, x)) = α(gh, x)\]

for all $g, h ∈ G$ and $x ∈ X$.

struct LeftRightSwitch <: AbstractDirectionSwitchType end

Switch between left and right action, maintaining forward/backward direction.

RightBackwardAction()

Right action of a group on a manifold. For an action $α: X × G → X$ it is characterized by

\[α(α(x, h), g) = α(x, hg)\]

for all $g, h ∈ G$ and $x ∈ X$.

Note that a right action may still act from the left side in an expression.

RightForwardAction()

Right action of a group on a manifold. For an action $α: G × X → X$ it is characterized by

\[α(g, α(h, x)) = α(hg, x)\]

for all $g, h ∈ G$ and $x ∈ X$.

Note that a right action may still act from the left side in an expression.

struct LeftRightSwitch <: AbstractDirectionSwitchType end

Simultaneously switch left/right and forward/backward directions.

inv(G::AbstractDecoratorManifold, p)

Inverse $p^{-1} ∈ \mathcal{G}$ of an element $p ∈ \mathcal{G}$, such that $p \circ p^{-1} = p^{-1} \circ p = e ∈ \mathcal{G}$, where $e$ is the Identity element of $\mathcal{G}$.

adjoint_action(G::AbstractDecoratorManifold, p, X)

Adjoint action of the element p of the Lie group G on the element X of the corresponding Lie algebra.

It is defined as the differential of the group authomorphism $Ψ_p(q) = pqp⁻¹$ at the identity of G.

The formula reads

\[\operatorname{Ad}_p(X) = dΨ_p(e)[X]\]

where $e$ is the identity element of G.

Note that the adjoint representation of a Lie group isn't generally faithful. Notably the adjoint representation of SO(2) is trivial.

compose(G::AbstractDecoratorManifold, p, q)

Compose elements $p,q ∈ \mathcal{G}$ using the group operation $p \circ q$.

For implementing composition on a new group manifold, please overload _compose instead so that methods with Identity arguments are not ambiguous.

exp_lie(G, X)
exp_lie!(G, q, X)

Compute the group exponential of the Lie algebra element X. It is equivalent to the exponential map defined by the CartanSchoutenMinus connection.

Given an element $X ∈ 𝔤 = T_e \mathcal{G}$, where $e$ is the Identity element of the group $\mathcal{G}$, and $𝔤$ is its Lie algebra, the group exponential is the map

\[\exp : 𝔤 → \mathcal{G},\]

such that for $t,s ∈ ℝ$, $γ(t) = \exp (t X)$ defines a one-parameter subgroup with the following properties. Note that one-parameter subgroups are commutative (see [Suh13], section 3.5), even if the Lie group itself is not commutative.

\[\begin{aligned} γ(t) &= γ(-t)^{-1}\\ γ(t + s) &= γ(t) \circ γ(s) = γ(s) \circ γ(t)\\ γ(0) &= e\\ \lim_{t → 0} \frac{d}{dt} γ(t) &= X. \end{aligned}\]

For example for the MultiplicationOperation and either Number or AbstractMatrix the Lie exponential is the numeric/matrix exponential.

\[\exp X = \operatorname{Exp} X = \sum_{n=0}^∞ \frac{1}{n!} X^n.\]

Since this function also depends on the group operation, make sure to implement the corresponding trait version exp_lie(::TraitList{<:IsGroupManifold}, G, X).

get_coordinates_lie(G::AbstractManifold, X, B::AbstractBasis)

Get the coordinates of an element X from the Lie algebra og G with respect to a basis B. This is similar to calling get_coordinates at the p=Identity(G).

get_vector_lie(G::AbstractDecoratorManifold, a, B::AbstractBasis)

Reconstruct a tangent vector from the Lie algebra of G from cooordinates a of a basis B. This is similar to calling get_vector at the p=Identity(G).

Return a point representation of the Identity on the IsGroupManifold G, where p indicates the type to represent the identity.

identity_element(G)

Return a point representation of the Identity on the IsGroupManifold G. By default this representation is the default array or number representation. It should return the corresponding default representation of $e$ as a point on G if points are not represented by arrays.

inverse_translate(G::AbstractDecoratorManifold, p, q, conv::ActionDirection=LeftForwardAction())

\[\begin{aligned} L_p^{-1} &: q ↦ p^{-1} \circ q\\ R_p^{-1} &: q ↦ q \circ p^{-1}. \end{aligned}\]

inverse_translate_diff(G::AbstractDecoratorManifold, p, q, X, conv::ActionDirection=LeftForwardAction())

For group elements $p, q ∈ \mathcal{G}$ and tangent vector $X ∈ T_q \mathcal{G}$, compute the action on $X$ of the differential of the inverse translation $τ_p$ by $p$, with the specified left or right convention. The differential transports vectors:

\[(\mathrm{d}τ_p^{-1})_q : T_q \mathcal{G} → T_{τ_p^{-1} q} \mathcal{G}\\\]

is_group_manifold(G::GroupManifold)
is_group_manifoldd(G::AbstractManifold, o::AbstractGroupOperation)

returns whether an AbstractDecoratorManifold is a group manifold with AbstractGroupOperation o. For a GroupManifold G this checks whether the right operations is stored within G.

is_identity(G::AbstractDecoratorManifold, q; kwargs)

Check whether q is the identity on the IsGroupManifold G, i.e. it is either the Identity{O} with the corresponding AbstractGroupOperation O, or (approximately) the correct point representation.

lie_bracket(G::AbstractDecoratorManifold, X, Y)

Lie bracket between elements X and Y of the Lie algebra corresponding to the Lie group G, cf. IsGroupManifold.

This can be used to compute the adjoint representation of a Lie algebra. Note that this representation isn't generally faithful. Notably the adjoint representation of 𝔰𝔬(2) is trivial.

log_lie(G, q)
log_lie!(G, X, q)

Compute the Lie group logarithm of the Lie group element q. It is equivalent to the logarithmic map defined by the CartanSchoutenMinus connection.

Given an element $q ∈ \mathcal{G}$, compute the right inverse of the group exponential map exp_lie, that is, the element $\log q = X ∈ 𝔤 = T_e \mathcal{G}$, such that $q = \exp X$

\[\log q = \operatorname{Log} q = \sum_{n=1}^∞ \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{n} (q - e)^n,\]

where $e$ here is the Identity element, that is, $1$ for numeric $q$ or the identity matrix $I_m$ for matrix $q ∈ ℝ^{m × m}$.

Since this function also depends on the group operation, make sure to implement either

• _log_lie(G, q) and _log_lie!(G, X, q) for the points not being the Identity
• the trait version log_lie(::TraitList{<:IsGroupManifold}, G, e), log_lie(::TraitList{<:IsGroupManifold}, G, X, e) for own implementations of the identity case.

switch_direction(::ActionDirection, type::AbstractDirectionSwitchType = SimultaneousSwitch())

Returns type of action between left and right, forward or backward, or both at the same type, depending on type, which is either of LeftRightSwitch, ForwardBackwardSwitch or SimultaneousSwitch.

translate(G::AbstractDecoratorManifold, p, q, conv::ActionDirection=LeftForwardAction()])

Translate group element $q$ by $p$ with the translation $τ_p$ with the specified convention, either left forward ($L_p$), left backward ($R'_p$), right backward ($R_p$) or right forward ($L'_p$), defined as

\[\begin{aligned} L_p &: q ↦ p \circ q\\ L'_p &: q ↦ p^{-1} \circ q\\ R_p &: q ↦ q \circ p\\ R'_p &: q ↦ q \circ p^{-1}. \end{aligned}\]

translate_diff(G::AbstractDecoratorManifold, p, q, X, conv::ActionDirection=LeftForwardAction())

For group elements $p, q ∈ \mathcal{G}$ and tangent vector $X ∈ T_q \mathcal{G}$, compute the action of the differential of the translation $τ_p$ by $p$ on $X$, with the specified left or right convention. The differential transports vectors:

\[(\mathrm{d}τ_p)_q : T_q \mathcal{G} → T_{τ_p q} \mathcal{G}\\\]

hat(M::AbstractDecoratorManifold{𝔽,O}, ::Identity{O}, Xⁱ) where {𝔽,O<:AbstractGroupOperation}

Given a basis $e_i$ on the tangent space at a the Identity and tangent component vector $X^i$, compute the equivalent vector representation ``X=X^i e_i**, where Einstein summation notation is used:

\[∧ : X^i ↦ X^i e_i\]

For array manifolds, this converts a vector representation of the tangent vector to an array representation. The vee map is the hat map's inverse.

inverse_retract(
    G::AbstractDecoratorManifold,
    p,
    X,
    method::GroupLogarithmicInverseRetraction{<:ActionDirection},
)

Compute the inverse retraction using the group logarithm log_lie "translated" to any point on the manifold. With a group translation (translate) $τ_p$ in a specified direction, the retraction is

\[\operatorname{retr}_p^{-1} = (\mathrm{d}τ_p)_e \circ \log \circ τ_p^{-1},\]

where $\log$ is the group logarithm (log_lie), and $(\mathrm{d}τ_p)_e$ is the action of the differential of translation $τ_p$ evaluated at the identity element $e$ (see translate_diff).

retract(
    G::AbstractDecoratorManifold,
    p,
    X,
    method::GroupExponentialRetraction{<:ActionDirection},
)

Compute the retraction using the group exponential exp_lie "translated" to any point on the manifold. With a group translation (translate) $τ_p$ in a specified direction, the retraction is

\[\operatorname{retr}_p = τ_p \circ \exp \circ (\mathrm{d}τ_p^{-1})_p,\]

where $\exp$ is the group exponential (exp_lie), and $(\mathrm{d}τ_p^{-1})_p$ is the action of the differential of inverse translation $τ_p^{-1}$ evaluated at $p$ (see inverse_translate_diff).

vee(M::AbstractManifold, p, X)

Given a basis $e_i$ on the tangent space at a point p and tangent vector X, compute the vector components $X^i$, such that $X = X^i e_i$, where Einstein summation notation is used:

\[\vee : X^i e_i ↦ X^i\]

For array manifolds, this converts an array representation of the tangent vector to a vector representation. The hat map is the vee map's inverse.

GroupManifold{𝔽,M<:AbstractManifold{𝔽},O<:AbstractGroupOperation} <: AbstractDecoratorManifold{𝔽}

    AbstractDecoratorManifold{𝔽}

The general linear group, that is, the group of all invertible matrices in $𝔽^{n×n}$.

The default metric is the left-$\mathrm{GL}(n)$-right-$\mathrm{O}(n)$-invariant metric whose inner product is

\[⟨X_p,Y_p⟩_p = ⟨p^{-1}X_p,p^{-1}Y_p⟩_\mathrm{F} = ⟨X_e, Y_e⟩_\mathrm{F},\]

where $X_p, Y_p ∈ T_p \mathrm{GL}(n, 𝔽)$, $X_e = p^{-1}X_p ∈ 𝔤𝔩(n) = T_e \mathrm{GL}(n, 𝔽) = 𝔽^{n×n}$ is the corresponding vector in the Lie algebra, and $⟨⋅,⋅⟩_\mathrm{F}$ denotes the Frobenius inner product.

By default, tangent vectors $X_p$ are represented with their corresponding Lie algebra vectors $X_e = p^{-1}X_p$.

exp(G::GeneralLinear, p, X)

Compute the exponential map on the GeneralLinear group.

The exponential map is

\[\exp_p \colon X ↦ p \operatorname{Exp}(X^\mathrm{H}) \operatorname{Exp}(X - X^\mathrm{H}),\]

where $\operatorname{Exp}(⋅)$ denotes the matrix exponential, and $⋅^\mathrm{H}$ is the conjugate transpose [ALRV14] [NM16].

log(G::GeneralLinear, p, q)

Compute the logarithmic map on the GeneralLinear(n) group.

The algorithm proceeds in two stages. First, the point $r = p^{-1} q$ is projected to the nearest element (under the Frobenius norm) of the direct product subgroup $\mathrm{O}(n) × S^+$, whose logarithmic map is exactly computed using the matrix logarithm. This initial tangent vector is then refined using the NLSolveInverseRetraction.

For GeneralLinear(n, ℂ), the logarithmic map is instead computed on the realified supergroup GeneralLinear(2n) and the resulting tangent vector is then complexified.

Note that this implementation is experimental.

where $θ$ is the canonical action of $\mathrm{SO}(n)$ on $\mathrm{T}(n)$ by vector rotation.

This constructor is equivalent to calling

Points on $\mathrm{SE}(n)$ may be represented as points on the underlying product manifold $\mathrm{T}(n) × \mathrm{SO}(n)$. For group-specific functions, they may also be represented as affine matrices with size (n + 1, n + 1) (see affine_matrix), for which the group operation is MultiplicationOperation.

SpecialLinear{n,𝔽} <: AbstractDecoratorManifold

The special linear group $\mathrm{SL}(n,𝔽)$ that is, the group of all invertible matrices with unit determinant in $𝔽^{n×n}$.

The Lie algebra $𝔰𝔩(n, 𝔽) = T_e \mathrm{SL}(n,𝔽)$ is the set of all matrices in $𝔽^{n×n}$ with trace of zero. By default, tangent vectors $X_p ∈ T_p \mathrm{SL}(n,𝔽)$ for $p ∈ \mathrm{SL}(n,𝔽)$ are represented with their corresponding Lie algebra vector $X_e = p^{-1}X_p ∈ 𝔰𝔩(n, 𝔽)$.

The default metric is the same left-$\mathrm{GL}(n)$-right-$\mathrm{O}(n)$-invariant metric used for GeneralLinear(n, 𝔽). The resulting geodesic on $\mathrm{GL}(n,𝔽)$ emanating from an element of $\mathrm{SL}(n,𝔽)$ in the direction of an element of $𝔰𝔩(n, 𝔽)$ is a closed subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}(n,𝔽)$. As a result, most metric functions forward to GeneralLinear.

project(G::SpecialLinear, p, X)

Orthogonally project $X ∈ 𝔽^{n × n}$ onto the tangent space of $p$ to the SpecialLinear $G = \mathrm{SL}(n, 𝔽)$. The formula reads

\[\operatorname{proj}_{p} = (\mathrm{d}L_p)_e ∘ \operatorname{proj}_{𝔰𝔩(n, 𝔽)} ∘ (\mathrm{d}L_p^{-1})_p \colon X ↦ X - \frac{\operatorname{tr}(X)}{n} I,\]

where the last expression uses the tangent space representation as the Lie algebra.

project(G::SpecialLinear, p)

Project $p ∈ \mathrm{GL}(n, 𝔽)$ to the SpecialLinear group $G=\mathrm{SL}(n, 𝔽)$.

Given the singular value decomposition of $p$, written $p = U S V^\mathrm{H}$, the formula for the projection is

\[\operatorname{proj}_{\mathrm{SL}(n, 𝔽)}(p) = U S D V^\mathrm{H},\]

where

\[D_{ij} = δ_{ij} \begin{cases} 1 & \text{ if } i ≠ n \\ \det(p)^{-1} & \text{ if } i = n \end{cases}.\]

\[(\mathrm{d}τ_a)_p : T_p \mathcal M → T_{τ_a p} \mathcal M\]

apply_diff_group(A::AbstractGroupAction, a, X, p)

Let $\mathcal G$ be the group acting on manifold $\mathcal M$ by the action A. The action is of element $g ∈ \mathcal G$ on a point $p ∈ \mathcal M$. The differential transforms vector X from the tangent space at a ∈ \mathcal G, $X ∈ T_a \mathcal G$ into a tangent space of the manifold $\mathcal M$. When action on element p is written as $\mathrm{d}τ^p$, with the specified left or right convention, the differential transforms vectors
