    left-invariant w.r.t. \(O(n,W_0^{-1}\) )
  • Right-invariant w.r.t. \(GL(n)\)

\(\mathrm{Hor}_I = \) upper triangular matrices

Lie subalgebra \(\Rightarrow\)  \(\mathrm{Hor}\) is integrable

\(K=\) subgroup of upper triangular matrices with positive entries on diagonal

W_1 = \pi(R) = R^\top W_0 R

I
W_0
W_1
W(t)
\displaystyle H_{W_1}(\Sigma) = -\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{tr}(W_1 W^{-1}) + \frac{1}{2}\log\det(W_1 W^{-1})

Relative entropy

\dot W = W_1 - W
\dot W = \nabla_{\bar{\mathcal G}}H_{W_0}(W)

P(n)\simeq O(n)\backslash GL(n)
P(n)/O(n,)\simeq \mathrm{poly}^+_n
\pi(A) = A^\top A
\varpi(P) = \det(\lambda I - W)

Right action by \((Q,W)\mapsto Q^\top W Q \), clearly not free!

Geodesic equation on \(D(n)\):

\(D(n)\) is totally geodesic submanifold!

\displaystyle \ddot\gamma_i - \frac{\dot\gamma_i^2}{\gamma_i} = 0

Notice: \(D(n)\) intersects \(W_1\)-orbit \(n!\) times
( \(D(n)\) an \(n!\)-covering of \(\mathrm{poly}_n^+\) )
