Bn = (5. 108) zero (ht )−1 ⎭ ⎩ optimistic diagonal entries become aware of that the swap of foundation δa, b zero zero δn+1−a, b (5. 109) maps Bn right into a workforce of higher triangular matrices, which are uniquely parametrized as exp (D) exp (N), with D = diag(di ) diagonal and N strictly top triangular. the gang aspect exp (D) exp (N) ∈ Bn relies basically polynomially on N, whereas the diagonal half is simply exp (D) = diag(edi ). The triangular subgroup Bn has a truly handy parametrization. fortunately, every one classification in Sp(2n, R)/U(n) admits one and just one triangular consultant, so this handy parametrization of Bn is, in reality, a really handy parametrization of the coset house Sp(2n, R)/U(n). Lemma five. 21 a component S ∈ Sp(2n, R) has a different decomposition of the shape b ∈ Bn , u ∈ U(n). S = b · u, (5. a hundred and ten) evidence we need to convey that each one sessions in Sp(2n, R)/U(n) admit a consultant of the shape b. Equivalently, we need to express π (Bn ) = Hn , the place π : Sp(2n, R) → Hn is the map π: A C B D → (i A + B)(i C + D)−1 . (5. 111) Now h X(ht )−1 zero (ht )−1 π −→ i hht + X, Downloaded from Cambridge Books on-line by means of IP a hundred and fifty. 244. nine. 176 on Sat Jan 31 06:41:43 GMT 2015. http://dx. doi. org/10. 1017/CBO9781107284203. 006 Cambridge Books on-line © Cambridge collage Press, 2015 (5. 112) σ –Models and symmetric areas 184 and the end result follows from the well–known proven fact that any actual symmetric optimistic– yes matrix will be written in a distinct manner within the shape hht , with h, an higher triangular matrix with confident diagonal entries (cf. the Iwasawa decomposition for GL(n, R); see ref. [165], proposition 1. 2. 6). The argument additionally implies the individuality of the Iwasawa decomposition. permit G ⊂ Sp(2n, R) be a subgroup that's good less than the involutive automorphism of Sp(2n, R), g → (gt )−1 , and a unconditionally geodesic symmetric submanifold. by means of Lemma five. 21, given a component g ∈ G we've precise b ∈ Bn and u ∈ U(n) such that g = bu. the final theorem of Iwasawa promises that b ∈ G after which u ∈ G∩U(n) = H. hence, every one element in G/H will get represented through a component of G of the shape exp (D) exp (N), the place D is a diagonal matrix that belongs to an Abelian subalgebra a ⊂ g, with dim a = rank(G/H), and N is an higher triangular matrix belonging to a nilpotent subalgebra n ⊂ g, with [a, n] ⊂ n.
