Invariant Integration over the Unitary Group
نویسنده
چکیده
Integrals for the product of unitary-matrix elements over the U (n) group will be discussed. A group-theoretical formula is available to convert them into a multiple sum, but unfortunately the sums are often tedious to compute. In this paper, we develop an alternative method in which these sums are avoided, and group theory is rendered unnecessary. Only unitarity and the invariance of the Haar measure are required for the computation. The method can also be used to get a closed expression for the simpler integral of monomials over a hypersphere.

SVD compression, unitary transforms, and computational complexity
The search for fast unitary transforms and the need for data compression in linear systems are complementary issues. Compression requires the definition of a threshold dependent on the condition number, which is invariant over the unitary group. With respect tot this threshold it is shown that the SVD is the optimal tool. Considerations in connection with the Kronecker product and direct sum of...
متن کاملDesign of Unitary Space-Time Codes from Representations of SU (2)
We explicitly construct an irreducible four-dimensional unitary representation of the Lie group SU (2) and use it for the construction of high-rate unitary space-time codes for four transmit antennas. The tools we use are invariant integration on the group to unitarize the representation, and dense spherical codes on the three-dimensional sphere. Our construction calls for the design of such sp...
متن کاملLink Invariants, Holonomy Algebras and Functional Integration
Given a principal G-bundle over a smooth manifold M , with G a compact Lie group, and given a finite-dimensional unitary representation ρ of G, one may define an algebra of functions on A/G, the “holonomy Banach algebra” Hb, by completing an algebra generated by regularized Wilson loops. Elements of the dual H∗b may be regarded as a substitute for measures on A/G. There is a natural linear map ...
متن کاملSelected topics in Mathematical Physics: Quantum Information Theory Talk 5: Averages over the unitary group
In this talk, it is shown how to calculate averages over the Unitary group by applying mathematical tools presented in the previous talk. Particulary, Schur’s Lemma is utilized to two useful examples. Eventually, the results are used to show that a random pure state on a finite-dimensional bipartite Hilbert space is close to maximally entangled. 1 Representations of the Unitary group and Schur’...
متن کاملSymbolic integration with respect to the Haar measure on the unitary group in Mathematica
We present IntU package for Mathematica computer algebra system. The presented package performs a symbolic integration of polynomial functions over the unitary group with respect to unique normalized Haar measure. We describe a number of special cases which can be used to optimize the calculation speed for some classes of integrals. We also provide some examples of usage of the presented package.
