Abstract:In the work [Bull, Austr. Math. Soc. 85 (2012), 315-234], S. R. Moghadasi has shown how the decomposition of the N-fold product of Lebesgue measure on R n implied by matrix polar decomposition can be used to derive the Blaschke-Petkantschin decomposition of measure formula from integral geometry. We use known formulas from random matrix theory to give a simplified derivation of the decomposition of Lebesgue product measure implied by matrix polar decomposition, applying too to the cases of complex and real qua… Show more
“…The moments for the Gaussian weight for all three number systems, and similarly the moments for the beta type I weight with ν l = 0 (uniform on the sphere) and βν l /2 = 1 (uniform on the ball), have been computed in the recent work [12,Prop. 8]; see also [22] in the Gaussian case.…”
A random matrix with rows distributed as a function of their length is said to be isotropic. When these distributions are Gaussian, beta type I, or beta type II, previous work has, from the viewpoint of integral geometry, obtained the explicit form of the distribution of the determinant. We use these result to evaluate the sum of the Lyapunov spectrum of the corresponding random matrix product, and we further give explicit expressions for the largest Lyapunov exponent. Generalisations to the case of complex or quaternion entries are also given. For standard Gaussian matrices X, the full Lyapunov spectrum for products of random matrices I N + 1 c X is computed in terms of a generalised hypergeometric function in general, and in terms of a single single integral involving a modified Bessel function for the largest Lyapunov exponent.

“…In its classical form, it can be interpreted as a decomposition of k-fold product measure of n-dimensional Euclidean space. However it has been restated and generalized by many authors; see [10,12,6,9]. Most of these works have used differential forms.…”
We give a new proof for the well-known Blaschke-Petkantschin formula which is based on the polar decomposition of rectangular matrices and may be of interest in random matrix theory.
“…After finishing the first version of the paper, the author became aware of close works by Moghadasi [19] and Forrester [10] devoted to application of the matrix polar decomposition to derivation of the Blaschke-Petkantschin formula. Our reasoning essentially differs from [10,19].…”
The Blaschke-Petkantschin formula is a variant of the polar decomposition of the k-fold Lebesgue measure on R n in terms of the corresponding measures on k-dimensional linear subspaces of R n . We suggest a new elementary proof of this formula and discuss its connection with the celebrated Drury's identity that plays a key role in the study of mapping properties of the Radon-John k-plane transforms. We give a new derivation of this identity and provide it with precise information about constant factors and the class of admissible functions.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.
