Geodesics of left invariant metrics on matrix Lie groups – Part 1
An elegant derivation of geodesic equations for left invariant metrics has been given by B. Kolev in his paper “Lie groups and mechanics. An introduction”. Here we will derive these equations using simple tools of matrix algebra and differential geometry, … Continue reading
