Constant-norm geodesics are shifted exponential solutions
Constant-norm geodesics are shifted exponential solutions
Let denote the vector space of matrices equipped with the Hilbert--Schmidt norm, and consider geodesics on with the Hilbert--Schmidt metric. A shifted exponential solution is a curve of the form
for constant matrices and for which the curve lies in .
Constant-norm geodesic conjecture. Shifted exponential solutions of the form are the only geodesics with constant norm when viewed as curves in the vector space with the Hilbert--Schmidt norm.
The supplied text gives no resolution status or further evidence for this conjecture, so it remains open in the database.
