Abstract
For any compact connected Lie group , we introduce a novel notion of average signature valued in its tensor Lie algebra, by taking the average value of the signature of the unique length-minimizing geodesics between all pairs of generic points in . we prove that using the average signature together with the trace operation with respect to the given bi-invariant Riemannian metric on , one can recover certain geometric quantities of , including the dimension, the diameter, the volume and the scalar curvature.
