Abstract
We generalize classical kinematic formulas for convex bodies in a real vector space to the setting of non-compact Lie groups admitting a Cartan decomposition. Specifically, let be a closed linear group with Cartan decomposition , where is a maximal compact subgroup acting transitively on the unit sphere. For -invariant continuous valuations on convex bodies, we establish an integral geometric-type formula for . Key to our approach is the introduction of a Gaussian measure on , which ensures convergence of the non-compact part of the integral. In the special case , we recover a Hadwiger-type formula involving intrinsic volumes, with explicit constants computed via a Weyl integration formula.
