Rotations in three, four, and five dimensions

Metric Geometry 2011-03-29 v1

Abstract

The geometry of rotations in dimensions 3, 4, and 5 is discussed using the matrix exponential map. Explicit closed formulas for the exponential of an antisymmetric matrix, as well as the logarithm of a rotation, are given for these dimensions.
