Metric Differential Geometry
The orthogonal group is a mathematical group consisting of all orthogonal transformations that preserve the inner product in a Euclidean space. It plays a crucial role in understanding isometries, as it captures the idea of distance-preserving transformations, which are central to Riemannian geometry and the study of Riemannian isometry groups.
congrats on reading the definition of Orthogonal Group. now let's actually learn it.
