Does orthogonal-invariance of a differential imply invariance of the function?












2












$begingroup$


Let $U:text{Hom}(mathbb{R}^d,mathbb{R}^d) to mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function .



If $U$ is orthogonally-invariant, i.e. $U(QA)=U(A)$ for every $Q in text{SO}(n),A in text{Hom}(mathbb{R}^d,mathbb{R}^d)$, then



$$ dU_{QA}(QB)=dU_{A}(B) tag{1}$$



Does the converse hold? That is, suppose $U$ is a $C^{infty}$ function whose differential satisfies equation $(1) $ for every $A,Bin text{Hom}(mathbb{R}^d,mathbb{R}^d),Qin text{SO}(n)$. Is it true that $U(QA)=U(A)$ for every $Q in text{SO}(n)$?

    You don't really need $f$ periodic: it's sufficient for $f$ to be bounded, which follows from the domain of $h$ being compact

The answer is positive. Indeed, define $h:text{SO}(n) to mathbb{R}$, by
$$ h(Q)=U(QA).$$



Then, $dh_Q(tilde B)=dU_{QA}(tilde BA)=dU_{A}(Q^{-1}tilde BA)=dh_I(Q^{-1}tilde B)$,
so
$$ dh_Q = dh_I circ Q^{-1} ,,,text{ for every } Q in text{SO}(n). tag{1}$$



Since $text{SO}(n)$ is compact, $h$ obtains a maximum at some point $P in text{SO}(n)$. Thus, $dh_P=0$, hence by equation $(1)$, $dh_I=0$, and so $dh_Q =0$ for every $Q in text{SO}(n)$. This implies $h$ is constant.



Comment: This argument use the compactness of the symmetry group $text{SO}(n)$ in an essential way; indeed, for non-compact groups $G$, "differential invariance" of a function $G to mathbb{R}$ does not imply it is constant. Take e.g. $G=mathbb{R}$, and $f(x)=x$.
