摘要:
We analyze a random walk on the orthogonal group SO(N) given by repeatedly rotating by a fixed angle through randomly chosen planes of R(N). We derive estimates of the rate at which this random walk will converge to Haar measure on SO(N), using character theory and the upper bound lemma of Diaconis and Shashahani. In some cases we are able to establish the existence of a ''cut off phenomenon'' for the random walk. This is the first such non-trivial result on a nonfinite group.
