Abstract

The space GLn+ of matrices of positive determinant inherits an extrinsic metric space structure from ân2. On the other hand, taking the infimum of the lengths of all paths connecting a pair of points in GLn+ gives an intrinsic metric. We prove bi-Lipschitz equivalence between intrinsic and extrinsic metrics on GLn+, exploiting the conical structure of the stratification of the space of n × n matrices by rank.
