  APPENDIX B
A Cartan subalgebra of a semisimple Lie algebra L given the canonical decomposition, is a maximal Abelian subalgebra of M with which the symmetric space G/K is homeomorphic.
The Cartan subalgebra of u(n) is a Lie algebra of diagonal Hermitean matrices, that of su(n) is a Lie algebra of Hermitean matrices of trace zero.
The Cartan metric metric provides a map between L and its dual space L^+, the space of linear functionals acting on L. The adjoint action of the group on L is then mapped by the Cartan metric to an action of the group on L^+, the coadjoint representation.

form a Cartan pair of the Lie algebra su(2).
Now, a version of Cartan decomposition states that any element U in the Lie group SU(2) can be expressed in the form
In that context, the Cartan decomposition given above is called the Z-Y decomposition of a single-qubit gate.

 Lie derivative
Note that the Cartan formulation of the "Lie derivative" acting on differential forms is precisely a cohomological method.
IMO Cartan's methods and cohomology are important methods of making progress in areas where other techniques have failed.
The idea that Cartan's formula for the Lie derivative acting on forms yields the functional format for the Lorentz force as a component of the Lie derivative is mathematically correct.

 APPENDIX G
This appendix collects formulae that express certain quantities associated with the Hilbert space Hilb(n) in terms of those similarly calculated for its "positive" and "negative" subspaces.
This division is invariantly defined under the adjoint action of the group U(G, n) by its Cartan canonical decomposition.

Given a representation of a real or complex reductive Lie group G on V, a parabolic subgroup P imposes certain partial order (or grading) on V. One can describe the parabolic subgroup orbits and invariants on V by studying the structure of G in accordance with the partial order.
They are relative to the Bruhat decomposition, Iwasawa decomposition, and some topics in representation theory.
Among them are Jordan decomposition, complete multiplicative Jordan decomposition, Cartan decomposition, Bruhat decomposition, Iwasawa decomposition, and Levi decomposition.

The conjugacy of Cartan subalgebras, which enables us to define the numeric invariant called rank, is developed in analogous way to the book of Chevalley [Thorie des Groupes de Lie, 1951].
Bases of roots and their elementary properties are developed, and how to go from a basis to another by emans of the Weyl group [it is supposed that the root system is reduced, for nonreduced systems see for example the sixth chapter of Bourbaki: Algbres de Lie, Hermann 1967].
Chapter six begin with the classical Weyl theorems, and the Cartan decomposition of a semisimple Lie algebra is obtained.

For two level quantum systems a decomposition due to F. Lowenthal is used.
This decomposition is a generalization of the classical Euler decomposition for SU(2).
For the four level quantum system of two interacting spin 1/2 particles an algorithm is also presented which uses a modification of Cartan decomposition of the Lie group SU(4) and allows to drive of the state to any desired final configuration.

 Abstract of P. Gerardin's talk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
A rank l Riemannian symmetric space Z is a homogeneous space under the group G of real points of a connected reductive group.
The points in Z correspond to the Cartan involutions on G, the maximal flat subspaces in Z correspond to the maximal split tori for G, the distinguished boundary of Z to the set of minimal parabolic subgroups.
The Cartan decomposition realizes a map from G\(ZxZ) to a real cone of dimension l, and this defines spheres on the space Z. The ring of invariant differential operators on Z is a rank l polynomial algebra.

Via the $p$-adic Bruhat decomposition for $G_{K}$, the computation of $\Phi(g)$ is reduced to that of $\Phi(\xi(\pi))$ where $\xi \in \mbox{Hom}({\bf G_{m}},T)$ is as in \cite{I2} or \cite{M1}.
We are able to parametrize the simple generalized Igusa local zeta functions associated to $(G^{'},\rho)$ by examining the above Cartan product decomposition of $\rho$.
The generalized Igusa local zeta function $Z_{K}(s)$ associated to $(G^{'},\rho)$ is simple if and only if the decomposition diagram of $(G^{'},\rho)$ is connected.

For each group G, a maximal compact subgroup K is found.
The Lie algebra k, of K is a Cartan subalgebra of g and determines a Cartan decomposition of g, which in turn, gives a decomposition of g into the root subspaces with respect to k.

The author begins with a summary of the general properties of nilpotent, solvable, and semisimple Lie algebras.
The theory is illustrated by using the example of sln; in particular, the representation theory of sl2 is completely worked out.
This concerns solvable and nilpotent Lie algebras, as well as some generic results on semisimple algebras (results that do not involve Cartan subalgebras).

We first give a classification of equivariant compactifications of symmetric varieties.
The method itself might be of interest: we use an analogue of Cartan decomposition for the p-adic orbit space G(k[[t]])\(G/G^\sigma)(k((t))).
We identify a nice class of compactifications called by various names: maximal Satake compactification, Oshima-Sekiguchi compactification and De Concini-Procesi compactification.

Recently it has been shown that time-optimal quantum computation is attained by using the Cartan decomposition of a unitary matrix.
We extend this approach by noting that the unitary group is compact.
