Abstract EN
A formulation based on Lie group homomorphisms is presented for simplifying the treatment of unitary similarity transformations of Hamiltonian matrices in nonadiabatic photochemistry.
A general derivation is provided whereby it is shown that a similarity transformation acting on a traceless, Hermitian matrix through a unitary matrix of SU(n) is equivalent to the product of a single matrix of On2-1 by a real vector.
We recall how Pauli matrices are the adequate tool when n=2 and show how the same is achieved for n=3 with Gell-Mann matrices.
