Abstract

The main concern of this paper is the Karcher mean of linearly independent triples (A,B,C) on the hyperbolic manifold of 2×2 positive definite matrices of determinant 1. We show that the Karcher mean is of the form Λ(A,B,C)=xA+y(B+C),0<x,yandx+2y<1 under the trace condition tr(AB−1)=tr(AC−1). We further find an invertible hyperbolic matrix M depending only on the trace values tr(AB−1) and tr(BC−1) such that [xy]=M[cosh⁡θsinh⁡θ] for some (unique) θ∈R.
