Riemannian Structure and Optimization for a Class of Low-Parametric Orthogonal Matrices

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 23, 2026 · UTC

In this paper, we are concerned with matrices formed by block-diagonal factors interleaved with fixed permutations -- a flexible family of structured matrices. This class has recently drawn interest in deep learning architectures for its balanced expressivity-efficiency trade-off, yet efficient computational strategies for working with it remain to be found. We approach this problem through Riemannian geometry and examine under what conditions this class admits a smooth manifold structure. For the practically important case of orthogonal two-factor matrices, we derive the essential Riemannian
