| Abstract | This paper is concerned with describing the space of matrices that describe rotations in non-orthogonal coordinates. In scenarios such as in crystallography, conformational analysis of polymers, and in the study of deployable mechanisms and rigid origami, non-orthogonal reference frames are natural. For example, non-orthogonal vectors in the direction of atomic bonds in a molecule, the lattice coordinates of a crystal, or the directions of links in a mechanism are intrinsic. In these cases it is awkward to impose an artificial orthonormal reference frame rather than choosing one that is defined by the geometry of the object being studied. With these applications in mind, we fully characterize the space of all possible non-orthogonal rotations. We find that in the 2D case, this space is a three-dimensional subset of the special linear group, SL(2, R), which is itself a three-dimensional Lie group. In the 3D case we find that the space of nonorthogonal rotations is a seven-dimensional subspace of SL(3, R), which is an eight-dimensional Lie group. In the 2D case we use the Iwasawa decomposition to fully characterize the solution. In the 3D case we parameterize this seven-dimensional space by conjugating elements of the rotation group SO(3) by elements of a discrete family of of four-parameter subgroups of GL(3, R), and using this we derive an inversion formula to extract classical orthogonal rotations from those expressed in non-orthogonal coordinates. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
