Coordinates on $SU(2)$

208 Views Asked by At

I am aware that one can have different parameterizations on $SU(2)$, e.g. in terms of hyperspherical polar coordinates. These are also geodesic coordinates.

One can also find parameterizations in terms of Euler angles.

However, I have difficulties to find clearly defined mappings in between the two coordinate systems in the literature.

So the question would be: How do I transfer from one to the other coordinate system?

Thanks.
