Riemannian metric on fixed rank manifold

55 Views Asked by At

I know that one can define metrics on the manifold of SPD matrices

$$ \mathcal{S}^n = \{ A \in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n} \ | \ \text{A positive semi-definite} \} $$

like the Log-Euclidean metric or the Riemannian Affine invariant metric (AIRM) that capture the geometry of the underlying manifold better than the standard Euclidean metric (see for example here).

I am interested in a Riemannian metric on the fixed-rank manifold

$$ \mathcal{M}_k = \{ X \in \mathbb{R}^{m\times n} \ | \ \text{rank}(X) = k \}, $$

that captures the geometry of the manifold and is also computationally accessible.

Does anybody know something? I would appreciate any help!
