Abstract

Using the theory of determinantal point processes we give upper bounds for the Green and Riesz energies for the rotation group SO (3) , with Riesz parameter up to 3. The Green function is computed explicitly, and a lower bound for the Green energy is established, enabling comparison of uniform point constructions on SO (3). The variance of rotation matrices sampled by a certain determinantal point process is estimated, and formulas for the L 2-norm of Gegenbauer polynomials with index 2 are deduced, which might be of independent interest.
