报告简介：In 1991 Wasin So and Robert C. Thompson conjectured two formulas of matrix exponential products.

Conjecture 1: For Hermitian matrices X,Y∈ Hn, there exist n by n unitary matrices U, V such that e^X/2e^Y e^X/2 = e^{UXU-1+V Y V-1}

Conjecture 2: Let S, T be n by n complex symmetric matrices in a neighborhood of zero. Then there exist nbu n complex orthogonal matrices P,Q such that

e^S/2e^T e^S/2 = e^{USU>+V TV}

The first conjecture was proved by So in 2004 and his proof makes use a result of Alexander A. Klyachko. We will discuss its generalization in the context of Lie group, which was obtained by Luyining Gan, Xuhua Liu and Tin-Yau Tam in 2021. The second conjecture remains open.
