Group theory

Ambiguities in rotation representations

Summary

 Extrinsic/GlobalIntrinsic/Local
Active$\mathbf{x}_2 = T_2 T_1 \mathbf{x}_0$$\mathbf{x}_2 = T_1 T_2 \mathbf{x}_0$
Passive$\mathbf{x}^{\prime\prime} = T_1^{-1}, T_2^{-1} \mathbf{x}$$\mathbf{x}^{\prime\prime} = T_2^{-1}, T_1^{-1} \mathbf{x}$
  • Active $\longleftrightarrow$ passive: invert transformation
  • Global $\longleftrightarrow$ local: reverse transformation order
